16.7.3 Timer Counter registers
The 32-bit Timer Counter is incremented when the Prescale Counter reaches its terminal
count. Unless it is reset before reaching its upper limit, the TC will count up through the
value 0xFFFF FFFF and then wrap back to the value 0x0000 0000. This event does not
cause an interrupt, but a Match register can be used to detect an overflow if needed.
16.7.4 Prescale Register
The 32-bit Prescale Register specifies the maximum value for the Prescale Counter.
16.7.5 Prescale Counter Register
The 32-bit Prescale Counter controls division of PCLK by some constant value before it is
applied to the Timer Counter. This allows control of the relationship between the resolution
of the timer and the maximum time before the timer overflows. The Prescale Counter is
incremented on every PCLK. When it reaches the value stored in the Prescale Register,
the Timer Counter is incremented, and the Prescale Counter is reset on the next PCLK.
This causes the TC to increment on every PCLK when PR = 0, every 2 PCLKs when
PR = 1, etc.

The Timer Counter and the Prescale Counter are
synchronously reset on the next positive edge of PCLK.
The counters remain reset until TCR[1] is returned to
zero.
