18.5.14 GPTMTAPR Register (Offset = 0x38) [reset = 0x0]
GPTM Timer A Prescale (GPTMTAPR)
This register allows software to extend the range of the timers when they are used individually. When in
one-shot or periodic down count modes, this register acts as a true prescaler for the timer counter. When
acting as a true prescaler, the prescaler counts down to 0 before the value in the GPTMTAR and
GPTMTAV registers are incremented. In all other individual/split modes, this register is a linear extension
of the upper range of the timer counter, holding bits 23:16 in the 16-bit modes of the 16/32-bit GPTM.See
for more details and an example.

GPTM Timer A Prescale.
The register loads this value on a write.
A read returns the current value of the register.
For the 16/32-bit GPTM, this field contains the entire 8-bit prescaler.
