15.8 Example timer operation
shows a timer configured to reset the count and generate an interrupt on match.
The prescaler is set to 2 and the match register set to 6. At the end of the timer cycle
where the match occurs, the timer count is reset. This gives a full length cycle to the
match value. The interrupt indicating that a match occurred is generated in the next clock
after the timer reached the match value.
shows a timer configured to stop and generate an interrupt on match. The
prescaler is again set to 2 and the match register set to 6. In the next clock after the timer
reaches the match value, the timer enable bit in TCR is cleared, and the interrupt
indicating that a match occurred is generated.
