(2) Operation of event counter mode
<1> Timer count register mn (TCRmn) holds its initial value while operation is stopped (TEmn = 0).
<2> Operation is enabled (TEmn = 1) by writing 1 to the TSmn bit.
<3> As soon as 1 has been written to the TSmn bit and 1 has been set to the TEmn bit, the value of timer data
register mn (TDRmn) is loaded to the TCRmn register to start counting.
<4> After that, the TCRmn register value is counted down according to the count clock of the valid edge of the
TImn input.

Remark
The above figure shows the timing when the noise filter is not in use. By making the noise filter on-state,
the edge detection becomes 2 f

cycles (it sums up to 3 to 4 cycles) later than the normal cycle of
TImn input. The error per one period occurs be the asynchronous between the period of the TImn input
and that of the count clock (f

).
