MULTIJUNCTION TIMERS
10.3 TOP (Output-Related 16-Bit Timer)
32180 Group User’s Manual (Rev.1.0)
In the example below, the reload register is initially set to H’A000. (The initial counter value can be undefined,
and does not have to be specific.) When the timer starts, the reload register value is loaded into the counter,
letting it start counting. Thereafter, it continues counting down until it underflows after reaching the minimum
count.
