preloaded)
17.3.3 Clock source
The counter clock is provided by the Internal clock (CK_INT) source.
The CEN (in the TIMx_CR1 register) and UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR register) are actual
control bits and can be changed only by software (except for UG that remains cleared
automatically). As soon as the CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal
clock CK_INT.
Figure 197 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the upcounter in normal mode,
without prescaler.

17.3.4 Debug mode
When the microcontroller enters the debug mode (Cortex™-M4F core - halted), the TIMx
counter either continues to work normally or stops, depending on the DBG_TIMx_STOP
configuration bit in the DBG module. For more details, refer to Section 33.16.2: Debug
support for timers, watchdog, bxCAN and I2C.
