29.4.23 Timer synchronization
The TIMx timers are linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. When
one Timer is configured in Master Mode, it can reset, start, stop or clock the counter of
another Timer configured in Slave Mode.
Figure 432 and Figure 433 show examples of master/slave timer connections.
