20.1.5.15 TCAR1 Register (offset = 50h) [reset = 0h]
TCAR1 is shown in Figure 20-23 and described in Table 20-25.
When the appropriate (rising, falling or both) transition is detected in the edge detection logic the current
counter value is stored to the TCAR1 register. Note that since the OCP clock is completely asynchronous
with the timer clock, some synchronization is done in order to make sure that the TCAR1 value is not read
while it is being updated due to some capture event. In 16-bit mode the following sequence must be
followed to read the TCAR1 register properly:
