## Introduction

|
|
|
This core implements a simple timer with a prescaler. The prescaler
|
|
|
|
|
allows measurement of time durations rather than cycles. If for
|
|
|
|
|
example setting the prescaler to the clock frequency in Hertz, the
|
|
|
|
|
timer will count seconds.

## Details
|
|
|
|
|
The timer counter and the prescaler counter are both 32 bits.
|
|
|
|
|
When enabled the counter counts down one integer value per cycle.

|
The timer will stop when reaching final zero (given by prescaler times the initial value of the timer)
|
|
|
|
|
and the running flag will be lowered.
