Timer Counter Register
8.4 Timer Counter Register
A 15-stage ripple counter is the core of the timer. The value of the first
eight stages is readable at any time from the read-only timer counter
register (TCNTR).

Figure 8-3. Timer Counter Register (TCNTR)
Power-on clears the entire counter chain and begins clocking the
counter. After 4064 cycles, the power-on reset circuit is released,
clearing the counter again and allowing the MCU to come out of reset.
A timer overflow function at the eighth counter stage allows a timer
interrupt every 1024 internal clock cycles.
Each count of the timer counter register takes eight oscillator cycles or
four cycles of the internal clock.
