The counter/timer, prescaler, and associated mode registers are mapped into the
register file as shown in Figure 16. The software uses the counter/timer as a gen-
eral-purpose register, which eliminates the need for special instructions.

Prescaler and Counter/Timer
The prescaler PRE₁ (F3h) consists of an 8-bit register and a 6-bit down-counter as
shown in Figure 15 on page 30. The prescaler register is a read-write register.
Figure 17 shows the prescaler register.
