T8 counts down to 0, toggles T8_OUT, sets the time-out status bit (CTR0 D5), and
generates an interrupt if enabled (CTR0 D1). This completes one cycle. T8 then
loads from TC8H or TC8L, according to the T8_OUT level, and repeats the cycle.
You can modify the values in TC8H or TC8L at any time.The new values take
effect when they are loaded. Do not write these registers at the time the values
are to be loaded into the counter/timer. An initial count of 1 is not allowed. An ini-
tial count of 0 causes TC8 to count from 0 to FFh to FEh. Transition from 0 to FFh
is not a time-out condition (see Figure 31).
