General-purpose Timer Registers
13.5.1.14 TAPR Register (Offset = 38h) [reset = 0h]
TAPR is shown in
Timer A Pre-scale
This register allows software to extend the range of the timers when they are used individually.
When in one-shot or periodic down count modes, this register acts as a true prescaler for the timer
counter.
When acting as a true prescaler, the prescaler counts down to 0 before the value in TAR and TAV
registers are incremented.
In all other individual/split modes, this register is a linear extension of the upper range of the timer counter,
holding bits 23:16 in the 16-bit modes of the 16/32-bit GPT.

Description
Software must not rely on the value of a reserved. Writing any other
value than the reset value may result in undefined behavior.
Timer A Pre-scale.
Prescaler ratio in one-shot and periodic count mode is TAPSR + 1,
that is:
0: Prescaler ratio = 1
1: Prescaler ratio = 2
2: Prescaler ratio = 3
...
255: Prescaler ratio = 256
