16-bit free-run timer
The count value of the 16-bit free-run timer can be use as the base time for the input capture.
G
Input capture
The input capture detects the rising edge, falling edge, or both edges of the external signal input to the input
pins to retain the count value of the 16-bit free-run timer.Detecting the edge of the input signal generates an
interrupt.
