source.
(2) Even if an underflow occurs, the content of the reload register is not reloaded, but the count
continues. At this time, the timer Ai interrupt request bit goes to "1".
(3) If switching from an up count to a down count or vice versa while a count is in progress, the
switch takes effect from the next effective edge of the count source.
(4) Even if an overflow occurs, the content of the reload register is not reloaded, but the count
continues. At this time, the timer Ai interrupt request bit goes to "1".
