When Timer 2 receives the trigger signal its CEN bit is automatically set and the counter
counts until we write '0 to the CEN bit in the TIM2_CR1 register. Both counter clock
frequencies are divided by 3 by the prescaler compared to CK_INT (f
1.
Configure TIM3 master mode to send its Update Event (UEV) as trigger output
(MMS=010 in the TIM3_CR2 register).
2.
Configure the TIM3 period (TIM3_ARR registers).
3.
Configure TIM2 to get the input trigger from TIM3 (TS=00010 in the TIM2_SMCR
register).
4.
Configure TIM2 in trigger mode (SMS=110 in TIM2_SMCR register).
5.
Start TIM3 by writing '1 in the CEN bit (TIM3_CR1 register).
