TIMCLK equals PCLK and TIMCLKENX equals one
Figure 7 shows the case where TIMCLK is identical to PCLK and TIMCLKENX is
permanently enabled. In this case, the counter is decremented on every TIMCLK edge.
Figure 7. TIMCLK equals PCLK and TIMCLKENX equals one, clock example
TIMCLK is less than PCLK and TIMCLKENX equals one
Figure 8 shows the case where TIMCLK frequency is a submultiple of the PCLK frequency
but the rising edges of TIMCLK are synchronous and balanced with PCLK edges.
TIMCLKENX is permanently enabled. In this case, the counter is decremented on every
TIMCLK rising edge.

Prescaler operation
The prescaler generates a timer clock enable that is used to enable the decrementing of the
timer counter at one of the following rates:
The effective timer clock rate where TIMCLK is qualified by TIMCLKENX
The effective timer clock rate divided by 16
The effective timer clock rate divided by 256.
