11.6 Usage Notes
Application programmers should note that the following types of contention can occur in the free-
running timer.
Contention between FRC Write and Clear
If an internal counter clear signal is generated during the state after an FRC write cycle, the clear
signal takes priority and the write is not performed.
Figure 11.18 shows this type of contention.
