12.5.5  TCNT External Reset Timing 
TCNT is cleared at the rising edge of an external reset input, depending on the settings of the 
CCLR1 and CCLR0 bits in TCR. The width of the clearing pulse must be at least 1.5 states. Figure 
12.8 shows the timing of this operation.

12.5.6  Timing of Overflow Flag (OVF) Setting 
OVF in TCSR is set to 1 when the timer count overflows (changes from H'FF to H'00). Figure 
12.9 shows the timing of this operation.
