for φ = 10 MHz is enclosed in
parentheses.
When PSS = 0:

001: Clock φ/64 (frequency: 1.6 ms)
010: Clock φ/128 (frequency: 3.2 ms)
011: Clock φ/512 (frequency: 13.2 ms)
100: Clock φ/2048 (frequency: 52.4 ms)
101: Clock φ/8192 (frequency: 209.8 ms)
110: Clock φ/32768 (frequency: 838.8 ms)

Notes: 1. Only 0 can be written, for flag clearing.
2. When the OVF flag is polled with the interval timer interrupt disabled, read the OVF bit
while it is 1 at least twice
3. The overflow period is the time from when TCNT starts counting up from H'00 until
overflow occurs.
