13.5.3 Input Capture Timing 
Input capture on the rising edge, falling edge, or both edges can be selected through settings in 
TIOR0 and TIOR1. Figure 13.17 shows the timing when the falling edge is selected. The pulse 
width of the input capture signal must be at least two system clock (φ) cycles; shorter pulses will 
not be detected correctly.

13.5.4 Timing of Counter Clearing by Compare Match 
Figure 13.18 shows the timing when the counter is cleared by compare match A. When the GRA 
value is N, the counter counts from 0 to N, and its cycle is N + 1.
