14.6 Usage Notes 
1.  Contention between TCNT Write and Clear Operations: If a counter clear signal is generated 
in the T
2
 state of a TCNT write cycle, TCNT clearing has priority and the TCNT write is not 
performed. Figure 14.52 shows the timing in this case.

2.  Contention between TCNT Write and Increment Operations: If incrementation is done in T

state of a TCNT write cycle, TCNT writing has priority. Figure 14.53 shows the timing in this 
case.
