10.4 Core Tim e r Counte r Re g iste r (CTCR)
A 15-stage ripple counter driven by a divide-by-eight prescaler is the
basis of the core timer. The value of the first eight stages is readable at
any time from the read-only timer counter register as shown in
Figure 10-3.

Figure 10-3. Core Timer Counter Register (CTCR)
Power-on clears the entire counter chain and begins clocking the
counter. After the startup delay (16 or 4064 internal bus cycles
depending on the DELAY bit in the mask option register (MOR)), the
power-on reset circuit is released, clearing the counter again and
allowing the MCU to come out of reset.
