PS[2:0] — Prescaler Select Bits
These read/write bits select either the PTD6/TACLK pin or one of the
seven prescaler outputs as the input to the TIMA counter as
Table 11-2 shows. Reset clears the PS[2:0] bits.
11.10.2 TIMA Counter Registers
The two read-only TIMA counter registers contain the high and low bytes
of the value in the TIMA counter. Reading the high byte (TACNTH)
latches the contents of the low byte (TACNTL) into a buffer. Subsequent
reads of TACNTH do not affect the latched TACNTL value until TACNTL
is read. Reset clears the TIMA counter registers. Setting the TIMA reset
bit (TRST) also clears the TIMA counter registers.
NOTE:
If you read TACNTH during a break interrupt, be sure to unlatch
TACNTL by reading TACNTL before exiting the break interrupt.
Otherwise, TACNTL retains the value latched during the break.
