Operation
(1) Setting the count start flag to “1” causes the counter to perform a down count on the count source.
(2) If an underflow occurs, the content of the reload register is reloaded, and the counter continues
counting. At this time, the Timer Bi interrupt request bit goes to “1”.
(3) Setting the count start flag to “0” causes the counter to hold its value and to stop.
