6.1.16.3 Compare Registers

The tick timer counter is compared to the Compare register. When they are equal, the tick
timer interrupt is asserted and the overflow counter is incremented. If the clear-on-compare
mode is enabled, the counter is also cleared. For periodic interrupts, this equation should be
used to calculate the compare register value for a specific period (T):

Compare register value = T (us)

When programming the tick timer for periodic interrupts, the counter should be cleared to
zero by software and then enabled. If the counter does not initially start at 0, the time to the
first interrupt may be longer or shorter than expected. The rollover time for the counter is 71.6
minutes.
