Timer Interface

Detailed Description

Interface for timer functions.

Summary

The general timer interface provides standard timer functionality including periodic mode, one-shot mode, PWM output, and free-running timer mode. After each timer cycle (overflow or underflow), an interrupt can be triggered.

If an instance supports output compare mode, it is provided in the extension configuration timer_on_<instance>_cfg_t defined in r_<instance>.h.
