The MTIM is a simple 8-bit timer with several software selectable clock sources and a programmable interrupt.

The central component of the MTIM is the 8-bit counter that can operate as a free-running counter or a modulo counter. A timer overflow interrupt can be enabled to generate periodic interrupts for time-based software loops.

Peripheral Initialization Components provide a low-level hardware approach to initialize registers of the peripheral module. They are intended for experienced users.
