The Nuclei Adv_Timer (Advanced-control Timers) consist of a 32-bit auto-reload counter driven by a programmable prescaler. It may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of input signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare, PWM, complementary PWM with dead-time insertion). Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the RCC clock controller prescalers.
