13.2 External Signal Description
The MTIM includes one external signal, TCLK, used to input an external clock when selected as the 
MTIM clock source. The signal properties of TCLK are shown in Table 13-1. 
The TCLK input must be synchronized by the bus clock. Also, variations in duty cycle and clock jitter 
must be accommodated. Therefore, the TCLK signal must be limited to one-fourth of the bus frequency.
The TCLK pin can be muxed with a general-purpose port pin. See the Pins and Connections chapter for 
the pin location and priority of this function.
