19.11.12 Input Capture Register 3 Low and High byte
The ICR3L and ICR3H register pair represents the 16-bit value, ICR3. The low byte [7:0] (suffix L) is accessible at the original offset. The high byte [15:8] (suffix H) can be accessed at offset + 0x01. For more details on reading and writing 16-bit registers, refer to Accessing 16-bit Timer/Counter Registers.

Bits 15:0 – ICR3[15:0] Input Capture 3
The Input Capture is updated with the counter (TCNT3) value each time an event occurs on the ICP3 pin (or optionally on the Analog Comparator output for Timer/Counter3). The Input Capture can be used for defining the counter TOP value.
The Input Capture Register is 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are read simultaneously when the CPU accesses these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary High Byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. Refer to Accessing 16-bit Timer/Counter Registers for details.
