23.5.20 Period Buffer Register

This register serves as the buffer for the period register (TCEn.PER). Accessing this register using the CPU or UPDI will affect the PERBV flag. The TCEn.PERBUFL and TCEn.PERBUFH register pair represents the 16-bit value, TCEn.PERBUF. 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.
