During emulation mode, the timer continues to run according to the value of the TIMER_TIOCP_CFG[1] EMUFREE bit.
If the TIMER_TIOCP_CFG[1] EMUFREE bit is set to 1, timer execution is not stopped in emulation mode and the interrupt is still generated when overflow or match is reached.
If the TIMER_TIOCP_CFG[1] EMUFREE bit is set to 0, the prescaler and timer are frozen and both resume on exit from emulation mode. The asynchronous external input pin (MCU_TIMER_IO[9-0] or TIMER_IO[7-0]) is internally synchronized on two timer-clock rising edges.
