DLCY Register:
Bits <4:0> of the DLCY register are used to assign Delay Cycles to the Counter/Timer.
Various Clock Scaling values possible are 0 through 31 (decimal).
At RESET these bits initialize as 0. If necessary, the user has the option to set these bits up
to generate Delay Cycles (DLCY) to scale down the Counter/Timer clock (see Table 24).
