Understanding NXP LPCxxxx Series Timer

Not very sure about how the NXP LPCxxxx timer works ? Well, so do I =)

But after working with few of LPCxxxx series, I finally can get a good view of how the Timer works. Here’s a block diagram of how the Timer works (at least in LPC23xx, LPC24xx, LPC31xx, LPC32xx, LPC111x, LPC176x)
