@par Example Description

Configuration of the TIM peripheral to generate a timebase. This 
example using the STM32F0xx TIM LL API.The peripheral initialization
uses LL unitary services functions for optimization purposes (performance and size).

In this example TIM2 input clock (TIM2CLK)  is set to APB1 clock (PCLK1),
since APB1 prescaler is equal to 1.
   TIM2CLK = PCLK1
   PCLK1 = HCLK
   => TIM2CLK = HCLK = SystemCoreClock (48 MHz)

To set the TIM2 counter clock frequency to 10 KHz, the pre-scaler (PSC) is calculated as follows:
PSC = (TIM2CLK / TIM2 counter clock) - 1
PSC = (SystemCoreClock /10 KHz) - 1

SystemCoreClock is set to 48 MHz for STM32F0xx Devices.

The auto-reload (ARR) is calculated to get a timebase period of 100ms,
meaning that initial timebase frequency is 10 Hz.
ARR = (TIM2 counter clock / timebase frequency) - 1
ARR = (TIM2 counter clock / 10) - 1

Update interrupts are enabled. Within the update interrupt service routine pin PA.05
(connected to LED2 on board STM32F072RB-Nucleo RevC) is toggled.

User push-button can be used to modify the timebase period from 100 ms
to 1 s in 100 ms steps. To do so, every time User push-button is pressed, the
autoreload register (ARR) is updated. In up-counting update event is generated 
at each counter overflow (when the counter reaches the auto-reload value). 

Finally the timebase frequency is calculated as follows:
timebase frequency = TIM2 counter clock /((PSC + 1)*(ARR + 1)*(RCR + 1))
