/** @addtogroup system_timer
* @brief Functions that provide access to the system clock.
*
* A single system tick (as returned by ::halCommonGetInt16uMillisecondTick() and
* ::halCommonGetInt32uMillisecondTick() ) is approximately 1 millisecond.
*
* - When used with a 32.768kHz crystal, the system tick is 0.976 milliseconds.
*
* - When used with a 3.6864MHz crystal, the system tick is 1.111 milliseconds.
*
* A single quarter-second tick (as returned by
* ::halCommonGetInt16uQuarterSecondTick() ) is approximately 0.25 seconds.
*
* The values used by the time support functions will wrap after an interval.
* The length of the interval depends on the length of the tick and the number
* of bits in the value. However, there is no issue when comparing time deltas
* of less than half this interval with a subtraction, if all data types are the
* same.
*
* See system-timer.h for source code.
