  This demo is based on the GD32L233R-EVAL-V1.1/GD32L235R-EVAL-V1.0 board, it shows how 
to synchronize TIMER peripherals in parallel mode.
  
  In this example three timers are used:
  1/TIMER2 is configured as master timer:
  - PWM mode is used.
  - The TIMER2 enable event is used as trigger output.

  2/TIMER1 is slave for TIMER2, 
  - PWM mode is used.
  - The IT0(TIMER2) is used as input trigger.

  3/TIMER8 is slave for TIMER2, 
  - PWM mode is used.
  - The IT1(TIMER2) is used as input trigger.
