/*
* Translate timer ticks to microseconds without losing precicision
*
* There are hardware timers whose frequency can't be expressed as
* ticks-per-microsecond integer-value because only a ticks-per-millisecond
* integer-value is precise enough. We don't want to use expensive
* floating-point values here but nonetheless want to translate from ticks
* to time with microseconds precision. Thus, we split the input in two and
* translate both parts separately. This way, we can raise precision by
* shifting the values to their optimal bit position. Afterwards, the
* results are shifted back and merged together again.
*
* Please ensure that the assertion "ticks_per_ms >= 1000" is true
* when calling this method!
