Description
The CDP1878C is a dual counter-timer consisting of two 16-
bit programmable down counters that are independently
controlled by separate control registers. The value in the reg-
isters determine the mode of operation and control func-
tions. Counters and registers are directly addressable in
memory space by any general industry type microproces-
sors, in addition to input/output mapping with the CDP1800
series microprocessors.
Each counter-timer can be configured in five modes with the
additional flexibility of gate-level control. The control regis-
ters in addition to mode formatting, allow software start and
stop, interrupt enable, and an optional read control that
allows a stable readout from the counters. Each counter-
timer has software control of a common interrupt output with
an interrupt status register indicating which counter-timer
has timed out.
In addition to the interrupt output, true and complemented
outputs are provided for each counter-timer for control of
peripheral devices.
This type is supplied in 28-lead dual-in-line ceramic pack-
ages (D suffix), and 28-lead dual-in-line plastic packages (E
suffix).
