The CP82C54-10 is a CMOS Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) from Intersil. It is a 24-pin DIP package and is used to generate accurate time delays or intervals. The CP82C54-10 has three independent 16-bit counters and a control register. The counters can be programmed to count down from any 16-bit value. The control register allows the user to select the clock source, counter mode, and interrupt enable/disable. The clock source can be either an external signal or an internal clock. The counter mode can be either single-shot or periodic. The CP82C54-10 is used in applications such as motor control, process control, and data acquisition systems. It is also used in embedded systems, industrial automation, and robotics.(For reference only)
