82C54
CMOS Programmable Interval Timer
DATASHEET
The 82C54 is a high performance CMOS Programmable
Interval Timer manufactured using an advanced 2 micron
CMOS process.
The 82C54 has three independently programmable and
functional 16-bit counters, each capable of handling clock
input frequencies of up to 8MHz (82C54) or 10MHz
(82C54-10) or 12MHz (82C54-12).
The high speed and industry standard configuration of the
82C54 make it compatible with the 80C86, 80C88, and
80C286 CMOS microprocessors along with many other
industry standard processors. Six programmable timer
modes allow the 82C54 to be used as an event counter,
elapsed time indicator, programmable one-shot, and many
other applications. Static CMOS circuit design insures low
power operation.
The advanced CMOS process results in a significant
reduction in power with performance equal to or greater than
existing equivalent products.

Functional Description
General
The 82C54 is a programmable interval timer/counter designed
for use with microcomputer systems. It is a general purpose,
multi-timing element that can be treated as an array of I/O
ports in the system software.
The 82C54 solves one of the most common problems in any
microcomputer system, the generation of accurate time delays
under software control. Instead of setting up timing loops in
software, the programmer configures the 82C54 to match his
requirements and programs one of the counters for the desired
delay. After the desired delay, the 82C54 will interrupt the CPU.
Software overhead is minimal and variable length delays can
easily be accommodated.
Some of the other computer/timer functions common to
microcomputers which can be implemented with the 82C54 are:
Real time clock
Event counter
Digital one-shot
Programmable rate generator
Square wave generator
Binary rate multiplier
Complex waveform generator
Complex motor controller
Data Bus Buffer
This three-state, bi-directional, 8-bit buffer is used to interface
the 82C54 to the system bus (see Figure 1).
Read/Write Logic
The Read/Write Logic accepts inputs from the system bus and
generates control signals for the other functional blocks of the
82C54. A1 and A0 select one of the three counters or the Control
Word Register to be read from/written into. A “low” on the RD
input tells the 82C54 that the CPU is reading one of the counters.
A “low” on the WR input tells the 82C54 that the CPU is writing
either a Control Word or an initial count. Both RD and WR are
qualified by CS; RD and WR are ignored unless the 82C54 has
been selected by holding CS low.
Control Word Register
The Control Word Register (Figure 2) is selected by the
Read/Write Logic when A1, A0 = 11. If the CPU then does a
write operation to the 82C54, the data is stored in the Control
Word Register and is interpreted as a Control Word used to
define the Counter operation.
The Control Word Register can only be written to; status
information is available with the Read-Back Command.
Counter 0, Counter 1, Counter 2
These three functional blocks are identical in operation, so only
a single Counter will be described. The internal block diagram
of a signal counter is shown in Figure 3. The counters are fully
independent. Each Counter may operate in a different Mode.
The Control Word Register is shown in the figure; it is not part
of the Counter itself, but its contents determine how the
Counter operates.
The status register, shown in the figure, when latched, contains
the current contents of the Control Word Register and status of

the output and null count flag. (See detailed explanation of the
Read-Back command.)
The actual counter is labeled CE (for Counting Element). It is a
16-bit presettable synchronous down counter.
OLM and OLL are two 8-bit latches. OL stands for “Output Latch”;
the subscripts M and L for “Most significant byte” and “Least
significant byte”, respectively. Both are normally referred to as one
unit and called just OL. These latches normally “follow” the CE,
but if a suitable Counter Latch Command is sent to the 82C54, the
latches “latch” the present count until read by the CPU and then
return to “following” the CE. One latch at a time is enabled by the
counter’s Control Logic to drive the internal bus. This is how the
16-bit Counter communicates over the 8-bit internal bus. Note that
the CE itself cannot be read; whenever you read the count, it is
the OL that is being read.
Similarly, there are two 8-bit registers called CRM and CRL (for
“Count Register”). Both are normally referred to as one unit and
called just CR. When a new count is written to the Counter, the
count is stored in the CR and later transferred to the CE. The
Control Logic allows one register at a time to be loaded from the
internal bus. Both bytes are transferred to the CE simultaneously.
CRM and CRL are cleared when the Counter is programmed for
one byte counts (either most significant byte only or least
significant byte only) the other byte will be zero. Note that the CE
cannot be written into; whenever a count is written, it is written into
the CR.
The Control Logic is also shown in the diagram. CLK n, GATE
n, and OUT n are all connected to the outside world through
the Control Logic.
82C54 System Interface
The 82C54 is treated by the system software as an array of
peripheral I/O ports; three are counters and the fourth is a
control register for MODE programming.
Basically, the select inputs A0, A1 connect to the A0, A1
address bus signals of the CPU. The CS can be derived
directly from the address bus using a linear select method or it
can be connected to the output of a decoder.
Operational Description
General
After power-up, the state of the 82C54 is undefined. The Mode,
count value, and output of all Counters are undefined.
How each Counter operates is determined when it is
programmed. Each Counter must be programmed before it can
be used. Unused counters need not be programmed.
Programming the 82C54
Counters are programmed by writing a Control Word and then
an initial count.
All Control Words are written into the Control Word Register,
which is selected when A1, A0 = 11. The Control Word
specifies which Counter is being programmed.
By contrast, initial counts are written into the Counters, not the
Control Word Register. The A1, A0 inputs are used to select
the Counter to be written into. The format of the initial count is
determined by the Control Word used.
Write Operations
The programming procedure for the 82C54 is very flexible.
Only two conventions need to be remembered:
1. For Each Counter, the Control Word must be written before
the initial count is written.
2. The initial count must follow the count format specified in the
Control Word (least significant byte only, most significant byte
only, or least significant byte and then most significant byte).

Since the Control Word Register and the three Counters have
separate addresses (selected by the A1, A0 inputs), and each
Control Word specifies the Counter it applies to (SC0, SC1 bits),
no special instruction sequence is required. Any programming
sequence that follows the conventions above is acceptable.

A new initial count may be written to a Counter at any time
without affecting the Counter’s programmed Mode in any way.
Counting will be affected as described in the Mode definitions.
The new count must follow the programmed count format.
If a Counter is programmed to read/write two-byte counts, the
following precaution applies. A program must not transfer
control between writing the first and second byte to another
routine which also writes into that same Counter. Otherwise,
the Counter will be loaded with an incorrect count.
READ OPERATIONS
It is often desirable to read the value of a Counter without
disturbing the count in progress. This is easily done in the
82C54.
There are three possible methods for reading the Counters.
The first is through the Read-Back command, which is
explained later. The second is a simple read operation of the
Counter, which is selected with the A1, A0 inputs. The only
requirement is that the CLK input of the selected Counter must
be inhibited by using either the GATE input or external logic.
Otherwise, the count may be in process of changing when it is
read, giving an undefined result.
COUNTER LATCH COMMAND
The other method for reading the Counters involves a special
software command called the “Counter Latch Command”. Like
a Control Word, this command is written to the Control Word
Register, which is selected when A1, A0 = 11. Also, like a
Control Word, the SC0, SC1 bits select one of the three
Counters, but two other bits, D5 and D4, distinguish this
command from a Control Word.
.
The selected Counter’s output latch (OL) latches the count when
the Counter Latch Command is received. This count is held in
the latch until it is read by the CPU (or until the Counter is
reprogrammed). The count is then unlatched automatically and
the OL returns to “following” the counting element (CE). This
allows reading the contents of the Counters “on the fly” without
affecting counting in progress. Multiple Counter Latch
Commands may be used to latch more than one Counter. Each
latched Counter’s OL holds its count until read. Counter Latch
Commands do not affect the programmed Mode of the Counter
in any way.
If a Counter is latched and then, some time later, latched again
before the count is read, the second Counter Latch Command
is ignored. The count read will be the count at the time the first
Counter Latch Command was issued.
With either method, the count must be read according to the
programmed format; specifically, if the Counter is programmed
for two byte counts, two bytes must be read. The two bytes do
not have to be read one right after the other; read or write or
programming operations of other Counters may be inserted
between them.
Another feature of the 82C54 is that reads and writes of the
same Counter may be interleaved; for example, if the Counter
is programmed for two byte counts, the following sequence is
valid.
1. Read least significant byte.
2. Write new least significant byte.
3. Read most significant byte.
4. Write new most significant byte.
If a counter is programmed to read or write two-byte counts,
the following precaution applies: A program MUST NOT
transfer control between reading the first and second byte to
another routine which also reads from that same Counter.
Otherwise, an incorrect count will be read.
READ-BACK COMMAND
The read-back command allows the user to check the count
value, programmed Mode, and current state of the OUT pin
and Null Count flag of the selected counter(s).
The command is written into the Control Word Register and
has the format shown in Figure 5. The command applies to the
POSSIBLE PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
A1 A0
Control Word - Counter 1 1 1
Control Word - Counter 0 1 1
LSB of Count - Counter 1 0 1
Control Word - Counter 2 1 1

MSB of Count - Counter 1 0 1
LSB of Count - Counter 2 1 0
MSB of Count - Counter 0 0 0

NOTE: In all four examples, all counters are programmed to
Read/Write two-byte counts. These are only four of many
programming sequences.

counters selected by setting their corresponding bits D3, D2,
D1 = 1.
The read-back command may be used to latch multiple
counter output latches (OL) by setting the COUNT bit D5 = 0
and selecting the desired counter(s). This signal command is
functionally equivalent to several counter latch commands, one
for each counter latched. Each counter’s latched count is held
until it is read (or the counter is reprogrammed). That counter is
automatically unlatched when read, but other counters remain
latched until they are read. If multiple count read-back
commands are issued to the same counter without reading the
count, all but the first are ignored; i.e., the count which will be
read is the count at the time the first read-back command was
issued.
The read-back command may also be used to latch status
information of selected counter(s) by setting STATUS bit D4 =
0. Status must be latched to be read; status of a counter is
accessed by a read from that counter.
The counter status format is shown in Figure 6. Bits D5 through
D0 contain the counter’s programmed Mode exactly as written
in the last Mode Control Word. OUTPUT bit D7 contains the
current state of the OUT pin. This allows the user to monitor
the counter’s output via software, possibly eliminating some
hardware from a system.
NULL COUNT bit D6 indicates when the last count written to the
counter register (CR) has been loaded into the counting element
(CE). The exact time this happens depends on the Mode of the
counter and is described in the Mode Definitions, but until the
counter is loaded into the counting element (CE), it can’t be read
from the counter. If the count is latched or read before this time,
the count value will not reflect the new count just written. The
operation of Null Count is shown below.
THIS ACTION: CAUSES:
A. Write to the control word register:(1) . . . . Null Count = 1
B. Write to the count register (CR):(2) . . . . . Null Count = 1
C. New count is loaded into CE (CR - CE) . . Null Count = 0
1. Only the counter specified by the control word will have its
null count set to 1. Null count bits of other counters are
unaffected.
2. If the counter is programmed for two-byte counts (least
significant byte then most significant byte) null count goes
to 1 when the second byte is written.
If multiple status latch operations of the counter(s) are
performed without reading the status, all but the first are ignored;
i.e., the status that will be read is the status of the counter at the
time the first status read-back command was issued.
Both count and status of the selected counter(s) may be
latched simultaneously by setting both COUNT and STATUS
bits D5, D4 = 0. This is functionally the same as issuing two
separate read-back commands at once, and the above
discussions apply here also. Specifically, if multiple count
and/or status read-back commands are issued to the same
counter(s) without any intervening reads, all but the first are
ignored. This is illustrated in Figure 7.
If both count and status of a counter are latched, the first read
operation of that counter will return latched status, regardless
of which was latched first. The next one or two reads
(depending on whether the counter is programmed for one or
two type counts) return latched count. Subsequent reads
return unlatched count.

MODE DEFINITIONS
The following are defined for use in describing the operation of
the 82C54.
CLK PULSE - A rising edge, then a falling edge, in that order,
of a Counter’s CLK input.
TRIGGER - A rising edge of a Counter’s Gate input.
COUNTER LOADING - The transfer of a count from the CR to
the CE (See “Functional Description”)
MODE 0: INTERRUPT ON TERMINAL COUNT
Mode 0 is typically used for event counting. After the Control
Word is written, OUT is initially low, and will remain low until
the Counter reaches zero. OUT then goes high and remains
high until a new count or a new Mode 0 Control Word is written
to the Counter.
GATE = 1 enables counting; GATE = 0 disables counting.
GATE has no effect on OUT.
After the Control Word and initial count are written to a
Counter, the initial count will be loaded on the next CLK pulse.
This CLK pulse does not decrement the count, so for an initial
count of N, OUT does not go high until N + 1 CLK pulses after
the initial count is written.
If a new count is written to the Counter it will be loaded on the
next CLK pulse and counting will continue from the new count.
If a two-byte count is written, the following happens:
1. Writing the first byte disables counting. Out is set low
immediately (no clock pulse required).
2. Writing the second byte allows the new count to be loaded
on the next CLK pulse.
This allows the counting sequence to be synchronized by
software. Again OUT does not go high until N + 1 CLK pulses
after the new count of N is written.

If an initial count is written while GATE = 0, it will still be loaded
on the next CLK pulse. When GATE goes high, OUT will go
high N CLK pulses later; no CLK pulse is needed to load the
counter as this has already been done.
NOTES: The following conventions apply to all mode timing diagrams.
1. Counters are programmed for binary (not BCD) counting and for
reading/writing least significant byte (LSB) only.
2. The counter is always selected (CS always low).
3. CW stands for “Control Word”; CW = 10 means a control word of 10,
Hex is written to the counter.
4. LSB stands for Least significant “byte” of count.
5. Numbers below diagrams are count values. The lower number is
the least significant byte. The upper number is the most significant
byte. Since the counter is programmed to read/write LSB only, the
most significant byte cannot be read.
6. N stands for an undefined count.
7. Vertical lines show transitions between count values.
MODE 1: HARDWARE RETRIGGERABLE ONE-SHOT
OUT will be initially high. OUT will go low on the CLK pulse
following a trigger to begin the one-shot pulse, and will remain
low until the Counter reaches zero. OUT will then go high and
remain high until the CLK pulse after the next trigger.
After writing the Control Word and initial count, the Counter is
armed. A trigger results in loading the Counter and setting OUT
low on the next CLK pulse, thus starting the one-shot pulse N
CLK cycles in duration. The one-shot is retriggerable, hence
OUT will remain low for N CLK pulses after any trigger. The one-
shot pulse can be repeated without rewriting the same count into
the counter. GATE has no effect on OUT.
If a new count is written to the Counter during a one-shot
pulse, the current one-shot is not affected unless the Counter
is retriggerable. In that case, the Counter is loaded with the
new count and the one-shot pulse continues until the new
count expires.

MODE 2: RATE GENERATOR
This Mode functions like a divide-by-N counter. It is typically
used to generate a Real Time Clock Interrupt. OUT will initially
be high. When the initial count has decremented to 1, OUT
goes low for one CLK pulse. OUT then goes high again, the
Counter reloads the initial count and the process is repeated.
Mode 2 is periodic; the same sequence is repeated indefinitely.
For an initial count of N, the sequence repeats every N CLK
cycles.
GATE = 1 enables counting; GATE = 0 disables counting. If
GATE goes low during an output pulse, OUT is set high
immediately. A trigger reloads the Counter with the initial count
on the next CLK pulse; OUT goes low N CLK pulses after the
trigger. Thus the GATE input can be used to synchronize the
Counter.
After writing a Control Word and initial count, the Counter will
be loaded on the next CLK pulse. OUT goes low N CLK pulses
after the initial count is written. This allows the Counter to be
synchronized by software also.
Writing a new count while counting does not affect the current
counting sequence. If a trigger is received after writing a new
count but before the end of the current period, the Counter will be
loaded with the new count on the next CLK pulse and counting
will continue from the end of the current counting cycle.
MODE 3: SQUARE WAVE MODE
Mode 3 is typically used for Baud rate generation. Mode 3 is
similar to Mode 2 except for the duty cycle of OUT. OUT will
initially be high. When half the initial count has expired, OUT
goes low for the remainder of the count. Mode 3 is periodic; the
sequence above is repeated indefinitely. An initial count of N
results in a square wave with a period of N CLK cycles.
GATE = 1 enables counting; GATE = 0 disables counting. If
GATE goes low while OUT is low, OUT is set high immediately;
no CLK pulse is required. A trigger reloads the Counter with
the initial count on the next CLK pulse. Thus the GATE input
can be used to synchronize the Counter.
After writing a Control Word and initial count, the Counter will
be loaded on the next CLK pulse. This allows the Counter to be
synchronized by software also.
Writing a new count while counting does not affect the current
counting sequence. If a trigger is received after writing a new
count but before the end of the current half-cycle of the square
wave, the Counter will be loaded with the new count on the
next CLK pulse and counting will continue from the new count.
Otherwise, the new count will be loaded at the end of the
current half-cycle.

Jul 15, 2020
Mode 3 Is Implemented As Follows
EVEN COUNTS - OUT is initially high. The initial count is
loaded on one CLK pulse and then is decremented by two on
succeeding CLK pulses. When the count expires, OUT
changes value and the Counter is reloaded with the initial
count. The above process is repeated indefinitely.
ODD COUNTS - OUT is initially high. The initial count is loaded
on one CLK pulse, decremented by one on the next CLK pulse,
and then decremented by two on succeeding CLK pulses. When
the count expires, OUT goes low and the Counter is reloaded with
the initial count. The count is decremented by three on the next
CLK pulse, and then by two on succeeding CLK pulses. When the
count expires, OUT goes high again and the Counter is reloaded
with the initial count. The above process is repeated indefinitely.
So for odd counts, OUT will be high for (N + 1)/2 counts and low
for (N - 1)/2 counts.
MODE 4: SOFTWARE TRIGGERED MODE
OUT will be initially high. When the initial count expires, OUT
will go low for one CLK pulse then go high again. The counting
sequence is “Triggered” by writing the initial count.
GATE = 1 enables counting; GATE = 0 disables counting.
GATE has no effect on OUT.
After writing a Control Word and initial count, the Counter will be
loaded on the next CLK pulse. This CLK pulse does not
decrement the count, so for an initial count of N, OUT does not
strobe low until N + 1 CLK pulses after the initial count is written.
If a new count is written during counting, it will be loaded on the
next CLK pulse and counting will continue from the new count.
If a two-byte count is written, the following happens:
1. Writing the first byte has no effect on counting.
2. Writing the second byte allows the new count to be loaded
on the next CLK pulse.
This allows the sequence to be “retriggered” by software. OUT
strobes low N + 1 CLK pulses after the new count of N is written.
MODE 5: HARDWARE TRIGGERED STROBE
(RETRIGGERABLE)
OUT will initially be high. Counting is triggered by a rising edge
of GATE. When the initial count has expired, OUT will go low
for one CLK pulse and then go high again.
After writing the Control Word and initial count, the counter will
not be loaded until the CLK pulse after a trigger. This CLK
pulse does not decrement the count, so for an initial count of N,
OUT does not strobe low until N + 1 CLK pulses after trigger.
A trigger results in the Counter being loaded with the initial
count on the next CLK pulse. The counting sequence is
triggerable. OUT will not strobe low for N + 1 CLK pulses after
any trigger GATE has no effect on OUT.
If a new count is written during counting, the current counting
sequence will not be affected. If a trigger occurs after the new
count is written but before the current count expires, the

Counter will be loaded with new count on the next CLK pulse
and counting will continue from there.
Operation Common To All Modes
Programming
When a Control Word is written to a Counter, all Control Logic,
is immediately reset and OUT goes to a known initial state; no
CLK pulses are required for this.
Gate
The GATE input is always sampled on the rising edge of CLK.
In Modes 0, 2, 3 and 4 the GATE input is level sensitive, and
logic level is sampled on the rising edge of CLK. In modes 1, 2,
3 and 5 the GATE input is rising-edge sensitive. In these
Modes, a rising edge of Gate (trigger) sets an edge-sensitive
flip-flop in the Counter. This flip-flop is then sampled on the
next rising edge of CLK. The flip-flop is reset immediately after
it is sampled. In this way, a trigger will be detected no matter
when it occurs - a high logic level does not have to be
maintained until the next rising edge of CLK. Note that in
Modes 2 and 3, the GATE input is both edge-and level-
sensitive.
Counter
New counts are loaded and Counters are decremented on the
falling edge of CLK.
The largest possible initial count is 0; this is equivalent to 216
for binary counting and 104 for BCD counting.
The counter does not stop when it reaches zero. In Modes 0, 1,
4, and 5 the Counter “wraps around” to the highest count,
either FFFF hex for binary counting or 9999 for BCD counting,
and continues counting. Modes 2 and 3 are periodic; the
Counter reloads itself with the initial count and continues
counting from there.

NOTES:
1. Metallized castellations shall be connected to plane 1 terminals
and extend toward plane 2 across at least two layers of ceramic
or completely across all of the ceramic layers to make electrical
connection with the optional plane 2 terminals.
2. Unless otherwise specified, a minimum clearance of 0.015 inch
(0.38mm) shall be maintained between all metallized features
(e.g., lid, castellations, terminals, thermal pads, etc.)
3. Symbol “N” is the maximum number of terminals. Symbols “ND”
and “NE” are the number of terminals along the sides of length
“D” and “E”, respectively.
4. The required plane 1 terminals and optional plane 2 terminals (if
used) shall be electrically connected.
5. The corner shape (square, notch, radius, etc.) may vary at the
manufacturer’s option, from that shown on the drawing.
6. Chip carriers shall be constructed of a minimum of two ceramic
layers.
7. Dimension “A” controls the overall package thickness. The maxi-
mum “A” dimension is package height before being solder dipped.
8. Dimensioning and tolerancing per ANSI Y14.5M-1982.
9. Controlling dimension: INCH.

NOTES:
1. Index area: A notch or a pin one identification mark shall be locat-
ed adjacent to pin one and shall be located within the shaded
area shown. The manufacturer’s identification shall not be used
as a pin one identification mark.
2. The maximum limits of lead dimensions b and c or M shall be
measured at the centroid of the finished lead surfaces, when
solder dip or tin plate lead finish is applied.
3. Dimensions b1 and c1 apply to lead base metal only. Dimension
M applies to lead plating and finish thickness.
4. Corner leads (1, N, N/2, and N/2+1) may be configured with a
partial lead paddle. For this configuration dimension b3 replaces
dimension b2.
5. This dimension allows for off-center lid, meniscus, and glass
overrun.
6. Dimension Q shall be measured from the seating plane to the
base plane.
7. Measure dimension S1 at all four corners.
8. N is the maximum number of terminal positions.
9. Dimensioning and tolerancing per ANSI Y14.5M - 1982.
