Counter/Timer Channels
CTC FEATURES
•
Four independently programmable counter/timer channels (CTC),
each with a readable down-counter and a selectable 16 or 256
prescaler. Down-counters are reloaded automatically at zero count
•
Selectable positive or negative trigger initiates timer operation
•
Three channels have zero count/timeout outputs capable of driving
Darlington transistors
•
NMOS version for high-cost performance solutions
•
CMOS version for the designs requiring low power consumption
•
NMOS Z0843004 - 4 MHz, Z0843006 - 6.17 MHz
•
CMOS Z84C3006 - dc to 6.17 MHz, Z84C3008 dc to 8 MHz,
Z84C3010 - dc to 10 MHz
•
Interfaces directly to the Z80 CPU. Interfaces to the Z80 SIO for baud
rate generation
•
Standard Z80 Family daisy-chain interrupt structure provides fully
vectored, prioritized interrupts without external logic. The CTC may
also be used as an interrupt controller
•
A 6 MHz version supports 6.144 MHz CPU clock operation
CTC General Description
The Z80 CTC is a four-channel counter/timer that can be programmed by
system software for a broad range of counting and timing applications.
These four independently programmable channels satisfy common
