8155 2048-Bit Static MOS RAM with I/O Ports and Timer PDIP-40
The 8155 2048-Bit Static MOS RAM with I/O Ports and Timer PDIP-40 is a multifunction peripheral device combining 256×8bits of static RAM with three programmable I/O ports (two 8-bit ports and one 6-bit port) and a 14-bit programmable binary counter/timer, designed for direct interfacing to multiplexed microprocessor buses. The device operates from a single +5VDC supply, provides a multiplexed address/data bus for economical pin usage, and is offered in standard PDIP-40 packaging to facilitate prototyping and retrofit applications.
Features
- 2048-bit static MOS RAM organized as 256×8 for program/work RAM and data buffering.
- Three programmable I/O ports (two 8-bit ports + one 6-bit port) for general-purpose digital interfacing.
- Integrated 14-bit programmable binary counter/timer with multiple operating modes for event timing and pulse generation.
- Multiplexed address/data bus with ALE support for simple microprocessor interfacing.
- Single +5VDC supply operation and TTL-compatible control signals for legacy 8-bit systems.
- Standard PDIP-40 package for breadboarding and through-hole assembly.
