Additional Details

The TMP82C55AF-2 operates from a single 5V power supply and is fully TTL compatible. The device is programmed through an 8-bit data bus and a set of control signals, allowing for easy configuration of the I/O ports. The operating temperature range is typically from 0°C to 70°C. The device is usually packaged in a 40-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package). Each of the three ports (A, B, and C) can be configured independently as either an input or an output port. Port C also offers the ability to set or reset individual bits, providing additional flexibility for control applications.
