What the CP82C54-10Z Does in the Assembly
The CP82C54-10Z is a programmable timer IC from Renesas, designed to generate precise timing intervals or frequency outputs under software control. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz, making it suitable for event counting, pulse-width modulation, and baud-rate generation in industrial control and embedded systems. Housed in a 24-DIP through-hole package (0.600-inch body width), it requires a 5V nominal supply rail (4.5V to 5.5V range) and draws 10 mA typical supply current. The commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C) restricts use to indoor, non-extreme environments.
Active Production – No Obsolescence Pressure
ROHS3 compliance confirms it meets current environmental directives. For BOM planning, this part remains orderable through franchised distribution without a mandatory second-source search.
Package and Mounting – Through-Hole Only
The 24-DIP (0.600-inch row spacing) package is a through-hole footprint that mates with standard 0.100-inch pitch sockets or solders directly into plated through-holes. No SMT reflow profile is needed — wave solder or hand-solder only. The 15.24 mm body width requires a DIP-24 socket or PCB layout with 0.600-inch row spacing.
