The 81C55 has 2k-bit static RAM (256 bytes) with parallel I/O ports and a timer. It uses silicon gate CMOS technology and consumes a standby current of 100 microamperes, maximum, while the chip is not selected. Featuring a maximum access time of 400 ns, the 81C55 can be used in an 80C85 system without using wait states.
The parallel I/O consists of two 8-bit ports and one 6-bit port (both general purpose). The 81C55 also contains a 14-bit programmable counter/timer which may be used for sequence-wave generation or terminal count-pulsing.
