ZiLOG Z80 CPU Peripherals User Manual
This manual provides a complete description of the Z80 CPU peripheral family, covering counter/timer channels, direct memory access, serial I/O, parallel I/O, and related control logic. It includes architecture overviews, register descriptions, programming modes, and timing diagrams for each peripheral block.
Detailed sections explain interrupt daisy‑chain operation, RETI handling, and nested interrupt servicing, as well as pin assignments for various PLCC packages. The document serves engineers and developers who need to integrate or program Z80 peripheral chips in their designs.

What does the OUTD instruction do?
OUTD transfers a byte from the memory location pointed to by HL to an I/O port selected by register C, then decrements B and HL.
How many T‑states does the OTDR instruction take at 4 MHz?
At 4 MHz, OTDR requires 5.25 T‑states per execution when B ≠ 0, and 4 T‑states when B = 0.
