• PDIP-40 package with through-hole installation style
• Operates at a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz
• Commercial temperature range from 0°C to +70°C

Applications

• General-purpose timing and counting applications
• Parallel interface expansion in embedded systems
• Industrial control logic requiring dedicated timer resources

Procurement Notes

The Z0803606PSG is listed as an End-of-Life (EOL) product by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, and distributors may not stock new units. Verification of component authenticity and condition is critical when sourcing from secondary markets due to the discontinued status.

Selection Notes

Select the Z0803606PSG only if PDIP-40 through-hole packaging is required for the design. Verify that the 6 MHz clock speed meets system timing requirements. Consider the Z08536 family variants if surface-mount options or different pin configurations are acceptable for the application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Z08536 series of Counter/Timer Circuits (CTC). It serves as a support peripheral for microcontroller systems, providing hardware timers and parallel I/O ports. The 'PSG' suffix typically denotes the PDIP-40 plastic package variant within the Z08536 product line.

Replacement Considerations

As an EOL part, direct substitutes are limited. Review the Z08536 datasheet for compatible family members. Evaluate modern timer ICs or microcontrollers with integrated timer/I/O peripherals for long-term supply stability.
