Z0840006VSC

Overview

The Z0840006VSC is an 8-bit NMOS microprocessor from the Zilog Z-80 family, operating at a clock frequency of 6.17 MHz. It is housed in a 44-pin Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC) package. The device supports standard logic voltage levels with a supply range typically between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. As a central processing unit, it implements the Z-80 instruction set architecture for embedded control applications.

Feature Summary

• Implements the Z-80 instruction set architecture for 8-bit processing
• Operates as a standalone central processing unit within embedded systems
• Utilizes NMOS technology for logic execution

Applications

• Embedded control systems requiring 8-bit processing
• Industrial automation controllers
• Vintage computer system restoration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VSC' against official Zilog documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and voltage specifications. Ensure the PLCC-44 package matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by current manufacturing standards, as original vintage parts may differ from modern equivalents.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit Z-80 compatible processor is required in a surface-mount PLCC-44 form factor. Consider the 6.17 MHz speed limit and NMOS power characteristics relative to CMOS alternatives. Verify that the application environment supports the specific voltage requirements of the original NMOS design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Zilog Z-80 microprocessor family, a widely used 8-bit CPU architecture introduced in the late 1970s. The Z0840006 variant specifically denotes the NMOS version packaged in PLCC format. It serves as a core processing element in legacy and retro-computing hardware designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Z-80 variants in PLCC-44 packages such as the Z0840006PSG or Z0842006 series, provided pin compatibility and electrical specifications align with the original design requirements.
