Z0853606PSC

Overview

The Z0853606PSC is a peripheral controller manufactured by Zilog, designed for system interface applications. It features a 40-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP) suitable for through-hole mounting. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and has physical dimensions of 52.58 mm in length, 14.22 mm in width, and 3.94 mm in height. This integrated circuit functions as a Z-CIO and CIO parallel I/O unit.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Z-CIO and CIO parallel I/O controller functionality
• 40-pin PDIP package with through-hole installation
• Commercial operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C

Applications

• Parallel I/O expansion in embedded systems
• Peripheral control interfaces for microprocessor-based designs
• Zilog Z80 family system integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PSC' against official Zilog documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Confirm current availability status as legacy components may be discontinued or subject to last-time buy notices. Ensure the procurement source provides authentic manufacturer data sheets rather than generic distributor descriptions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated parallel I/O controller is required for Zilog-based architectures. Compare the 40-pin DIP form factor against surface-mount alternatives like the PLCC variant if board space constraints exist. Verify that the 0°C to +70°C operating range meets the environmental requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Zilog peripheral controller family, which includes variants such as the Z0853606VSG in a 44-PLCC package. The PSC designation specifically indicates the plastic dual in-line package configuration. It serves as a hardware interface solution distinct from general-purpose microcontrollers or serial I/O controllers within the same product portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided reference material. Evaluate other members of the Z0853606 series, such as the VSG variant, for potential functional equivalence if package differences can be accommodated by the design.
