Z16C3010VSC00TR

Overview

The Z16C3010VSC00TR is a CMOS Universal Serial Controller (USC) manufactured by Zilog. It features two independent full-duplex channels, each equipped with dual baud rate generators and a digital phase-locked loop for clock recovery. The device supports data transfer rates up to 10 Mbps and includes 32-byte FIFOs per receiver and transmitter. It offers a flexible bus interface compatible with 8-bit or 16-bit microprocessors, including the 680X0 and 8086 families. Operating voltage ranges from 4.5V to 5.5V with a supply current of 7mA at 5V. The component is housed in a 68-pin PLCC package and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports multi-protocol operation including asynchronous, synchronous byte-oriented, and bit-oriented formats under program control.
• Provides DMA interfaces with separate request and acknowledge signals for each channel's receiver and transmitter.
• Features a flexible bus interface directly supporting 680X0 and 8086 family microprocessor architectures.

Applications

• Serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversion in multiplexed or non-multiplexed bus systems
• Data communications peripherals requiring high-speed full-duplex transmission
• Systems utilizing DMA for efficient high-volume data transfers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering information to confirm package type and temperature rating. Confirm availability status as distribution listings may indicate end-of-life conditions. Ensure compatibility with existing system bus configurations before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel serial communication with DMA support is required. Verify that the host processor bus timing aligns with the 110 ns cycle time specification. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified commercial temperature limits for this package variant.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z16C30 series of Universal Serial Controllers. It is designed as a high-performance peripheral for managing complex serial data protocols. The VSC suffix typically denotes the 68-pin PLCC package option within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's obsolescence notices for officially confirmed substitute part numbers. Generic cross-references are not verified; only direct manufacturer-approved alternatives should be considered for design continuity.
