Z16C3516VSC

Specialized Overview

The Z16C3516VSC is a CMOS Integrated Serial Communications Controller (ISCC) from Zilog, operating at a maximum clock frequency of 16 MHz. It features a 68-pin LCC package and supports multiple communication protocols including ASYNC, SYNC BYTE, HDLC, SDLC, BISYNC, and EXT SYNC. The device utilizes NRZ, NRZI, Bi-Phase Mark (FM1), Bi-Phase Space (FM0), and Bi-Phase Level (Manchester) encoding methods. It provides four DMA channels and supports 16-bit external data bus width with 16-bit address bus width.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Supports multiple serial communication protocols including HDLC, SDLC, and BISYNC
• Offers flexible data encoding modes such as Manchester and FM1/FM0
• Integrates four dedicated DMA channels for efficient data transfer

Specialized Applications

• Serial communication interface design

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VSC' against official Zilog documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with 5V supply requirements (4.75V to 5.25V). Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in related datasheets. Confirm pinout alignment with 68-LCC (J-Lead) specifications before integration.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed serial communication is required with protocol flexibility. The 16 MHz operation suits applications needing moderate throughput without complex microcontroller overhead. Consider the 68-pin package size for board layout constraints. Verify that the supported encoding modes match the target communication standard.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to Zilog's family of Serial Communication Controllers, designed for embedded systems requiring robust serial data handling. It serves as a specialized interface IC, reducing CPU load by handling protocol-specific tasks independently. The ISCC architecture allows for direct connection to various serial devices and modems.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Consult Zilog official documentation for cross-reference information. No public substitute part numbers are confirmed in available sources. Verify functional equivalence if considering alternatives from other manufacturers.
