Z8018006VSC00TR

Overview

The Z8018006VSC is an 8-bit microprocessor unit from the Z180 family, operating at a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz. It features a single core with an 8-bit data bus width and utilizes SRAM for on-chip storage. The device supports a 5 V operating voltage and includes two UARTs, two DMA channels, and two programmable reload timers. It is housed in a 68-pin PLCC package designed for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Provides full backward compatibility with existing Zilog Z80 devices while incorporating extended instructions.
• Integrates system functions including DMA controllers, UARTs, timer channels, wait-state generators, and an interrupt controller on-chip.
• Supports expanded memory addressing up to 1 MB through an integrated Memory Management Unit (MMU).
• Includes asynchronous serial communication interfaces (ASCI) with programmable baud rate generators and modem control signals.

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring reduced component count and system costs.
• Industrial control applications utilizing on-chip I/O resources.
• Legacy Z80-based system upgrades or replacements.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VSC' against official documentation to confirm the 68-pin PLCC package and commercial temperature range specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical records may vary. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this part number variant before procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a Z80-compatible processor with integrated peripherals is required. Consider the 6 MHz speed limit and 68-pin PLCC form factor for board layout constraints. Evaluate the need for the specific on-chip SRAM size and DMA capabilities relative to system memory requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z80180 series, which combines a high-performance CPU core with system and I/O resources. The series offers object-code compatibility with the Z80 CPU while providing additional features like an MMU and multiple serial interfaces for versatile embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with any alternative Z180 family members based on pinout and instruction set extensions.
