Z8018008VSC00TR

Overview

The Z8018008VSC is an 8-bit microprocessor unit based on the Z80 architecture, operating at a maximum clock frequency of 8 MHz. It features a single core with an 8-bit data bus width and utilizes a 68-pin PLCC package for surface mount installation. The device operates within a voltage range of 5 V and supports an industrial temperature range from 0°C to +70°C. Internal resources include 64 kB of SRAM, two DMA channels, two UARTs, and two programmable timers.

Feature Summary

• Provides full backward compatibility with existing Zilog Z80 devices while incorporating extended instructions.
• Integrates system functions including DMA controllers, UARTs, and timer channels to reduce external component requirements.
• Includes an on-chip oscillator and wait-state generators for simplified system design.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring embedded processing
• Communication equipment utilizing integrated UART interfaces
• Embedded applications needing direct memory access capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VSC' corresponds to the 68-pin PLCC package and commercial temperature range during sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical records indicate variations. Ensure the component meets moisture sensitivity level requirements for surface mount assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when a surface-mount PLCC package is required instead of DIP or QFP options. Consider the 8 MHz speed rating against system timing constraints. Evaluate the 64 kB internal SRAM capacity against application memory needs before choosing alternative family members.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Z80180 series of enhanced microprocessors. It shares architectural similarities with other variants in the family but differs in packaging and clock speed specifications. The Z80180 series is designed to replace legacy Z80 implementations with integrated peripheral support.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics carefully if considering cross-references from other manufacturers.
