Z8018008VSG00TR

Overview

The Z8018008VSG00TR is an enhanced microprocessor based on the Z180 core, manufactured by Zilog. It features an 8-bit data bus width and operates at a maximum clock frequency of 8 MHz. The device integrates 64 kB of SRAM for data storage and utilizes a PLCC-68 package suitable for surface mount technology. It functions with a 5 V supply voltage and includes built-in SCI and UART interfaces. The component supports two timers/counters and is designed for industrial temperature ranges.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 64 kB of static RAM directly onto the chip to reduce external memory requirements.
• Provides full backward compatibility with existing Z80 software and hardware environments.
• Includes integrated serial communication interfaces (SCI and UART) for direct peripheral connectivity.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring legacy Z80 code compatibility
• Embedded applications needing integrated serial communication capabilities
• Cost-sensitive designs utilizing reduced external component counts

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '00TR' against official Zilog documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the operating voltage and temperature range match your system design requirements. Confirm end-of-life status and last-time-buy availability through authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a Z80-compatible processor with integrated memory and serial ports is required. Compare pinout compatibility with standard Z80 devices if replacing existing designs. Consider the PLCC-68 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management during the selection process.
