Z8023016VSC

Specialized Overview

The Z8023016VSC is an Enhanced Serial Communication Controller (ESCC) manufactured by Zilog, Inc. It features dual full-duplex serial channels and supports processing speeds up to 5 Mbps. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It is housed in a 44-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Dual full-duplex communication channels
• Support for asynchronous, monosync, bisync, SDLC/HDLC protocols
• On-chip baud rate generators and digital phase-locked loops

Specialized Applications

• Telecommunication systems
• Local Area Network (LAN) implementations
• Serial data transfer applications

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and temperature rating. Ensure the PLCC-44 package matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm lead-free status if required by environmental regulations.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel high-speed serial communication is required with integrated protocol handling. Compare FIFO depths and DMA capabilities against other SCC families like the Z16C30 or Z85230 based on system bus architecture and throughput requirements.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the ESCC family within the broader ZiLOG Serial Communication Controller portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with the standard SCCs but offers enhanced performance and reduced external logic requirements through integrated clocking and encoding functions.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Z8023010VSC: Same package and pinout, lower maximum speed (10 Mbps vs 16 MHz implied). Z8523016VSC: Similar ESCC features, potentially different internal configuration or timing characteristics.
