Z84C0006FEC

Overview

The Z84C0006FEC is an 8-bit microprocessor IC based on the Z80 core, manufactured by Zilog. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 6MHz and supports a single core architecture with an 8-bit data bus width. The device is housed in a 44-LQFP (10x10) surface-mount package. It functions within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and maintains reliable operation across an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates the Z80 processor core for established 8-bit computing compatibility
• Supports surface-mount installation via a compact 44-lead LQFP package
• Designed for stable performance in demanding industrial environments

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust processing
• Embedded applications utilizing legacy Z80 instruction sets
• Commercial equipment operating in wide temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment against the 44-LQFP specification. Ensure supply voltage stability within the 4.5V to 5.5V range during operation. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements prior to assembly. Validate thermal management capabilities for the specified temperature limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a Z80-compatible processor is required in a surface-mount format. Consider the 6MHz speed limit and 8-bit architecture constraints. Evaluate the 44-LQFP footprint against available PCB space. Assess power supply requirements against the specified voltage range. Verify environmental ratings match the deployment conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z84C00 series of CMOS microprocessors. It shares architectural similarities with other Z80-based devices but offers specific packaging and speed variations. The LQFP package distinguishes it from PLCC or DIP variants within the same family. It serves as a bridge between older through-hole designs and modern surface-mount manufacturing processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include Z84C0006AEG and Z84C0006VEG. These alternatives share the same core functionality and pinout. Verify package type differences, such as PLCC versus LQFP, before substitution. Ensure electrical specifications match the original design requirements.
