Z84C0006PEC

Overview

The Z84C0006PEC is a CMOS Central Processing Unit based on the Z80 architecture, manufactured by Zilog. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz and features an 8-bit data bus width. The device is housed in a 40-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP). It functions within a supply voltage range of 0 V to 5 V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Implements the Z80 instruction set architecture for backward compatibility with NMOS variants.
• Provides high-speed processing capabilities through CMOS technology integration.
• Supports standard parallel I/O operations via dedicated address and data buses.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust CPU performance.
• Embedded applications utilizing legacy Z80 software environments.
• General-purpose microprocessor designs in consumer electronics.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against manufacturer specifications due to potential availability from secondary markets. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment prior to installation. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations for the specific manufacturing batch. Review datasheet revisions for any functional updates or errata before finalizing design implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 MHz processing speed is sufficient for the target application. Choose the PDIP-40 package for through-hole mounting requirements. Consider the industrial temperature rating for operation in harsh environments. Verify that the 5V logic levels match the system's power supply and I/O standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z84C00 series of CMOS Z80 CPUs. It serves as a direct replacement for the older NMOS Z8400 devices while offering lower power consumption. The series includes various speed grades and package options to support diverse embedded processor needs across multiple industries.

Replacement Considerations

The Z84C0006PEC is functionally compatible with the Z8400 series. Other speed variants within the Z84C00 family may serve as alternatives if higher clock frequencies are required, provided the PCB layout supports the increased signal speeds.
