Z84C0006PEG

Overview

The Z84C0006PEG is an 8-bit microprocessor based on the Z80 architecture, manufactured by Zilog. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz and utilizes CMOS technology. The device is housed in a 44-lead Low-Profile Quad Flat Package (LQFP) with dimensions of 10x10 mm. It functions within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an I/O voltage of 5.0V. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to +100°C. This component is classified as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and is part of the Z84C00 series.

Feature Summary

• Implements the Z80 instruction set architecture for robust processing capabilities.
• Utilizes CMOS technology for efficient power consumption relative to NMOS predecessors.
• Provides a single-core 8-bit data bus width for standard microcontroller interfacing.

Applications

• Embedded control systems requiring Z80 compatibility.
• Industrial automation controllers operating in extended temperature environments.
• Legacy system maintenance and replacement in existing Z80-based hardware designs.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Check for specific packaging variations such as tape-and-reel versus tube configurations if required for automated placement processes. Ensure storage conditions adhere to humidity sensitivity guidelines to prevent damage before soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a drop-in replacement for NMOS Z80 CPUs is needed with improved power characteristics. Consider the LQFP package constraints regarding PCB space and thermal management. Evaluate the 6 MHz speed against application timing requirements. Compare against other Z84C00 variants if higher clock speeds or different package types are necessary for the specific design constraints.

Part Context

This microprocessor belongs to the Z84C00 series, which represents the CMOS evolution of the classic Z80 CPU family. It maintains binary compatibility with earlier NMOS versions while offering lower power dissipation. The Z84C00 series is widely recognized in industrial and embedded markets for its reliability and extensive software ecosystem support spanning decades of development.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include other Z84C00 series devices such as the Z84C0006PEC or Z84C0006VEG, provided package and temperature ratings match. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 6 MHz operational frequency and 5V logic levels to ensure circuit integrity without modification.
