Z84C0006VEG

Overview

The Z84C0006VEG is a CMOS microprocessor belonging to the Z80 family, manufactured by Zilog. It functions as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) with an 8-bit data bus width and a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz. The device operates on a single 5V supply voltage and supports surface mount installation in a 44-PLCC package. It features an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C and includes UART interface capabilities.

Feature Summary

• CMOS implementation of the Z80 architecture for low power consumption
• Integrated UART serial communication interface
• Industrial grade thermal stability across wide temperature ranges

Applications

• General purpose I/O controller systems
• Embedded computing applications requiring Z80 compatibility
• Serial communication interface modules

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm package integrity upon receipt as moisture sensitivity level requires handling precautions. Review manufacturer discontinuation notices for availability constraints and potential obsolescence management strategies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when legacy Z80 software compatibility is required alongside modern CMOS performance characteristics. Ensure design accommodates the specific 44-PLCC footprint and 5V logic levels. Consider thermal management requirements given the extended industrial temperature rating specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z84C00 series of CMOS microprocessors, representing an evolution of the classic NMOS Z80 CPU. The Z84C0006 variant specifically denotes the 6 MHz clock speed configuration within the broader Z80 ecosystem maintained by Zilog for embedded control applications.
