Z84C0008FEC00TR

Overview

The Z84C0008FEC00TR is a microprocessor IC based on the Z80 architecture, manufactured by Zilog. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 8 MHz and features an 8-bit data bus width. The device is housed in a 44-LQFP (10x10) surface-mount package. It requires a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C. This component is classified as a microprocessor within the embedded processor category.

Feature Summary

• Implements the Z80 core architecture for 8-bit processing tasks
• Supports high-speed operation up to 8 MHz clock frequency
• Designed for industrial environments with extended temperature ratings
• Utilizes a compact 44-pin Low-Profile Quad Flat Package

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust processing
• Embedded applications needing Z80 compatibility
• Automotive electronics operating in extreme temperatures
• Legacy system upgrades and maintenance

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors due to end-of-life status. Confirm package integrity upon receipt, as moisture sensitivity level 3 requires proper handling. Check for specific ordering suffixes that may indicate environmental compliance or packaging variations. Ensure design-in documentation matches the exact part number to avoid pinout mismatches.

Selection Notes

Select this component when Z80 software compatibility is mandatory. Consider the 8 MHz speed limit against application timing requirements. Evaluate the 44-LQFP footprint for PCB layout constraints. Compare power consumption specifications against available thermal management solutions for the target enclosure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z84C00 series of CMOS microprocessors. It serves as a drop-in replacement for earlier NMOS Z80 variants while offering lower power consumption. The series is widely used in legacy computing and specialized industrial equipment where established Z80 codebases are maintained.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Z84C00 series variants with compatible pinouts. Verify electrical characteristics match before substitution. Cross-reference with Z80-compatible processors from other manufacturers only if pin-to-pin compatibility is confirmed.
