Z84C1506FEC

Overview

The Z84C1506FEC is an Intelligent Peripheral Controller (IPC) based on the Z80 microprocessor core, manufactured by Zilog. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz and supports an 8-bit data bus width. The device is housed in a 100-pin Quad Flat Package (QFP) with a 14x14 mm body size. It functions as a system-on-chip solution integrating CPU, memory controllers, and I/O interfaces for embedded applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Z80 CPU core with peripheral controller capabilities
• Supports direct memory access and interrupt handling
• Includes built-in serial communication interfaces

Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Embedded instrumentation
• Communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm package integrity and moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly. Review official datasheets for pin compatibility and electrical specifications before integration into new designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a Z80-compatible architecture with integrated peripherals is required. Ensure design compatibility with 5V logic levels and 6 MHz operational limits. Consider available development tools and legacy support for Z80-based software ecosystems.

Part Context

Part of the Z84C15 series intelligent peripheral controllers designed for high-performance embedded applications. Combines processing power with peripheral management in a single IC, reducing board space and complexity compared to discrete solutions.

Replacement Considerations

No officially confirmed substitute part numbers are publicly documented. Evaluate Z84C15xx variants within the same family for potential pin-to-pin compatibility after verifying specific feature differences.
