Z84C2006PEC

Specialized Overview

The Z84C2006PEC is a CMOS Serial I/O Controller manufactured by Zilog, Inc. It features two independent serial channels capable of asynchronous and synchronous data transmission with a maximum bit rate of 0.3125 MBps. The device supports multiple communication protocols including HDLC, SDLC, X.25, BISYNC, and extended synchronous modes. It utilizes an 8-bit external data bus and an 8-bit address bus for system integration. The component is housed in a 44-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Dual-channel serial interface architecture supporting simultaneous asynchronous and synchronous operations
• Integrated protocol handling for HDLC, SDLC, X.25, and BISYNC standards
• CMOS technology ensuring low power consumption and compatibility with standard logic families

Specialized Applications

• Serial communication interfaces in industrial control systems
• Data acquisition modules requiring high-speed serial I/O
• Embedded controller systems utilizing HDLC or SDLC protocols

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PEC' against official Zilog documentation to confirm the plastic leaded chip carrier package variant and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing 8-bit bus architectures and voltage levels before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with current manufacturer listings to confirm availability status and revision history.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel serial connectivity with hardware protocol support is required. Compare performance metrics against alternative serial controllers regarding clock speed and protocol flexibility. Evaluate the PLCC package constraints against PCB layout requirements. Confirm that the 0.3125 MBps throughput meets the application's data rate specifications.

Specialized Part Context

This component belongs to the Z84C20 series of serial I/O controllers from Zilog. These devices were designed to offload serial communication tasks from the main microprocessor. The Z84C2006PEC represents a specific pinout and packaging configuration within this family, distinct from ceramic or surface-mount variants.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Consult Zilog official documentation for direct cross-references. Potential substitutes may include other Z84C20 series variants with compatible pinouts or equivalent serial controllers from other manufacturers offering similar protocol support and interface speeds.
