Z84C3006FEG

Overview

The Z84C3006FEG is a CMOS Counter/Timer Circuit (CTC) component manufactured by Zilog, belonging to the Z84C30 series. It operates at a clock frequency of 6 MHz and features four independent timer channels. The device is designed for use in systems requiring precise timing control and event counting. It supports standard Z80-compatible interfaces and is housed in a PLCC-44 package. The unit weight is approximately 2.387 g.

Feature Summary

• Four independent programmable timer/counters
• CMOS technology with 6 MHz maximum clock speed
• PLCC-44 surface mount package
• Compatible with Z80-based system architectures

Applications

• Real-time clock generation
• Serial communication baud rate generation
• Event counting applications
• Pulse width modulation control

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as the component may be discontinued or have limited stock. Confirm RoHS compliance details through official documentation. Check for moisture sensitivity levels if handling requires specific storage conditions. Ensure the PLCC-44 footprint matches the target PCB design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when four timer channels are required within a Z80-compatible system. Compare against Z84C3006PEG for DIP packaging alternatives. Consider Z84C3008 variants for higher clock speeds if performance requirements exceed 6 MHz. Verify voltage supply ranges match the system's 5V logic levels.

Part Context

Part of the Z84C30 family of CMOS CTCs from Zilog. Related models include Z84C3006PEG (DIP-28), Z84C3006VEG (PLCC-44), and Z84C3008FEC (8 MHz). These components serve similar timing functions across different package types and speeds.

Replacement Considerations

Z84C3006VEG offers identical electrical specifications in a PLCC-44 package. Z84C3006PEG provides the same functionality in a DIP-28 package for through-hole applications.
