Z84C3006VEC

Overview

The Z84C3006VEC is a CMOS Clock Timer Controller (CTC) from the Z84C30 series, manufactured by Zilog. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz and features an 8-bit external data bus width. The device is housed in a 44-pin PLCC package with a plastic/epoxy body. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C. Classified under Timers & Support Products, it functions as a dedicated timer IC compatible with Z80-based systems.

Feature Summary

• Integrated CMOS Clock Timer Controller (CTC) functionality
• Maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz
• 8-bit external data bus interface
• Extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C)

Applications

• Timing control for Z80 microprocessor systems
• Clock generation and management in embedded controllers
• Support products for legacy industrial automation equipment

Procurement Notes

This component is listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, and sourcing may require checking secondary distributors or surplus markets. Verify RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) before procurement. Confirm package integrity and pin compatibility during acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a 10 MHz CTC is required for Z80 architecture designs. Ensure the PCB layout supports the 44-PLCC surface mount package. Compare against other Z84C30 variants if different clock speeds or package types are needed. Verify voltage levels match the system's 5V logic requirements.

Part Context

Part of the Z84C30 series of support products designed to complement Z80 microprocessors. It provides essential timing functions such as clock division and interrupt generation. The Z84C3006VEC specifically denotes the 10 MHz speed grade and PLCC packaging variant within this family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Z84C30 series parts like Z84C3006VEG or Z84C3006PEG, depending on package preference (PLCC vs DIP). Cross-reference with Z84C3010VEC for higher speed options. No direct modern equivalents exist; redesign may be necessary for new projects.
