Z84C3008AEG

Overview

The Z84C3008AEG is a CMOS-compatible timer and support product from the Zilog Z80 family, designed for high-speed digital control applications. Operating at a maximum clock frequency of 8 MHz, this component features an 8-bit data bus width and utilizes a 44-pin Quad Flat Package (QFP) with a plastic body. It supports an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +100°C and functions on a standard 5V power supply. The device is classified under timers and support products within embedded processor controllers.

Feature Summary

• 8 MHz maximum operating speed compatible with Z80 architecture
• 44-pin QFP surface-mount package with plastic construction
• Extended industrial temperature range: -40°C to +100°C
• 8-bit data bus width with 5V nominal supply voltage

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interface timing
• Real-time system clock generation for microprocessor systems
• Programmable counter/timer circuits in industrial automation
• Watchdog timer implementations in embedded controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as discontinuation notices may apply. Confirm RoHS compliance details through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure packaging specifications match design requirements for surface-mount assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8 MHz synchronous timer is required for Z80-based systems. The QFP-44 package suits designs needing compact surface-mount solutions. Verify thermal management capabilities for operation within the specified -40°C to +100°C range.

Part Context

Part of the Z84C3008 series within the broader Zilog Z80 ecosystem. Shares architectural compatibility with other Z80-family peripherals while offering specific timer functionality. Distinct from I/O controllers like the Z84C4306 or processors like the Z84C1008 by its dedicated timing role.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Zilog official documentation for direct pin-compatible substitutes. Cross-reference with other Z84C3xxx series variants if different package types are required. No automatic functional equivalents exist outside the Z80 peripheral family.
