Z84C3008VEG

Overview

The Z84C3008VEG is a CMOS Counter/Timer Circuit (CTC) based on the Z80 core architecture, manufactured by Zilog. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 8 MHz with an 8-bit data bus width and requires a 5 V supply voltage. The device is housed in a 44-pin PLCC package designed for surface mount installation. It supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C. This component functions as a specialized timer and support product within the Z84C30 series.

Feature Summary

• Z80-compatible core architecture
• 8 MHz maximum clock frequency
• 44-pin PLCC surface-mount package
• -40°C to +100°C extended temperature range

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring precise timing
• Embedded applications utilizing Z80-based processors
• Temperature-sensitive electronic environments

Procurement Notes

This component is listed as End-of-Life (EOL) and obsolete. Manufacturers have discontinued production, meaning new units are no longer available through standard distribution channels. Buyers must verify current stock availability with authorized distributors or surplus suppliers. Lead times and minimum order quantities vary significantly among secondary market vendors. Due to the EOL status, long-term supply continuity cannot be guaranteed.

Selection Notes

Engineers should evaluate alternative components due to the discontinuation of the Z84C3008VEG. Compatibility checks are necessary if substituting with other Z84C30 series variants, noting differences in clock speeds or packaging. Verify that replacement options maintain the required 8-bit interface and 5V logic levels. Ensure any substitute supports the specific PLCC-44 footprint or requires PCB redesign.

Part Context

The Z84C3008VEG belongs to the Z84C30 series of Counter/Timer Circuits produced by Zilog. These devices are designed to provide programmable timing and counting functions for microprocessor systems. The 'VEG' suffix typically denotes the specific package type (PLCC), speed grade (8MHz), and extended temperature rating (-40 to +100°C).

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult Zilog's official obsolescence notices or contact manufacturers directly for recommended cross-reference alternatives.
