Z84C3010FEG

Overview

The Z84C3010FEG is a CMOS Single Chip Timer (CTC) manufactured by Zilog, operating at a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz. It is part of the Z84C30 series and designed for use with Z80-based microprocessor systems. The device features four independent timer/counter channels and supports various counting modes. It is housed in a PLCC-44 surface-mount package and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The component requires a single 5V power supply and includes internal registers for configuration.

Procurement Notes

Verify end-of-life status before procurement as this component may be discontinued. Confirm package integrity and moisture sensitivity handling requirements upon receipt. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to ensure compatibility with existing design specifications. Check for available obsolescence notices or last-time buy options from authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select the Z84C3010FEG when four independent timers are required in a Z80-compatible system. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify that the 10 MHz maximum clock speed meets the system timing requirements. Consider the PLCC-44 package constraints for PCB layout and soldering processes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Z84C30 series of CMOS Single Chip Timers. It complements other Zilog microprocessors like the Z80 and Z8000 families. Similar parts in the series may offer different pin counts or clock speeds but share the same functional architecture for timer/counter operations.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Z84C30 series. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if considering alternative packages. Review electrical parameters to ensure equivalent performance in timing applications.
