Z84C3010PEC

Overview

The Z84C3010PEC is a CMOS Counter/Timer Circuit (CTC) manufactured by Zilog, operating at a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz. It features an 8-bit external data bus and is housed in a 28-pin Ceramic Dual In-Line Package (CDIP). The device supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +105°C and requires a single 5V power supply. As a specialized timer component within the Z84C30 series, it provides programmable timing functions for embedded systems.

Feature Summary

• CMOS technology with 10 MHz maximum clock frequency
• 28-pin CDIP package for through-hole mounting
• Industrial temperature range: -40°C to +105°C
• Single 5V power supply operation

Applications

• Programmable timing control in embedded systems
• Clock generation for microprocessor-based designs
• Interval measurement and event counting

Procurement Notes

The Z84C3010PEC is listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Distribution availability is restricted, and verification of current stock status or alternative sourcing channels is required before procurement planning. Compliance documentation should be reviewed due to age.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated hardware timer is needed for Z80-compatible systems requiring 10 MHz operation. Ensure the design accommodates the 28-pin CDIP footprint and industrial temperature specifications. Verify that the application does not require surface-mount packaging, as this specific suffix denotes the ceramic DIP variant.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z84C30 series of Counter/Timer Circuits designed to complement Zilog's Z80 microprocessor family. It serves as a peripheral chip providing precise timing and counting capabilities, distinct from the main CPU or I/O controllers like the Z84C4110.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Due to the EOL status, engineering change orders may be necessary to adopt modern equivalents or pin-compatible alternatives.
