Z85C3010VSC

Specialized Overview

The Z85C3010VSC is a CMOS Serial Communications Controller (SCC) manufactured by ZiLOG. It features two independent full-duplex channels and operates at a clock frequency of 10 MHz. The device utilizes a PLCC-44 package with a nonmultiplexed bus interface. It supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C and requires a supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V. The component includes one-byte transmit and three-byte receive FIFOs per channel.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Dual full-duplex serial communication channels
• Support for asynchronous, bisync, and SDLC/HDLC protocols
• Integrated baud rate generator and digital phase-locked loop
• Hardware CRC-16 or CRC-CCITT error detection

Specialized Applications

• Serial networking applications
• Computer peripheral interfaces
• Modem control systems

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix VSC confirms the PLCC-44 surface mount package and commercial temperature range before ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older manufacturing runs may differ. Check current availability as this component may be subject to limited stock or end-of-life restrictions depending on the distributor.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select the Z85C3010VSC when a nonmultiplexed bus interface is required for the host microprocessor. Ensure the system design accommodates the PLCC-44 footprint. Compare against the Z85C3010VEC if an extended industrial temperature range is necessary instead of the standard commercial range.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the Z85C30 family of CMOS SCCs. It is functionally compatible with previous NMOS versions like the Z85C30, allowing for pin-compatible upgrades in existing designs. The '10' designation indicates the 10 MHz speed grade within the series.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Z85C3010VEC: Offers identical functionality but supports an extended temperature range (-40°C to +105°C). Z85C3010PSC: Provides the same electrical characteristics in a PDIP-40 through-hole package.
