Z87L0116ASC1937

Overview

The Z87L0116ASC1937 is a dedicated phone controller integrated circuit manufactured by Zilog. It operates within the 900MHz frequency band and utilizes Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology for radio frequency communication. The component is housed in a 144-pin Very Thin Quad Flat Package (VQFP) with dimensions of 20x20 mm. This specific part number indicates a lead-containing composition, rendering it non-compliant with RoHS standards. The device is categorized under RF misc ICs and modules.

Feature Summary

• Integrates FHSS phone controller functionality for wireless communication systems
• Operates at a 900MHz carrier frequency
• Utilizes a 144-VQFP surface-mount package

Applications

• Wireless telephone base stations
• FHSS communication system controllers
• 900MHz RF module integration

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to obsolete status. Confirm lead content compliance requirements as the part is RoHS non-compliant. Check for moisture sensitivity level specifications during storage and handling procedures. Ensure replacement strategies account for the discontinued nature of this specific Zilog product line.

Selection Notes

Select this component only when legacy compatibility with existing 900MHz FHSS architectures is required. Evaluate the 144-VQFP footprint constraints against current PCB design layouts. Consider the implications of using lead-containing materials for final assembly processes. Assess availability of equivalent modern alternatives if RoHS compliance is mandatory for the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Zilog Z87 series of RF control chips designed for cordless telephone applications. It represents an earlier generation of FHSS technology before widespread adoption of digital DECT standards. The Z87L0116ASC1937 variant specifically denotes the leaded package option within the broader family of 900MHz phone controllers produced by Zilog.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. The Z87L0116FSC1937 is listed as a related variant but requires verification of functional equivalence. Consult Zilog technical support or authorized distributors for direct cross-reference recommendations.
