Z87L0116FSC

Overview

The Z87L0116FSC is a Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) phone controller integrated circuit manufactured by Zilog. Designed for wireless communication applications, this component operates at a frequency of 900MHz and supports surface-mount technology within a 144-QFP package measuring 28x28 mm. It functions as an RF misc IC and module specifically tailored for phone control tasks. The device is rated for an operating temperature range from -20°C to 70°C and requires a 3.3V supply voltage. This part is categorized under RF Misc ICs and Modules.

Feature Summary

• Supports Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) modulation for robust wireless communication
• Integrated phone controller functionality for managing wireless telephony operations
• Surface-mountable design in a compact 144-QFP package for efficient PCB integration

Applications

• Wireless telephone systems requiring FHSS technology
• Phone controller modules in communication devices
• RF miscellaneous integrated circuits for specialized audio control

Procurement Notes

Verify the RoHS status carefully, as sources indicate non-compliance or lead-containing variants. Confirm the exact package dimensions and pinout against the official datasheet before assembly. Check for obsolete status implications on long-term supply availability. Ensure compatibility with 3.3V logic levels and the specified temperature range for your specific application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated FHSS phone controller is required for 900MHz wireless applications. Consider the 144-QFP package size constraints and surface-mount requirements during PCB layout. Evaluate the operating temperature range limits against your environmental conditions. Verify if the specific function aligns with legacy or specialized phone control architectures rather than modern general-purpose RF transceivers.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z87L01 family of RF miscellaneous ICs and modules produced by Zilog. It is distinct from other members of the series by its specific 900MHz FHSS operation and phone controller designation. The Z87L0116FSC represents a specialized solution for wireless telephony control rather than a general-purpose data modem or transceiver.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status indicated by some distributors, direct replacements may require evaluating newer generations of FHSS controllers or consulting manufacturer archives for cross-reference data.
