ZLPBLST0P2064GR55W4

Overview

The ZLPBLST0P2064GR55W4 is a Crimzon RC Blaster microcontroller in a 20-pin DIP package. It integrates a comprehensive North American infrared (IR) code database covering TV, VCR, DVD, cable, satellite, and audio systems. The device operates on a 2.0V to 3.6V supply with typical stop-mode consumption of 2μA. It functions as a slave MCU controlled by a master CPU via two-way UART or I2C interfaces. The solution includes hardware jumper configuration and supports extensive key coverage for universal remote control applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated North American IR database for TV, VCR, DVD, cable, satellite, and audio
• Low-power operation: 2.0-3.6V supply, 2μA typical stop-mode current
• Slave MCU architecture with UART/I2C communication to master CPU
• Hardware jumper and command configurable

Applications

• Set-top boxes
• Digital video recorders (DVR)
• DVD recorders
• Video network streaming devices
• Media center hubs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ROM version suffix (RXXXX) required for production, as firmware updates are provided regularly. Confirm that the 20-DIP package matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure the master CPU supports the necessary UART or I2C protocols for communication with this slave device.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated IR transmission solution with pre-loaded codes is needed to reduce engineering effort. Compare against other Crimzon variants like ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 if surface mount packaging is preferred over the through-hole DIP option. Verify voltage requirements align with the 2.0-3.6V operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Zilog Crimzon RC Blaster family, which combines an IR engine with a large database. The 'ZLP' prefix indicates a specific product line within the Crimzon series, while the 'P' in the ordering code denotes the 20-pin PDIP package type. It is designed to simplify IR integration into embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Crimzon RC Blaster variants such as ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 (SOIC package) or ZLRBLST0P2064GR55W4. Check for updated ROM versions (RXXXX suffix) to ensure compatibility with the latest database revisions.
