Z84C0008VEG

The Z84C0008VEG is a Zilog Z80 microprocessor in a single-core, 8-bit configuration running at 8 MHz and supplied in a 44-pin PLCC surface-mount package. It is offered as an industrial-grade MPU designed for embedded applications where a proven Z80 architecture and extended temperature operation are required.

Key attributes include 5 V I/O signaling, a compact 44-PLCC (44-LCC J-lead) package for surface-mount assembly, RoHS compliance, and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture – Single Z80 core, 8-bit architecture providing classic Z80 instruction compatibility within a modern packaged MPU.
• Clock Speed – 8 MHz operating frequency suitable for low- to mid-performance embedded control tasks.
• Voltage I/O – 5 V I/O voltage for direct interfacing with 5 V logic systems.
• Package & Mounting – 44-PLCC (reported as 44-LCC J-Lead) supplier device package in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB assembly.
• Industrial Grade & Temperature Range – Rated for industrial use with an operating range from -40 °C to 100 °C for extended-environment reliability.
• Environmental Compliance – RoHS compliant to support environmental regulation requirements.
• No Graphics Acceleration – Designed as a general-purpose MPU without graphics acceleration, focused on control and processing tasks.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems – General-purpose embedded processing in compact boards where an 8-bit Z80 core and 5 V I/O are appropriate.
• Industrial Control – Control and interface tasks in industrial equipment that require an industrial-grade MPU and extended temperature tolerance.
• Legacy Z80 Designs – Maintenance, repair, or continuation of systems built around the Z80 series where architectural consistency matters.
• Surface-Mount Board Designs – Applications requiring a PLCC surface-mount package for PCB space optimization and automated assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Industrial temperature tolerance: Operation from -40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in demanding thermal environments.
• Classic Z80 architecture: Single 8-bit Z80 core provides architectural familiarity for designers working with Zilog’s Z80 series.
• Standard 5 V I/O: Simplifies integration with existing 5 V logic and peripheral components.
• Surface-mount 44-PLCC package: J-lead PLCC supports compact, automated PCB assembly and reliable board-level mounting.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance for restricted substances.
• Focused MPU design: No graphics acceleration—optimized for deterministic control and embedded processing tasks.
