The Z84C0010AEG is an industrial-grade Z80 microprocessor by Zilog featuring a single 8-bit core operating at 10 MHz. Designed for embedded applications, it delivers straightforward, deterministic processing in a compact surface-mount 44-LQFP (10×10) package.

With 5 V I/O and an extended operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C, this device is targeted at embedded and industrial use cases that require reliable, space-efficient control processing.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture  Single Z80 core, 8-bit bus width providing classic microprocessor functionality for embedded control tasks.
• Performance  10 MHz operating speed suitable for deterministic control and general-purpose embedded processing.
• Power and I/O  5 V I/O voltage compatibility for systems designed around legacy 5 V logic levels.
• Package and Mounting  44-LQFP package (10×10) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board layouts and automated assembly.
• Industrial Grade  Rated as industrial grade with an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 100 °C for elevated environmental tolerance.
• Graphics Acceleration  No graphics acceleration — optimized for control and general-purpose processing rather than graphics workloads.
• Manufacturer and Series  Part of Zilog’s Z80 (Z84C0) series, offered under manufacturer Zilog.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Use as a deterministic processor in controllers and automation equipment where an industrial temperature rating and 5 V I/O are required.
• Embedded Systems  Suitable for compact embedded devices that need an 8-bit microprocessor in a surface-mount 44-LQFP package.
• Legacy System Maintenance  Applicable for repair, replacement, or maintenance of systems that rely on Z80-class 8-bit processing and 5 V logic levels.
• Instrument and Sensor Interfaces  Acts as a control and data-handling MCU for instrumentation and sensor front-ends operating across a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Industrial temperature tolerance: The -40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in harsh or temperature-variable environments, reducing thermal-related failure risk.
• 5 V logic compatibility: Native 5 V I/O simplifies integration with legacy logic families and existing board designs.
• Compact surface-mount package: The 44-LQFP (10×10) package enables high-density PCB placement and automated assembly for modern manufacturing workflows.
• Proven Z80 architecture: A well-known 8-bit core that provides predictable, single-core processing behavior for control-focused applications.
• Manufacturer backing: Provided by Zilog as part of the Z80 (Z84C0) series, aligning with established product lineage and support resources.
