Z0803606VSG00TR – ZILOG

The Z0803606VSG00TR, manufactured by Zilog, is a Z80 microprocessor variant. Specifically, this part is a Z84C00 CMOS Z80 CPU, operating at a clock frequency of 6 MHz. The ‘VSG’ portion of the part number denotes a surface-mount package, likely a PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier), and the ’00’ indicates a standard operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The ‘TR’ suffix signifies that the device is supplied in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes. The Z84C00 core offers full software compatibility with the original NMOS Z80, while providing reduced power consumption and improved noise immunity due to its CMOS construction. It includes the standard Z80 instruction set, interrupt handling capabilities, and on-chip refresh circuitry for dynamic RAM.
