Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Z84C0010VEC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Core processor type (Z80)
• Bus width and core count (1 Core, 8-Bit)
• Operating frequency (10MHz)
• I/O voltage specification (5.0V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C)
• Package type (44-PLCC)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount)

The Z84C0010VEG qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification, not functional or physical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Z84C0010VEG is the direct equivalent substitute for the Z84C0010VEC. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, core architecture, and physical packaging. The Z84C0010VEG is preferred for new applications and ongoing system support due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification. The Z84C0010VEC, classified as obsolete, should be replaced with the Z84C0010VEG in maintenance and redesign scenarios where component sourcing is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Z84C0010VEG directly replace Z84C0010VEC in existing designs?
