Z8F0223PJ005EC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Z8F0223PJ005EC is an 8-bit microcontroller from Zilog's eZ8 Encore!® XP® series, featuring 2KB FLASH program memory, 512 bytes of RAM, and integrated peripherals including UART/USART, PWM, and analog-to-digital conversion. The device operates at 5MHz with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V and is housed in a 28-DIP package.

This part is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when original stock is depleted or when design flexibility allows for active production alternatives that maintain functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Z8F0223PJ005EC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Core processor architecture (eZ8)
• Core size (8-Bit)
• Operating frequency (5MHz)
• Program memory capacity and type (2KB FLASH)
• RAM capacity (512 x 8)
• Supply voltage range (2.7V ~ 3.6V)
• I/O count (22)
• Peripheral feature set (UART/USART, PWM, WDT, Brown-out Detect/Reset, LED, POR)
• Data converter specification (A/D 8x10b)
• Package form factor (28-DIP)
• Mounting technology (Through Hole)

The Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 is the qualified substitute for the Z8F0223PJ005EC. Both devices share identical functional specifications, pin configurations, and electrical characteristics. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the original part is obsolete, while the substitute is in active production.

The Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 offers an additional advantage in regulatory compliance. It carries ROHS3 certification, whereas the original Z8F0223PJ005EC is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement may be relevant for applications subject to environmental or procurement regulations.

Both parts are supplied with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), indicating no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard component practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the Z8F0223PJ005EC and Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both devices use the 28-DIP package with identical pinout and electrical specifications. Direct board-level substitution is possible without layout modifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance and tube packaging, while the Z8F0223PJ005EC is the obsolete variant. The suffix designations reflect manufacturing and compliance tracking codes.

Q: Can I use the substitute in new designs?

A: Yes. The Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 is in active production status and is suitable for new designs. It provides the same functional performance as the original part with improved regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any electrical or timing differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate at 5MHz, support the same voltage range (2.7V to 3.6V), and provide identical peripheral functionality and I/O configuration.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The Z8F0223PJ005EC packaging specification is not detailed in the available data. The Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Z8F0223PJ005EC is RoHS non-compliant. The Z8F0223PJ005EG2156 is ROHS3 compliant. If RoHS compliance is a requirement, the substitute part must be selected.
