Littelfuse, Inc. 10MHZ Embedded Microprocessor MPU Z8S18010VEC

The Z8S18010VEC is an enhanced microprocessor from Lingto Electronic Limited, designed to be compatible with the ZiLOG Z80¬Æ CPU architecture. It features extended instructions and two chain-linked DMA channels, which facilitate efficient data transfer. The device operates at clock speeds of 10, 20, and 33 MHz, with an operating voltage of 5V (3.3V at 20 MHz) and a temperature range of 0¬8C to +70¬8C, with an extended range of -40¬8C to +85¬8C. This microprocessor includes on-chip interrupt controllers, wait-state generators, and an oscillator/generator, enhancing its performance and flexibility. It supports asynchronous data transfer rates of up to 512 Kbps through its two enhanced UARTs, which are equipped with a 4-byte FIFO buffer to minimize overrun errors. The Z8S18010VEC also incorporates power-saving modes, reducing power consumption significantly during operation. The device is available in multiple packaging styles, including 68-pin PLCC, 64-pin DIP, and 80-pin QFP, making it suitable for various applications. Overall, the Z8S18010VEC is a robust choice for projects requiring a reliable and efficient microprocessor with backward compatibility and enhanced features.
