PA40-44-01-DP-PP – 40-Pin DIP Socket to 44-Pin PLCC Emulator Adapter (Zilog Z86C(E)21 / 61)

Overview

PA40-44-01-DP-PP is a PLCC emulator adapter designed for Zilog Z86C(E)21 and Z86C(E)61 microcontrollers. As a result, engineers can evaluate 40-pin DIP devices using systems that require a 44-pin PLCC emulator interface.

On the top side, the adapter provides a 40-pin DIP socket on 0.100″ (2.54 mm) pitch. Therefore, it accepts DIP-packaged Zilog Z8-family devices used in development and validation workflows.

On the bottom side, the adapter presents a 44-pin PLCC plug. Consequently, it inserts directly into PLCC emulator sockets without additional cabling.

This adapter uses device-specific wiring rather than full 1:1 mapping. Instead, it aligns the DIP pinout of Z86C(E) devices to the PLCC footprint while skipping and shorting defined PLCC pins.

Adapter Wiring

The following chart shows the connections from the DIP socket to the adapter’s PLCC plug. To improve readability, the wiring is shown in two parallel columns.

The left column lists DIP Socket pins mapped to corresponding PLCC Plug pins. In parallel, the right column lists PLCC Plug pins mapped back to their associated DIP Socket pins.

Skip and short notation: PLCC pins 6, 17, 28, and 39.

• Microcontroller validation and testing
• Engineering and laboratory environments

Package Includes

• One PA40-44-01-DP-PP DIP-40 socket to PLCC-44 emulator adapter

Compatibility Note

This adapter does not use 1:1 wiring. Instead, it applies Zilog Z86C(E)-specific pin mapping and defined skip and short behavior. Therefore, verify target requirements before use.

Why Choose This Adapter

PA40-44-01-DP-PP simplifies Zilog Z8 emulation in PLCC-based systems. Moreover, it provides documented and repeatable wiring for consistent lab results.

Because it uses controlled routing, it reduces setup errors. As a result, engineers can focus on firmware instead of hardware troubleshooting.

Streamline Your Workflow

Use this adapter to integrate DIP-based Zilog microcontrollers into PLCC emulator environments efficiently. Consequently, development cycles move faster.
