Product details
Overview
ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 from Zilog is a Crimzon® RC Blaster™ infrared microcontroller with integrated ZBASE® IR code database, designed as a UART-controlled slave MCU for universal remote control subsystems. It operates from 2.0–3.6 V, consumes 2 μA (typ) in Stop Mode, supports North American and European satellite/cable IR protocols, and is packaged in 20-pin SSOP.
For engineers reviewing the ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 datasheet, ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 pinout, ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 application, or ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 equivalent, key selection criteria include UART-based master-slave integration, embedded IR database coverage (3,700+ brands), low-power stop-mode operation, hardware jumper configuration, and 20-pin SSOP footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
The ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 implements a three-layer architecture: hardware layer (UART Tx/Rx, GPIOs, EEPROM drivers), middle layer (command interpreter), and application layer (command executor). It executes IR transmission via dedicated IR Tx circuitry and supports IR learning through its IR Rx input.
It communicates exclusively via two-way UART with a host CPU and requires no external licensing for its built-in ZBASE® database covering TV, DVD, cable, satellite, VCR, and audio devices - including extended functions like PIP, guide, menu, and info keys.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4?
The ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 is a dedicated infrared microcontroller that acts as a UART-controlled slave device to translate host CPU commands into standardized IR transmissions. It integrates the ZBASE® database and handles all IR timing, modulation, and protocol encoding internally - eliminating the need for host-side IR firmware. Its role is strictly IR command execution, not general-purpose computation.
Does the ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 require external memory or licensing for IR codes?
No. The ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 includes the complete ZBASE® IR database (3,700+ brands) permanently embedded in ROM. There are no runtime license fees, no external Flash or EEPROM requirements, and no database update downloads needed for standard North American and European satellite/cable protocols. All code sets are pre-verified and factory-programmed.
Can the ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 learn new remote controls?
Yes. The ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 supports IR learning via its IRRX input pin. When placed in learning mode via UART command, it captures raw pulse-width modulated signals from third-party remotes and stores them in internal RAM for immediate playback. Learned codes persist only until reset unless saved externally by the host system.
What are the voltage and power requirements for the ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4?
The ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 operates from 2.0 V to 3.6 V DC. Its typical active current is 3.5 mA at 3.3 V, and Stop Mode draws just 2 μA (typical). A 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between VDD and VSS. No external regulators or LDOs are needed if the system provides a clean 3.3 V rail.
Is the ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 pin-compatible with other Crimzon RC Blaster variants?
Yes - ZLPBLST0H2064GR55W4 shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with ZLPBLST0P2064GR55W4 (PDIP) and ZLPBLST0S2064GR55W4 (SOIC). All three variants use the same 20-pin assignment, UART interface, and IR I/O signaling. Only mechanical package dimensions differ; no PCB redesign is needed when switching between them.
