ZiLOG has officially unveiled its first 16-bit product, the ZNEO Z16F family of Flash microcontrollers. Based on ZiLOG's new ZNEO 16-bit CPU core, the ZNEO Z16F delivers optimised performance and efficiency, with an optional external bus, 24-bit address and 16-bit data.
The ZNEO" Z16F CPU instruction set has been optimised for near single-cycle instructions, yielding up to 20 MIPS at 20MHz, combined with large zero wait state internal flash, powerful math functions, 32-bit ALU supporting 8-, 16-, and 32-bit operations, embedded 32x32 multiply/64x32 divide operations and 16-bit bus widths. The compiler-friendly instruction set supports multibyte push/pop framer pointer manipulation, so that code generation is compact.
Key features of ZNEO Z16F Series MCU include:
* 20 MHz ZiLOG ZNEO CPU Core
* Up to 128 KB internal Flash program memory with 16-bit access and in-circuit programming capability; Up * to 4 KB internal RAM with 16-bit access
* Up to twelve channels 10-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC)
* Integrated operational amplifier, analogue comparator and internal precision oscillator
* 4-channel DMA controller supports internal or external DMA requests
* Two full-duplex 9-bit UARTS, with support for LIN and IrDA
* I2C master-slave controller and Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (ESPI) controller
* Standard, extended and automotive temperature operating ranges available.
The ZNEO Z16F series is supported by a comprehensive suite of development tools and software (Part Number Z16F2800100ZCOG-ANZ), which includes the ZNEO series Modular Development System (MDS), USB Smart Cable for PC to ZNEO" series MDS and 5-volt DC universal power supply. Software is supplied on CD-ROM, and includes ZDS II ZNEO IDE with ANSI C-complier and sample code.
