Zilog is a trusted supplier of application-specific embedded system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for the industrial and consumer markets. From its roots as an award-winning architect in the microprocessor and microcontroller industry, Zilog has evolved its expertise beyond core silicon to include SoCs, single-board computers, application-specific software stacks and development tools that allow embedded designers quick time to market in areas such as energy management, monitoring and metering, and motion detection. With the acquisition of Zilog/IXYS, Littelfuse significantly expands their portfolio, with solutions spanning a full range of technologies. Because many Zilog parts remain in long-lived industrial equipment, firmware extraction from them is a routine service task.
Zilog's ZNEO Z16F Series MCU is a powerful 16-bit CISC microcontroller that outperforms most RISC microcontrollers in its class. The ZNEO Z16F Series boasts a unique architecture that provides the power, punch, and performance of a 32-bit, with the code, current efficiency, and cost of a 16-bit. The ZNEO CPU boasts a highly optimized instruction set that achieves higher performance per clock cycle, with less code space and lower overhead than competing architectures. The distinctive ZNEO instruction set makes reverse engineering of its firmware a specialized discipline compared with standard 8051 code.
Build your application with the ZNEO Z16F Series Development Kit (Z16F2800100ZCOG). The kit makes it easy for engineers to hack together working prototypes in a short time.
All ZNEO Z16F Series products are RoHS-compliant.

12-bit PWM module with three complementary pairs or six independent PWM outputs with dead-band generation and fault trip input. The 12-bit PWM module with fault trip input lets designers unlock safer and more flexible motor-control designs.
Zilog Z8 is an 8-bit microcontroller with integrated clock oscillator, two timers/counters, serial line and 32 I/O lines (4 ports). The Z8 had separate data and program memory spaces. Internal program memory of the Z8 ranged from 0 KB (for ROMless version) to 4 KB, and it could be expanded up to 64 KB of program memory using external ROM. The microcontroller had 144 8-bit registers - 4 I/O registers, 16 control registers and 124 general registers. Data memory on the Zilog Z8 could be expanded by adding up to 62 KB of external memory. The microcontroller supported stack operations, it was possible to use general registers or external data memory to store stack data. With no on-chip protection in the earliest Z8 parts, a simple glitch attack on the external bus was a practical concern for security-minded designers.
The Zilog Z8 family included the following modifications:
The eZ80 CPU operates either in Z80-compatible (64 KB) mode or full 24-bit (16 MB) addressing mode. Considering both the increased clock speed and processor efficiency, the processing power of eZ80 competes with the performance of 16-bit microprocessors. The eZ80 improves on the world-famous Z80 architecture. Like Z80, eZ80 CPU features dual bank registers for fast context switching. This Z80 compatibility lets engineers crack through decades of legacy software to reuse proven code quickly.
