Supported Operating Systems: Any
Supported 8-bit Architectures: Z80®/eZ80®

The Z8 Encore!® family of Flash microcontrollers is comprised of two main device series – the F0830 and F083A. Developed around the highly-acclaimed eZ8 core, the devices feature key peripherals that are tied together to offer a complete solution with greater scalability, lower overall system cost and reduced energy consumption.

Both the F0830 and F083A Series of devices share similar features, and offer a full line of products that are selectable by memory size, EEPROM and ADC speed. The F083A, by contrast, extends the solution from the existing F0830 series and adds substantial cost-to-performance improvements for fan and motor control applications with a 2.8 ms ADC conversion time and a 20 MHz internal precision oscillator.

Common features available to both the F0830 and F083A devices include direct memory-to-memory arithmetic operation, a flexible Internal Precision Oscillator (IPO) and a best-in-class fast ADC. If your solution requires even more precision, the F083A takes all the performance and key peripheral features of the F0830 and adds to it a more optimized peripheral set specifically catered to applications that require faster response times. The F083A enhanced peripheral set enables critical motor control loop operations, for example, that accommodate for features such as current and temperature monitoring.

The entire family of Z8 Encore! parts is supported by one of the most comprehensive tool offerings in the market. Each development kit provides all the necessary hardware and software tools, including a FREE full-version ANSI C-Compiler and software sample libraries.
