Overview

Zilog’s Z8FMC16100 Series Flash microcontrollers, a part of the Z8 Encore! MC™ family of  motor control devices, are based on Zilog’s advanced eZ8™ 8-bit CPU core. Optimized for motor control applications, these devices support the control of Single and Multiphase variable-speed motors. Target applications are large appliances, small appliances, HVAC, automotive, power tools, and personal care devices.
Z8FMC16100 Series Flash MCUs feature a flexible pulse width modulator (PWM) module with three complementary pairs or six independent PWM outputs supporting dead-band operation and fault protection trip input. These features provide multiphase control capability for a variety of motor types and ensure safe operation of the motor by providing Pulse-by-Pulse or latched fast shutdown of the PWM pins during fault condition.
Z8FMC16100 Series MCU features up to eight single-ended channels of 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion, with a sample and hold circuit. It also features one operational amplifier for current
sampling and one comparator for over-current limiting or shutdown.
A high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) enables voltage, current, and back-EMF sensing, while dual-edge interrupts and a 16-bit timer provide a Hall-effect sensor interface.
A full-duplex 9-bit UART provides serial, asynchronous communication and supports the local interconnect network (LIN) serial communications protocol. The LIN bus is a cost-efficient Single Master, Multiple Slave organization that supports speed up to 20 kbps.
Included in its rich-set of peripherals are other features such as: one additional 16-bit timer with
Capture/Compare/PWM capability, SPI or I2C Master/Slave for serial communication, and an internal precision oscillator (IPO).
The single-pin debugger and programming interface simplifies code development and allows
easy in-circuit programming.
