Allowing easy software development, debug, and prototyping, Zilog´s Z8E001 Microcontroller offers a cost-effective One-Time Programmable (OTP) solution to its single-chip Z8Plus MCU family. Both 8-bit and 16-bit on-chip timers, with a large number of user-selectable modes, offload the administration of real-time tasks, such as counting/timing and Input/Output data communications.
