Energy Efficiency
Our 2µs ADC with time stamp is tied to the
PWM module and allows you more accurate
control of the motor at lower or variable speeds
to reduce power consumption.
Design Robustness
In appliance designs, motor noise can interfere
with MCU's operation. With our IPO and noise
robustness, the Z8 Encore! MC™ MCU can
operate even in the worst of conditions.
Differentiating Features
Microcontroller based design allows for ability
to add more complex and differentiating
features. With 16K of Flash and 17 GPIO you
are able to add many bells and whistles to
differentiate your product.
Quiet Operation
Keep your appliance system's audible noise low
by using the soft start feature and ability to
adjust the speed of the motor by using our
advanced analog motor control features.
Communication
Use the advantage of integrated multiple
communication peripherals for complete system
level communication.

During the last century, appliances have become an essential part of our lives.
While cost savings have been a big focus during this period of time, today's
consumers are more interested in the added value an appliance brings to its
daily use. ZiLOG's feature-rich Z8 Encore! MC microcontrollers enable
today's appliance design engineers to add many new differentiating features
and meet the new market requirements. Combined with our easy-to-use
development tools, reference designs, and software libraries, the Z8 Encore!
MC microcontrollers help you to get to market faster than the competition.
