User manual

Low System Cost
Highly integrated microcontroller features, such
as the op-amp and comparator, give you the
ability to reduce your overall system cost.
Small Size
Our MCU's feature rich performance is
compacted into a 32-pin QFN package
requiring only 5x5mm of your PCB space.
Design Robustness
In small appliance designs, motor noise can
interfere with MCU's operation. With our IPO
and noise robustness, our Z8 Encore! MC™
MCU can operate even in the worst of
conditions.
Power Consumption
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.
Fast Time-to-Market
ZiLOG provides a complete solution for your
small appliance motor control design backed by
reference designs, software libraries, and
application notes to speed you through the
design process.

You've set your goals high and your challenge is to bring the best looking
small appliance to the market fast without compromising its low cost.
Today's consumers expect the best and we help you to give them the best
with our Z8 Encore! MC™ family of motor control microcontrollers. We've
integrated more features on-chip, thought about the small appliance size,
and created a microcontroller that is power efficient and robust enough to be
used in harsh environments. Now you are able to add more differentiating
features with ease and get your design to market faster at low cost, and
these are all the goals that we have set for ourselves.
