The perfect foundation for your innovative
application development ideas
ZiLOG's General-Purpose Modular Development
System (MDS) Application Board gives you the
peripherals you need to design your innovative
applications using any ZiLOG MDS-compatible
development board. Our MDS application board
provides several PCB footprints and connectors that
enable you to add functions as needed in your
designs.
Built-in terminal blocks for many I/O connections are
included, providing easy access to your external
hardware. The MDS application board provides a
number of RS232 options that are selectable by
software control or jumper settings. The kit includes
an MDS general-purpose application board, CD-ROM,
and supporting documentation. ZiLOG's MDS
development boards are sold as stand-alone
development kits to work along with existing
eZ80Acclaim!™, Z8 Encore!®, and Z8 Encore! XP®
development tools. The MDS general purpose board
speeds your time-to-market by providing you with the
most frequently used features needed for 8-bit MCU
application development.
