with one capture register and two reload
registers
– Programmable input glitch filter for pulse
reception
• Six priority interrupts
– Three external
– Two assigned to counter/timers
– One low-voltage detection interrupt
• Low voltage detection and high voltage detec-
tion flags
• Programmable Watch-Dog Timer (WDT)
• Power-On Reset (POR) circuits
• Two independent comparators with program-
mable interrupt polarity
• Programmable ROM options
– Port 0: 0–3 pull-up transistors

General Description
The ZGR163L is an ROM-based member of
the ZiLOG
®
MCU family of general purpose
microcontrollers. This family has 237 bytes of
general-purpose RAM. ZiLOG’s general purpose
microcontrollers offer fast-executing efficient use
of memory, sophisticated interrupts, input/output
bit manipulation capabilities, automated pulse gen
-
eration/reception, and internal key-scan pull-up
transistors.
