ZiLog has begun shipments of its eZ80 Webserver (eZ80190), enabling easy, cost-effective, direct connections to networks and the Internet.
Frugal IrDA transceivers can stay on all the time
ZiLog has released the first devices in its new UltraSlim IrDA transceiver family designed to bring always-on, always power-efficient infra-red connectivity to compact portable systems.
With over 1600 socket modules available, this programmer supports virtually all package types from the largest QFP to the smallest uBGA.
This also includes the latest technology of QFN, MLF, and lead- free packages.
The new Zilog support software can be downloaded directly to existing BP Microsystems programmers from the company's website.
By extending programming support to encompass the Z8 Encore! and eZ80Acclaim! Flash MCU families Zilog devices are now supported by the programming equipment most commonly used in large volume programming houses, effectively decreasing the time from design win to volume ramp up.
Expanding BP Microsystems's device support library for universal programming equipment means that thousands of customers globally now have a cost- effective programming solution that enables them to work with Zilog's award- winning MCU devices and draw added benefit and additional leverage from their investment in BP Microsystems equipment.
"Zilog has enjoyed a long and fruitful association with BP Microsystems", said Ramesh Ramchandani, Zilog's Senior Vice President of Marketing.
"The support of the eZ80Acclaim!, Z8 Encore! and Crimzon families extends their support significantly.
Not only does this development provide BP2200 users with a solution for programming Zilog devices at the development and prototyping phases of the product cycle, and for low to high-volume manufacturing, but it opens up a whole range of programming choices due to the full-feature set offered by Zilog microcontrollers".
"We gladly extend our device support to cover the eZ80Acclaim!, Z8 Encore! and Crimzon families of MCUs", said Loc Ha, BP Micro's Device Support Manager.
"This addition further extends our leading position in microcontroller support".
