Z8 General Purpose Board

The Z86E08 micro-controller is used in this application as a general purpose Input Output controller. It has four protected inputs and four high current drive outputs. There is an optical receiver, an Infrared transmitter and I2C communications interface. 

Any functional component of the system can be used as intended, or in an alternative mode.

Design specifications

Supply voltage 8-15 volts DC, or 12 volts AC
Input sense Logic 0 - 0 through 2.0V
Logic 1 - 2.1V through to 5.1V
Output drive Logic 0 - 0V@1.5A
Logic 1 - VCC via load.
I2C Standard I2C up to 400Kbps
IR Tx Max drive current of 30mA
IR Rx Inverting receiver. Sensivity not yet measured.

SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

The software is to be written to exploit a 10MHz master clock driving the system.


Z8 (86E08) pin allocations are:

P0.0 I2C Clock output
P0.1 I2C TxData out (Must drive to Logic '0' when receiving) output
P0.2 Infrared Transmit LED output
P2.0 Sense 0 input input
P2.1 Sense 1 input input
P2.2 Sense 2 input input
P2.3 Sense 3 input output
P2.4 High current driver 0 output
P2.5 High current driver 1 output
P2.6 High current driver 2 output
P2.7 High current driver 3 output
P3.1 I2C RxData in. input
P3.2 Not used, pulled high. input
P3.3 Infrared Rx input

CPU FUNCTIONAL BLOCK RESOURCE ALLOCATION

Timer-0 User specified
Timer-1 User specified
P3.1 input Used as standard input. No interrupts generate on edge transition.
P3.2 input Used as standard input. No interrupts generate on edge transition.
P3.3 input Used to generate interrupt on falling edge of Receive data (Start bit).

Zilog have made their OptiC MSDOS command line driven 'C' cross compiler available for download. This tool can be used to build the 'C' version of source code.

Software Tools

The source code can be compiled using Zilog's Z8 CCP Emulator (Order code: Z86CCP00ZEM) downloadable from www.zilog.com.

To program the Z86E08 you will need to get a hold of a blank chip and a programmer. Zilog also provides these in at least one form: Z8 CCP Emulator (Order code: Z86CCP00ZEM)
