New eZ80Acclaim! Microcontrollers for Internet and Intranet Networking - ZiLOG

ZiLOG introduced the eZ80F91AZA50 (LQFP) or eZ80F91NAA50 (BGA),  new member of its eZ80Acclaim! family of 8-bit designed for use in communications, Internet and Intranet networking applications.

The eZ80F91AZA50 and eZ80F91NAA50 devices provide an optimum combination of features to enable collection of data from — and control of — a networked group of instruments or systems via a single PC. Along with the other members of the eZ80Acclaim! family, it features on-chip integrated memories (up to 256KB Flash and 16KB SRAM), core speeds up to 50MHz, and an on-chip Ethernet MAC.

This latest member of the eZ80Acclaim! family features increased registers for better I/O performance, a modified power controller for lower power consumption, and updated Flash memory functionality to reduce code size and speed time-to-market.

The eZ80F91AZA50 and eZ80F91NAA50 devices have identical footprints to the previous eZ80F91 generation. The new devices were designed to be backward-compatible, although some minor code modification may be required, dependant on which features are used. Development kits and modules are available to facilitate designs developed using these new offerings.
