Z8 Encore!® Evaluation Board

The Z8 Encore! MCU family of products are the first in a line of Zilog 
MCU products based upon the new 8-bit eZ8 core CPU. The Flash 
in-circuit programming capability allows for faster development time and 
program changes in the field. The new eZ8 core CPU is upward compati-
ble with existing Z8
