GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Z08615 Keyboard Controller is a member of the Z8
single-chip microcontroller family with 4 Kbytes of ROM.
The device is housed in a 40-pin DIP and 44-pin PLCC
package, and is manufactured in NMOS technology. The
Z08615 microcontroller offers fast execution, efficient use
of memory, sophisticated interrupt, input/output bit-manip-
ulation capabilities, and easy hardware/software system
expansion along with low cost and low power consump-
tion.
The Z08615 architecture is characterized by a flexible I/O
scheme, an efficient register, I/O, and a number of ancillary
features that are useful in many industrial and advanced
scientific applications.
For applications which demand powerful I/O capabilities,
the Z08615 provides 32 pins dedicated to input and output.
These lines are grouped into four ports, each port consists
of 8 lines, and are configurable under software control to
provide timing, status signals, and serial or parallel I/O
ports.
The Z08615 offers low EMI emission which is achieved by
means of several modifications in the output drivers and
clock circuitry of the device.
There are two basic address spaces which are available to
support this wide range of configurations: Program Memo-
ry and 124 General-Purpose Registers.
The Z08615 offers two on-chip counter/timers with a large
number of user-selectable modes. This unburdens the pro-
gram from coping with real-time problems such as count-
ing/timing (Figure 1).
