Zilog’s Modular Development System General-Purpose (MDS-GP)
Application Board, ZGENPRP0100MDS, adds a variety of peripheral
interfaces to Zilog’s eZ80Acclaim!
® or Z8 Encore! XP ® or ZNEO ® Z16F
family of MDS-compatible processor modules. MDS-GP is the first of a
series of application boards that makes it easier for developing products
with Zilog
® processors.
Zilog’s MDS processor modules (MDS-PM) are available as stand-alone
development kits that include a Zilog microprocessor and everything you
need to get started. Adding the MDS-GP board to an MDS-PM develop-
ment system provides interface to expand your application development
possibilities.
Applications of MDS-GP include:
•
High-current control of external devices, using the board’s high-drive
outputs or on-board relays.
•
Miniature system-control panel, using the built-in keypad and LCD
display.
•
Optional plug-ins:
– GPS to wireless data controller
– Web-based wireless data system
