Zilog’s Encore! Smart Cable (ZUSBESC0200ZACG) is used to download program and debug systems based on Z8Encore! and Z8 Encore! XP microcontrollers using the Z8Encore! Zilog Developer Studio(ZDS) II version 5.6.2 (and later releases).

• Supports target system clock frequencies between 4kHz and 24MHz at OCD baud rates of up to 500kbps.
• Provides up to 100mA of current to target systems before an external power source is required.
  • Target operating voltage can be configured in steps of 100mV between 1.8V and 3.6V.
• Measures target current consumption (up to 30mA) under control of the ZDSII IDE to provide a numerical result on demand, or a graphical output of measurements at 1ms (or longer) intervals.
  • Optional breakpoint can be enabled to trigger once the target current consumptions goes above, or below, a configurable threshold.
• Allows target application block OCD communications while in stop mode or performing critical operation. This can be accomplished via RESET- pin or new signalling pin named T_MSG, based on project configuration.
  • This feature can be used to enable debugging Encore! targets as they transition through stop mode without causing a power-on-reset event(1).

For more information regarding these features, refer to the ZDSII Help file integrated with the ZDSII Encore! 5.6.0 (and later) IDE.
(1) Requires the application to drive the appropriate signalling pin (T_MSG or RESET-) low prior to entering stop mode. During the SMR the signalling pin should be driven high, (if using T_MSG), or configured as the reset alternate function, driven high, (if using RESET-).

Zilog's Encore! Smart Cable is RoHS-compliant.

The Zilog Standalone Programmer (ZSP) USB dongle is used for production programming or field-updating an application in Flash memory on Zilog’s S3 and Z8 Encore family of microcontrollers. Target Programming can be performed manually at the touch of a button on the ZSP, or automatically by an external programmer through the ZSP external controller interface.

The Target firmware is pre-loaded into the Zilog Standalone Programmer (ZSP) from a PC via USB using the ZSP configuration program.

Features:

• Supports all Zilog Z8 Encore and S3 MCU’s
• Stand-alone operation
  • No need for PC once the hex file is loaded and the unit is configured
• Simple, single button operation
• Serialization with auto increment/decrement
• Password protection
• Programming Count Limit
• Supports automated programming with External Controller Interface (ECI)

Kit Contents

The ZIlog Standalone Programmer Kit PN: ZUSBZSP0100ZACG contains the following items:

* Zilog Standalone Programmer is RoHS-compliant.

Optional Hardware

The ZSP can be powered by a PC with USB port or wall power supply capable of supplying 5V at 200mA. Using a USB wall adapter allows the ZSP to program targets in standalone mode.
