The Z8 Encore! offers a wide range of features for use in embedded applications, most notably the use of three
DMA channels to read for example from the
analog-to-digital converter
In electronics, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC, A/D, or A-to-D) is a system that converts an analog signal, such as a sound picked up by a microphone or light entering a digital camera, into a digital signal. An ADC may also provide ...
(ADC).
The Z8 Encore! instruction set is compatible with that of the Z8 but it provides some extensions for use with high-level languages.
The Z8 Encore! features a single-pin debugging interface.
