General Description
The Z86L88 is a ROM-based member of the Z8 MCU single-chip family of infrared
(IR) controllers, featuring 237 bytes of general-purpose RAM and 16 KB of ROM,
respectively. Maxim’s CMOS microcontrollers offer fast executing, efficient use of
memory, sophisticated interrupts, input/output bit manipulation capabilities, auto-
mated pulse generation/reception, and internal key-scan pull-up transistors.
The Z86L88 architecture is based on Maxim's 8-bit microcontroller core featuring
an Expanded Register File to allow access to register-mapped peripherals, I/O cir-
cuits, and powerful counter/timer circuitry. The Z8 offers a flexible I/O scheme, an
efficient register and address-space structure, and a number of ancillary features
that are useful in many consumer, automotive, computer peripheral, and battery-
operated hand-held applications.
Three basic address spaces are available to support a wide range of configura-
tions: program memory, register file, and Expanded Register File. The register file
consists of 256 bytes of RAM. It includes 4 I/O port registers, 16 control and status
registers, and 236 general-purpose registers. [Register FEh (SPH) can be used
as a general-purpose register.] The Expanded Register File consists of two addi-
tional register groups (F and D).
The Z86L88 offers a new intelligent counter/timer architecture with 8-bit and 16-bit
counter/timers (Figure 1). Also included are a large number of user-selectable
modes and two on-board comparators to process analog signals with separate
reference voltages (see Figure 9 on page 18).
