GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Z8602 Keyboard Controller (KBC™) introduces a new level of sophistication to single-chip architecture. The Z8602 is a member of the Z8 single-chip microcontroller family with 2 Kbytes of ROM.

The Z8602 KBC is housed in a 40-lead DIP, and is manufactured in NMOS technology. Zilog’s microcontroller offers fast execution, more efficient use of memory, more sophisticated interrupt, input/output bit-manipulation capabilities, and easy hardware/software system expansion along with low cost and low power consumption.

The KBC 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.
