The Z8 includes several families of microcontrollers including the Z8 GP, Z8 Low Voltage, Z8 ROM, Z8 ROMless and Z8 OTP. The family comes in a range of memory sizes, voltage options, and temperature ranges.

The Z8 GP (ZGP323H/L and ZGR163L/323L) family is OTP- and ROM-based general-purpose microcontrollers. Offering 237-bytes of general-purpose RAM and up to 32-kbytes of OTP memory, the Z8 GP provides support for standard, extended, and automotive temperature ranges. The low-voltage series supports voltage ranges from 2.0V to 3.6V, making it suitable for low-power applications. The high-voltage series supports voltage ranges from 2.0V to 5.5V. Both series offer fast-executing memory use, high GPIO, sophisticated interrupts, input/output bit manipulation, automated pulse generation/reception, and internal key-scan pull-up resistors.

The Z8 low voltage devices can operate as low as 2V. Like the core Z8 microcontroller family, the low voltage parts feature a register-based CPU operation, up to 32 GPIO, up to 4-kbytes of ROM, up to two 8-bit timers, and available analog comparators.

The Z8 ROM family features register-based CPU operation, up to 32 GPIO, up to 64-kbytes of ROM, up to 16 vectored interrupts, two 8-bit timers, and available analog comparators and UARTs. The Z8 family is available in a variety of package types and voltage ranges.

The Z8 ROMless products feature register-based CPU operation, up to 32 GPIO, up to 16 vectored interrupts, two 8-bit timers, and available analog comparators and UARTs. The Z8 OTP (one-time-programmable) family substitutes OTP memory for ROM program memory, simplifying development for cost-conscious applications, and can be seamlessly transitioned to equivalent lower-cost ROM parts for mass production.

Full documentation and support for the Z8 family is available via data sheets, product user manuals, quick-start guides, application notes, flyers, technical notes, and white papers.
