The Z9021x Digital Television Controller (DTC) family is Zilog's latest and most powerful Z8-based DTC product offering. These parts feature larger system RAM and ROM options, together with a host of new features including a new color palette system, flexible inter-row spacing, higher character cell resolution, background mesh effect, dedicated I.R. capture registers, on-chip Analog-to-Digital conversion, and a hardware Master mode I2C interface. The familiar Z8 core in combination with these advanced features makes the Z9021x family an ideal choice for low to midrange televisions in both PAL and NTSC markets.
