- Looking for auto baud detection code (Z80, pascal, etc.) for for a
Zilog SCC (Z8530/Z8030) or SIO???
- Looking for a good source for Zilog chips. I need Z8530's (10Mhz),
and Z84C13 IPC's. I define good as a supplier that:
- Has the chips
- Can do COD or preferably VISA
- Doesn't mind 5/10/15 quantities (I want at least 5 of everything!!)
The Z84x1x IPC are new "Intelligent Peripheral Controllers". They
have a 10Mhz Z80, SIO, CTC, Watch Dog timer, PIO (on some models), and
clock generator, wait state generator, and auto power on reset (some
models). All of this in a 84-pin PLCC or 100 pin quad flat pack!!!
From my point of view, these chips give the 8051/6811/etc.
microcontrollers a run for their money!!

Of the Zilog distributors he gave me, I tried Newark and Lex (800-833-3557). Newark didn't have the Z84C13 IPC chips, and would require a large order for them to get them, plus a long delay. Newark can do VISA, and carries the "standard" Zilog chips (but so does Jameco/JDR, probably at a lower price!!). Lex has the chips in stock. I have placed a order. They can do COD, but no VISA. They do have a $250 minimum order. I paid about $18 for my Z84C1310VEC (I think that is the proper number) chips. They are being shipped from San Jose. There is also a 6Mhz version of this chip. As for Zilog SIO/SCC autobaud code, I'm still looking............. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Link BITNET : LINKR @ VTVM1 VA.
