Zilog has introduced the Zmotion intrusion detection solution. The Zmotion Z8FS021A consists of a PIR and a high-performance microcontroller with integrated motion-detection algorithms.
According to the product specification, the device includes a high-performance eZ8 MCU core, 2 KB in-circuit programmable Flash available for application code, single-pin debug with unlimited breakpoints, internal precision oscillator running at 5.53 MHz and external oscillator operating up to 20 MHz, ADC and full-duplex UART.
Zilog lists this sensor as currently in production with samples available. A link is provided to the product’s source code.
the zmotion modules are great and easy to use and you have more flexibility compared to the previous generation. I recomend them. but dont try to get zmotion samples at zilogs website, you will just loose time. having been waiting 20 days for a status change from “aproval pending” I desided to buy zmotion modules from digikey when they apeared and got them the next day.
I’d like to offer a correction to the product specification reference, which currently links to Zilog’s ZMOTION Module spec (PS0284), not the Intrusion spec (PS0288). The correct path is: http://www.zilog.com/docs/PS0288.pdf.
