ZX Microcontrollers Powered by ZBasic

We offer several different microcontrollers to meet a variety of needs. The ZX-24a and ZX-24p are 24-pin DIP "Stamp" format devices that are pin compatible with the Basic Stamp 2 and BX- 24. The ZX-40a and ZX-40p are 40-pin DIP devices that are easy to use in prototypes. The ZX-44a and ZX-44p are 44-pin TQFP devices primarily intended for volume production. And, for applications requiring more I/O, RAM and other resources, we offer the ZX-1281 and ZX-1280.

For more demanding applications, we offer the "native mode" devices: ZX-24n, ZX-40n and ZX-44n. These devices are pin compatible with their VM- mode counterparts and are also largely source code compatible. Because they run native object code for the processor, the execution speed is significantly faster. Moreover, with native mode devices it is possible to write interrupt handler code and to use inline assembly code when necessary. Similarly, the ZX-1281n and ZX-1280n are the native mode versions of the high capacity microcontrollers.
