Overview
Zilog’s Z8F6481 ZMOTION Library Development Kit provides a general-purpose plat-
form for evaluating the capabilities and operation of the ZMOTION Engine Library using
the Z8F6481 Series of microcontrollers. This kit is equipped with two Z8F6481 series
MCUs and comes complete with various lenses and PIR sensors to test the ZMOTION
Engine Library for multiple applications.
Zilog’s ZMOTION Engine Library provides an integrated and flexible solution for Passive
Infra-Red (PIR)-based motion detection applications. The Software library is comprised
of the PIR sensor signal processing algorithms for motion detection, transient and noise
detection, white light detection, and several other motion-related functions and is inte-
grated with the user’s application code.
An Application Programming Interface (API) allows the application code to configure,
control, and monitor the Library in real time. API configuration parameters allow the
Engine operation to be optimized for the particular lens and pyro electric sensor being
used in the application. This allows the designer to create their own application-specific
software while taking advantage of Zilog’s ZMOTION Motion Detection technology.
For more information about the operation of the ZMOTION Library, refer to ZMOTION
Engine Library for the F6481 Series (UM0275).

PIR Sensors
The three PIR sensors listed in Table 2 are included with the kit. The ZRE200GE sensor is
soldered on the board.
To change the PIR sensor, carefully unsolder the installed sensor and solder in the new
sensor. Avoid extended duration of heat on the sensors’ pins, because excessive heat may
cause deterioration of the sensor (for example, avoid duration beyond 5 seconds at 350°C).
The pyroelectric sensors are easy to identify by observing the window size (the board
comes with the ZRE200GE installed).
Lenses
The Development Kit includes ten lenses. Four mounting options are supported – Clip on,
PCB Mount, Circular Holder, and Rectangular Holder. Table 3 describes the lenses that
are included with the Kit.

Sample Applications
ZMOTION Engine Library
The development board comes with two Z8F6481QN024XK2247 MCUs that are prepro-
grammed with sample applications to demonstrate basic motion detection.
• The LP MCU is preprogrammed with the ZM_LP_Basic application.
• The NP MCU is preprogrammed with the ZM_NP_Basic application.
The 2247 suffix is a specific version of the Z8F6481 MCU series that supports the ZMO-
TION Library. Devices without the 2247 suffix do not support the ZMOTION Library.
The MCUs share the same PIR sensor, so only one device may be used at a time. SW4
(Active MCU Selection) is used to select the active MCU. The unselected MCU is held in
Reset.
• The LP MCU is in the Low Power configuration
• The NP MCU is in the Normal Power configuration
For a demonstration with the preprogrammed application, perform the following steps:
1. Install the VCOM USB driver included with the ZMOTIONL300ZCOG_1.0 installa-
tion file by right-clicking on the .exe file and selecting Run as administrator. This
driver is located in the Drivers folder.
–Zilog_VCOM_Install.x64.exe: 64-bit Windows
–Zilog_VCOM_Install.x86.exe: 32-bit Windows
–The Device Driver will be installed as (Zilog USB Serial Device) in Device Man-
ager under Ports (COM & LPT)

2. Set SW4 to select the active MCU configuration (LP or NP).
3. Install the ZNCL10IL lens on the PIR sensor.
4. Ensure the shunts are installed across pins 2 and 3 on J4 (LP MCU) and J9 (NP MCU).
5. With the USB A (male) to Mini-B cable, connect Port P1 on the Development Board
to a USB port on the development PC or other suitable power source to apply power to
the Development Board.
–Alternatively, power can be supplied from a bench type power supply using J12
and J13. An input of 5V to 12V is supported.
When power is first applied, the status LED will blink until the PIR sensor is stable. When
the PIR sensor is stable, the status LED will turn off and blink when motion is detected.
If the USB interface is connected to a PC, a terminal emulation program like RealTerm or
CoolTerm can be used to observe the motion status events. Set the serial interface to
57600bps, N, 8, 1.
Refer to the Sample Applications section on page 13 to learn more about specific MCU
operations.
MCU Current Measurement
The MCU current consumption can be easily measured by removing the shunt on J4 (LP
Current) or J9 (NP Current) and connecting an ammeter on the respective positive (+) and
negative (–) header pins.
Operating Voltage Adjustment
The MCU operating voltage can be adjusted from 2.0V to 3.0V by the R33 potentiometer.
Turn the potentiometer clockwise to decrease the voltage. The operating voltage can be
measured from the J11 header (labeled VCC_T).

Sample Applications
Table 5 lists four sample application projects that are included with the
ZMOTIONL300ZCOG_1.0 installation file. Contact Zilog Technical Support for addi-
tional sample projects.
The LP and NP MCUs on the Development Board come preloaded with the
ZM_LP_Basic and ZM_NP_Basic projects. To load a different project, refer to the Using
ZDS-II to Download and Debug a Project section on page 16.
The Z8 Encore! family of MCUs supports three operating modes:
• Run – In this mode, the CPU is running and all peripherals/clock sources can be en-
abled (normal running mode).
• Halt – In this mode, the CPU is not running and all peripherals/clock sources can be
enabled. Exit via interrupt.
• Stop – In this mode, the CPU is not running and some peripherals/clock sources can be
enabled. Exit via Stop Mode Recovery (SMR).
Stop mode provides the lowest current consumption and is used in the ZM_LP_Basic and
ZM_LP_Command projects. The ZM_NP_Basic and ZM_NP_Command projects use
Halt mode to reduce current consumption.
However, the Stop mode operation is not supported while executing code with the debug-
ger; only Halt and Run modes are supported. To use the debugger with the ZM_LP_Basic
and ZM_LP_Command projects, the following configuration definition is included in the
main.h file that enables the use of Halt mode in place of Stop mode.
#define USE_STOP_MODE
Set this definition to 0 and rebuild the project before using the debugger to run the applica-
tion. Set this definition to 1 when running the application without the debugger. Current
consumption will be higher when using Halt mode.

ZM_LP_Basic
This project uses the Low Power MCU configuration to provide motion detection with
ZMOTION Digital PIR validation.
The MCU stays in Low Power Stop mode until an Analog PIR event is detected. The
MCU then wakes up and runs the ZMOTION Engine on the PIR signal to validate the
motion event.
When the motion event is validated, the status LED is flashed and a message is sent via the
VCOM USB serial interface (connected to UART0 on the LP MCU).
Typical current consumption is <13uA @ 3.0V.
Sliding SW4 to the LP position causes the NP MCU to be held in reset and releases the LP
MCU to run. The following status messages will be displayed on the terminal:
ZM_LP_Basic
Version: 1.0
ZMOTION: Enabled
Waiting for PIR Stability...
The MCU normally stays in Stop mode to conserve power. Each time it wakes up, a status
message is sent to indicate the reason for the wake up. Table 6 lists these status message
descriptions.
In Table 6, * indicates MCU wake up and . indicates MCU going to Stop mode. When
Motion Detected status is sent, an ASCII BELL character (0x07) is also sent. Some termi-
nal applications can interpret this and provide an audible indication of motion detection.
ZM_LP_Command
This project uses the Low Power MCU configuration to provide motion detection with
ZMOTION Digital PIR validation and a serial command interface.
Table 6. Status Messages
Status Code Description
*08. Indicates that the MCU woke up as part of the power-on stability timer.
*04. Indicates that the MCU woke up to enable motion detection.
*02. Indicates that the MCU woke up from an analog motion event. It will run
the ZMOTION Engine to digitally validate the motion event.
PIR Stable PIR sensor is stable – Power on stability delay complete.
Motion Detected The ZMOTION Engine validated the motion event.
