Zilog Z80

The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed and manufactured by Zilog from 1976 onwards. It was widely used both in desktop and embedded computer designs as well as for defense purposes, and is one of the most popular CPUs of all time.

Although Zilog made several attempts to move off the Z80 onto more powerful 16-bit (Zilog Z800, Zilog Z8000, Zilog Z180, Zilog Z280) and 32-bit (Zilog Z80000, Zilog Z380) platforms, other companies were offering CPUs in this performance range years earlier, and the Zilog chips never caught on. Zilog?s most recent CPU is the Zilog eZ80, a faster Z80 with a 16 MB addressing range.
