| | Zilog Z80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Zilog’s most recent CPU is the Zilog eZ80, a faster Z80 with a 16 MB addressing range. | | | 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. | | | It was designed to be binary compatible with the Intel 8080 so that most 8080 code could run unmodified on it, notably the CP/M operating system. |

| | Like the Z80 before it, the Z800 retained the internal DRAM controller and clock, but added 256 bytes of RAM that could be used either as "scratchpad" RAM, or a cache. | | | The Z800 was, in most ways, a "super Z80" that would run existing programs at considerably higher speeds. | | | However Zilog essentially ignored the Z800 in favour of their 32-bit Z80,000 and it appears the Z800 never entered production. |

| | The Old Joel on Software Forum - Why did Zilog fail? |
| | Zilog shrunk (they were once owned by Exxon!) because they went from 1 8 bit Z80 hugely successful processor to a pure 16 bit processor (Z8000?). | | | Back in the times of Intel 8080, the Zilog Z80 microprocessor was a lot better than 8080. | | | They broke backward compatibility with the Z80 at a time when intel was smart to come out with 8088 which was a combo 8/16 processor cheaper to design for and which would use many existing off the shelf chips including memory due to its 8 bit wide bus. |

| | The subsequent offerings from Zilog, the Z800 and Z8000 were directly competitive to the Intel 8085 and 8086; we all know who won that war, especially since you probably never have heard of the Z800 or Z8000. | | | Made by Zilog, it used a "reverse" Intel 8080 assembler set but was for all practical purposes a better mousetrap and the world beat a path to Zilog's door. | | | The Zilog hybrid offering to be competitive to the 8086 from Intel. |

| | Zilog was incorporated in California in 1974 by Federico Faggin, who left Intel after working on the 8080, and the Z80 was a vast improvement over it (it was faster, etc.). | | | ZiLOG, often seen as Zilog, is a manufacturer of 8-bit CPUs, and is most famous for its Intel 8080-compatible Z80 series. | | | As well as producing processors, Zilog have produced several other components. |
