Zilog
zilog
company
the microprocessor manufacturer who produced the zilog z80 in july 1976 (as used by sinclair in the zx-80, zx-81 and zx spectrum computers) and later the zilog z8000.
zilog was founded in 1974 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of exxon corp. by 1980. the company’s management and employees purchased zilog back from exxon in 1989. zilog became a publicly-held company in february, 1991. in march of 1998, zilog was privatised, as a result of the merger and recapitalisation transaction by texas pacific group (tpg).
zilog now produce a range of 8-bit microcontrollers, 8-, 16- and 32-bit microprocessors, and digital signal processors, covering the home entertainment, communications, and embedded systems markets.

zilog z8 processor a family of microcontrollers from zilog with on-chip ram and rom. the z8 is not related to the zilog z80, it uses a totally different architecture and instruction set. compet-tors include the motorola 6805/68hc05 family or the intel 8051-family (or i51-family or mcs51-family – there is no standard family name).

zilog z80 processor an 8-bit microprocessor. it was released in july 1976 with a 2.5 mhz clock rate. the z80 was a much improved intel 8080 (as was the intel 8085). it also used 8-bit data and 16-bit addressing, and could execute all of the 8080 op codes as well as 80 new ones, instructions […]
- Zilog-z8000
zilog z8000 processor a microprocessor from zilog introduced not long after the intel 8086, but with superior features. it was basically a 16-bit processor, but could address up to 23 bits in some versions by using segment registers (to supply the upper 7 bits). there was also an unsegmented version, but both could be extended […]
