Encyclopedia: Zilog

Zilog, NASDAQ: ZILG often seen as ZiLOG, is a manufacturer of 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit CPUs, and is most famous for its Intel 8080-compatible Z80 series. Zilog was incorporated in California in 1974 by Federico Faggin, who left Intel after working on the 8080. The Z80 was an improved 8080 which was faster, more capable, and much cheaper; alongside the 6502 it was one of the most popular 8-bit processors for general purpose microcomputers and other applications. It was used in the Nintendo Game Boy, the Sinclair ZX80, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum home microcomputers as well as the MSX architecture and the Tandy TRS-80 series - among many others. Also, many Texas Instruments graphing calculators used the Z80 as the main processor and in some newer game consoles as a secondary processor, like the Mega Drive. The CP/M operating system (and its huge software library featuring hits like Wordstar and dBase) was known to be "the Z80 disk operating system", and its success is partly due to the popularity of the Z80.
