ZiLOG, often seen as Zilog, is a manufacturer of 8-bit CPUs, and are most famous for their Intel 8080-compatible Z80 series.
Zilog was incorporated in California in 1974 by Federico Faggin, who left Intel after working on the 8080, and the Z80 shared many features with it.
Later Zilog introduced 16-bit and 32-bit processors, but these were not particularly successful, and the company refocussed on the microcontroller market, producing both basic CPUs and application-specific standard products (ASSPs) built around a CPU.

 Zilog Z80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed and sold by Zilog from July 1976 onwards.
In recent decades Zilog has concentrated on the ever-growing market for embedded systems, and the most recent CPU family, the 8/16/24-bit eZ80, a fast Z80 with a linear 16 MB address range has been successful.
Zilog's ill fated NMOS Z800 and CMOS Z280 were quite fast Z80-implementations (before the HD64180 / Z180) with a 24 MB paged MMU address space; they added many orthogonalizations and addressing modes to the Z80 instruction set, but were too complex and mini-computer inspired to be a natural choice for most embedded applications.

 Zilog Z800 (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Zilog Z800 was a 16-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog to be released in 1985.
It was instruction compatible with their existing Z80, and differed primarily in having larger registers, being able to address more memory, and running at higher speeds.
However Zilog essentially ignored the Z800 in favour of their 32-bit Z8000 and it appears the Z800 never entered production.

The Zilog Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed and manufactured by Zilog from 1976 onwards.
Although Zilog made several attempts to move off the Z80 onto more powerful 16-bit (Zilog Z800) and 32-bit (Zilog Z8000) platforms, other companies were offering CPUs in this performance range years earlier, and the Zilog chips never caught on.
The Zilog Z80 has also become a popular embedded microprocessor and microcontroller core, where it remains in widespread use today.

 Zilog Z80000
The Z80000 was Zilog's 32-bit processor from 1986, an expansion of its 16-bit predecessor, the Zilog Z8000.
The processor was designed to interoperate with other integrated circuits designed for use with the Z8000, such as the Zilog Z8070 floating-point coprocessor.

The Z800 family will be offered in 4 packages, their abilities are: 1.
The Z800 also has 4 DMA channels, 4 counter/timers, a dynamic RAM refresh generator, a clock osc., a memory management unit, and a UART directly on the chip.
The chip will support what Zilog calls Nibble mode addressing of chips, for faster accessing of RAM (I think Intel calls it Ripple mode, I could be wrong).

To assure system integrity, the Z800 microprocessor can operate in either user or system mode, allowing protection of system resources from user tasks and programs.
Burst mode transactions have the further benefit of allowing the cache to operate more efficiently by guaranteeing a high probability that the contents of the associated memory will be present in the cache.
It would be nice if this ever came to pass, but Zilog is busy with their Z80,000 32 bit processor so this takes a back seat.

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 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.
That CPU was the standard of the 70's and 80's and had the CPU world at its feet until Intel brought out the 8085 and 8086 series of processors.

The first three were 8-bit computers based on the Z80 microprocessor, while the MSX turbo R was based on an enhanced Zilog Z800 known as the R800.
The turbo R was introduced in 1992 but was unsuccessful due to a lack of support from any other company.

Moreover, affordable memory chips (especially ROM & FLASH) are generally significantly slower than the state machine sub-cycles (clock cycles) used in microprocessors, and the shortest machine cycle time that could safely be used is limited by memory access times in most embedded (and home computer) designs.
Minicomputer features such as, user and system modes, multiprocessor support, on chip MMU, on chip instruction and data cache, etc. was seen rather as more complexity than as functionality and support for the (usually electronics-oriented) embedded systems desiger, it also made it very hard to predict instruction execution times.

 R800 Creator (Hardware MSX Forum)
ASCII asked Zilog to alther (upgrade) the Z800 in a specific way for the Turbo-R. So it's more or less an OEM CPU, created by Zilog for ASCII.
My guess is ASCII and Toshiba bought the Z800 designs from ZiLOG and created the R800 from it.
And indeed, unlike the Z800 or Z180, the R800 design is based on the RISC philosophy.

Lo Zilog Z80 è un microprocessore a 8 bit progettato e prodotto da ZiLOG dal 1976 in poi.
Anche se Zilog ha tentato varie volte di far entrare lo Z80 nel mercato dei 16 bit (ZiLOG Z800, ZiLOG Z8000) e in quello dei 32 bit (Zilog Z80000), ha dovuto sempre subire la concorrenza di altre società che fornivano già da alcuni anni CPU di tale potenza.
Lo Z80 nacque nel luglio del 1976 per opera di Federico Faggin che, lasciata la Intel dopo aver lavorato sull'8080, aveva fondato la Zilog.
