 Zilog Z80 - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
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 24 MB addressing range.
The Zilog Z80 has also become a popular embedded microprocessor and microcontroller core, where it remains in widespread use today.

ZiLOG’s original Z8® 8-bit microcontroller families are also recognized by engineers worldwide for their ease-of-use, architecture, and competitive pricing.
ZiLOG’s award-winning microprocessor families include the Z80®, the Z180/S180, and the enhanced eZ80® microprocessor.
The eZ80® is backward-compatible to the Z80® architecture, yet it introduces a much higher performance 50MHz core, the ability to address up to 16MB of SRAM, and an array of new on-chip peripherals.

 Zilog Z80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In recent decades Zilog has concentrated on the ever-growing market for embedded systems, and the most recent Z80-related microcontroller family, the 8/16/24-bit eZ80, a fast Z80 with a linear 16 MB address range has been successful.
ZiLOG published the opcodes and related mnemonics for the intended functions, but did not document the fact that every opcode that allowed manipulation of the H and L registers was equally valid for the 8 bit portions of the IX and IY registers.
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 - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
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.).The Z80 was a best seller because it was much cheaper than the 8080.
It was used in the Nintendo Game Boy and many Texas Instruments graphing calculators as the main processor and in some newer game consoles as a secondary processor, like the Mega Drive.

 Zilog Re-does Z80 - eZ80 Announced - ticalc.org
Slashdot has once again posted an article of note -- this time, Zilog, the company that created the Z80 processors that (most notably) the 82, 83, 85 and 86 run on, has decided to re-release their successful processor, calling it the eZ80.
Um, the proper spelling is "Zilog." By the way, putting "(please don't delete this comment)" doesn't actually change whether your comment will be deleted or not.
If Zilog suddenly decided to change the spelling of their company name (as I don't think they've always done in caps that way), well, it's weird, and probably only to make the company name stand out.
