Zilog Z80
Z80 Peripherals |
(July 1976) (June 2001) |
Address: 16 Data: 8 |
User Manual |
First product after separation from Intel. Better interrupt system. Built-in DRAM refresh. 4MHz to 20MHz CMOS. 64KB max. Z80 CPU Peripherals User Manual um0081.pdf |
Zilog Z8000 | (1979) |
Address: 24 Data: 16 |
Tech Manual | Combine registers to operate as 32-bit or 64-bit for math. 8MB max memory. Not Z80 compatible. |
Zilog Z800 | (1985) |
Address: 24 Data: 8/16 |
16MB MMU. Poor initial support because of big brother Z8000. Became the Z280 in 1986. Calculation of exact execution times was much harder to do on the Z800 than for the Z80. | |
Zilog Z80000 | (late 1985) |
Address: 32 Data: 8/16/32 |
Tech Manual | Instruction pipeline, cache, 4GB RAM, competed with incompatible Intel 80386. Compact (64KB), Segmented 16MB) and Linear (4GB) modes. |
Zilog Z280 | (early 1986) |
Address: 32 Data: 8/16/32 |
Tech Manual | Renamed from the Z800. 16MB MMU. Multitasking and multiprocessor features. Four different address spaces. Multiplexed address and data buses - ugh. |
Zilog Z180 | (late 1986) |
Address: 20 Data: 8 |
Enhanced, faster version of the original Z80. Speed 6MHz to 32MHz. Peripheral functions like 1MB MMU, 2 DMAs, 2 ASCIs (UARTs), 1/2/4 Timers, and standby power mode. | |
(1994) |
Address: 16/32 Data: 16-32 |
16-bit (64KB) or 32-bit (4GB) linear address space. Flexible bus interface timing, with separate control signals and timing for memory and I/O. |
