When did the Zilog Z80 microprocessor come out?
A May 1976 advertisement for the Zilog Z-80 8-bit microprocessor. The Zilog Z80 CPU is an 8-bit based microprocessor. It was introduced by Zilog in 1976 as the startup company’s first product.
How does the Z80 instruction set differ from the 8080?
Similarly, both have a single opcode LD HL, (nn) and LD (nn),HL while only the Z-80 has the redundant ED version of LD HL, (nn) and LD (nn),HL. The Z-80 does not have a new JP instruction that tests the overflow flag. This remains the conditional jump based on parity but the “parity” bit is set based on overflow for arithmetic instructions.
Which is the latest Zilog microcontroller for embedded systems?
In recent decades Zilog has refocused on the ever-growing market for embedded systems and the most recent Z80-compatible microcontroller family, the fully pipelined 24-bit eZ80 with a linear 16 MB address range, has been successfully introduced alongside the simpler Z80 and Z180 products.

What can you do with an Arduino Z80?
IMHO, the easiest way to make that lonely Z80 into something you can play with is to hitch it to an Arduino. The Arduino can generate the clock, control the data lines, operate some of the control signals. With a setup like that, you can free-run the Z80 to see if it’s working correctly, and watch its other signals to see what’s going on.
