Zilog Z80 microprocessor family, fourth-generation enhanced 8-bit CPU architecture with high computational performance and efficient memory utilization. Features two complete sets of general-purpose registers (main and alternate register banks) for fast context switching, two 16-bit index registers (IX and IY), stack pointer, program counter, refresh register, and interrupt register. Supports a single +5V power supply and interfaces directly with standard memory and peripheral devices. Includes advanced interrupt handling, daisy-chain interrupt capability, and built-in dynamic RAM refresh support. Widely used in industrial control systems, embedded equipment, terminals, instrumentation, retro computers, and communication devices.
