Zilog Z180 is a Z80 compatible processor with integrated peripheral
functions like clock generator, 16 bit counters/timers, interrupt controller,
wait-state generators, serial ports and a DMA controller.
The Z180 processor includes new memory management unit that can be used to indirectly
address up to 1 MB of memory. A few new instructions were added to the processor
instruction set.
It is possible to configure the Zilog Z180 to operate as the Hitachi 64180.
There are a few modifications of the Z180 microprocessor:
- Z80180 - basic version with 5V core voltage and 2 power-down modes.
- Z8S180 - low-power version of the Z180 with 5 power-down modes and 5V core voltage.
- Z8L180 - low-voltage version of the processor with 3 power-down modes and 3.3V core voltage.
