ZiLOG公司由工业先驱Federico Faggin和Ralph Ungermann于1974年共同创立。Zilog公司生产的Z80系列控制器曾得到广泛的应用。1998年，TPG(the Texas Pacific Group)收购了ZiLOG公司，根据ZiLOG公司的设计和生产经验，将市场定位于三个方面：通讯、家庭娱乐和集成控制。目前，ZiLOG公司拥有资料齐全的专有设计资料室，在加州、德州、爱达荷州州、华盛顿建立了四个设计中心，在爱达荷州拥有先进的制造工厂，在菲律宾马尼拉拥有一个检测工厂，此外，在德州建立了全球用户服务中心。

Zilog目前在全球共有27个销售办公室，分销点超过120个。Zilog新推出的产品是eZ80，它是在Z80的基础上嵌入了Internet和DSP（数字信号处理）功能。产品有IR产品、微控制器、微处理器、PCMCIA、PC外围设备、TV控制器和无线产品等等。

Zilog是面向工业和消费者市场的应用专用嵌入式片上系统（SoC）解决方案的可靠供应商。作为微处理器和微控制器行业屡获殊荣的架构师，Zilog已将其专业技术发展到核心芯片之外，包括SoC，单板计算机，专用软件堆栈和开发工具，使嵌入式设计人员能够快速将产品推向市场。能源管理，监控和计量以及运动检测等领域。

Zilog，Inc.以前称为ZiLOG，是一家美国8位和16位微控制器制造商。其最着名的产品是Z80系列，8位微处理器，与英特尔8080兼容，但使用成本更低。 Z80在20世纪80年代被广泛用于许多流行的家用电脑，如TRS-80和ZX81。 16位和32位处理器也由该公司生产，但这些处理器并未得到广泛使用。从20世纪90年代开始，Zilog公司主要专注于微控制器市场。

该名称是Z集成逻辑的首字母缩写，也被认为是“Z为集成逻辑的最后一个词”。

Zilog Z80（i）是英特尔8080架构的改进实现，它更快，更强大，更便宜;与6502一起，它是用于通用微型计算机和其他应用的最流行的8位处理器之一。它被用于Nintendo Game Boy，Sega Master System，Sinclair ZX80，ZX81，ZX Spectrum和Amstrad CPC家用电脑以及MSX架构和Microbee和Tandy TRS-80系列等等。除了简单地引发家庭计算和游戏领域的改进之外，Z-80还引发了电子音乐的革命，因为第一个真正的可编程复音合成器（以及它们的外围设备）在很大程度上依赖于这种CPU的实现。

许多德州仪器的图形计算器使用Z80作为主处理器，并且该芯片在一些游戏控制台中继续使用，例如Sega Mega Drive（美国的Genesis）作为专用声音控制器。 CP / M操作系统（以及像Wordstar和dBase这样的大型软件库）被称为“Z80磁盘操作系统”，其成功部分归功于Z80的普及。

在Z80之后Zilog推出16位Z8000和32位Z80000处理器之后，这些并没有特别成功，Zilog公司重新专注于微控制器市场，生产基本CPU和专用集成电路/标准产品（ASIC/ASSP）围绕CPU核心构建。除了生产处理器外，Zilog还生产了其他几种组件。其中最着名的是早期Apple Macintosh上的Zilog SCC串行通信控制器，Sun SPARCstations和SPARC服务器直到SPARCstation 20。

Zilog还成立了一个系统部门，该部门设计了Zilog System 8000，这是一个基于Z8000或Z80000的多用户计算机系统，运行一个名为ZEUS（Zilog增强型UNIX系统）的Unix衍生产品。

Zilog于2006年2月尝试进入32位微控制器市场，演示基于ARM9的销售点（POS）微控制器产品线。最终产品于2007年发布，名为Zatara。销售情况令人失望，整个ARM9系列于2009年被出售给Maxim Integrated Products。

Zilog还生产Zdots单板计算机。它包括Zilog eZ80AcclaimPlus控制器，1MiB闪存，512KiB SRAM，10BaseT以太网控制器，IrDA收发器，2 x 60针系统扩展接口，带有完整的MPU总线/控制信号，RJ-45以太网连接器。运动检测版包括Z8 Encore！ XP MCU。

Zilog is a trusted supplier of application-specific embedded system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for the industrial and consumer markets. From its roots as an award-winning architect in the microprocessor and microcontroller industry, Zilog has evolved its expertise beyond core silicon to include SoCs, single-board computers, application-specific software stacks and development tools that allow embedded designers quick time to market in areas such as energy management, monitoring and metering, and motion detection.

Zilog, Inc., previously known as ZiLOG, is an American manufacturer of 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers. Its most famous product is the Z80 series, 8-bit microprocessors that were compatible with the Intel 8080 but less expensive to use. The Z80 was widely used during the 1980s in many popular home computers such as the TRS-80 and the ZX81. Both 16- and 32-bit processors were also produced by Zilog, but these did not see widespread use. From the 1990s the company focused primarily on the microcontroller market.

The name is an acronym of Z integrated logic, also thought of as "Z for the last word of Integrated Logic".

The Zilog Z80(i) was an improved implementation of the Intel 8080 architecture, which was faster, more capable, and much cheaper; alongside the 6502 it was one of the most popular 8-bit processors for general purpose microcomputers and other applications. It was used in the Nintendo Game Boy, Sega Master System, the Sinclair ZX80, ZX81, ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC home computers as well as the MSX architecture and the Microbee and Tandy TRS-80 series—among many others. More so than simply sparking improvements in the budding field of home computing and gaming, the Z-80 also sparked a revolution in electronic music, as the first truly programmable polyphonic synthesizers (as well as their peripherals) relied heavily on implementations of this CPU.

Many Texas Instruments graphing calculators used the Zilog Z80 as the main processor, and the chip found continued use in some game consoles such as the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in the United States) as a dedicated sound controller. The CP/M operating system (and its huge software library featuring hits like Wordstar and dBase) was known to be "the Z80 disk operating system", and its success is partly due to the popularity of the Z80.

After the Z80 Zilog introduced the 16-bit Z8000 and 32-bit Z80000 processors, but these were not particularly successful, and the company refocused on the microcontroller market, producing both basic CPUs and application-specific integrated circuits/standard products (ASICs/ASSPs) built around a CPU core. As well as producing processors, Zilog has produced several other components. One of the most famous was the Zilog SCC serial communications controller as found on early Apple Macintosh, Sun SPARCstations and SPARCservers up to the SPARCstation 20.

Zilog also formed a Systems Division, which designed the Zilog System 8000, a Z8000- or Z80000-based multiuser computer system running a Unix derivative called ZEUS (Zilog Enhanced UNIX System).

Zilog attempted to enter the 32-bit microcontroller market in February 2006 with the demonstration of ARM9-based Point-Of-Sale (POS) microcontroller product line. The final product was released in 2007 called Zatara. Sales were disappointing and the entire ARM9 series was sold to Maxim Integrated Products in 2009.

Zilog also produced Zdots single board computers. It includes Zilog eZ80AcclaimPlus controller, 1MiB flash memory, 512KiB SRAM, 10BaseT Ethernet Controller, IrDA transceiver, 2 x 60-pin system expansion interface with full MPU bus/control signals, RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Motion detection version includes Z8 Encore! XP MCU.
