Zilog
     
         The {microprocessor} manufacturer who produced the
        {Zilog Z80} in July 1976 (as used by {Sinclair} in the
        {ZX-80}, {ZX-81} and {ZX Spectrum} computers) and later the
        {Zilog Z8000}.
     
        Zilog was founded in 1974 and became a wholly owned subsidiary
        of Exxon Corp. by 1980.  The company's management and
        employees purchased Zilog back from Exxon in 1989.  Zilog
        became a publicly-held company in February, 1991.  In March of
        1998, Zilog was privatised, as a result of the merger and
        recapitalisation transaction by Texas Pacific Group (TPG).
     
        Zilog now produce a range of 8-bit {microcontrollers}, 8-, 16-
        and 32-bit {microprocessors}, and {digital signal processors},
        covering the home entertainment, communications, and {embedded
        systems} markets.
