Digital Core Design Announces Availability of DZ80, a 8-bit Microprocessor IP Core

January 2, 2007 - Digital Core Design today has announced the release of a new - DZ80 - 8-bit Microprocessor IP Core. Meeting the needs of customers who in their work use standard Z80 Microprocessor we put new DZ80 at their disposal. It is an immediate substitute which is 100 percent compatible with pin, software in respect to a standard Z80. DZ80 is a single-chip 8-bit embedded processor dedicated for operation with fast (typically on-chip) and slow (off-chip) memories. The core has been designed with a special concern for performance to power consumption ratio.

The DZ80 is a technology independent VHDL or VERILOG design that can be implemented in a variety of process technologies and can be fully customized accordingly to customer needs.
DZ80 is delivered with fully automated testbench and complete set of tests allowing easy package validation at each stage of SoC design flow. Customer can select VHDL, VERILOG HDL Source code, and FPGA Netlists depending on what is preferred. Core is licensed under Single Design or Unlimited Designs options. For further details please contact DCD.
