The Z80 is an 8-bit microprocessor designed by Zilog founder and CEO Federico Faggin, first released in July 1976. It is the CPU used in the Amstrad CPC computers.
The Z80/Z80A was a very popular microprocessor, used in a wide range of applications, from early gaming consoles like the ColecoVision or the Sega Master System to personal computers like the ZX Spectrum and the MSX.
It was even used in the Sega MegaDrive as the sound CPU and in the Commodore C128 as a secondary processor in order to achieve CP/M compatibility.
Contents
Description
The Z80 microprocessor is an 8-bit CPU with a 4-bit ALU and a 16-bit address bus capable of direct access to 64KB of memory space. The Z80 is a little-endian CPU, meaning it stores 16-bit values with the least significant byte first, followed by the most significant byte. It has a language of 252 root instructions and with the reserved 4 bytes as prefixes, access to an additional 308 instructions. The Z80 was modelled after the Intel 8080 and contains the seventy-eight 8080 opcodes as a subset to its language.
While not in the same league as the Intel 80x86 or the Motorola 68000 series, the Z80 is extremely useful for low cost control applications. One of the more useful features of the Z80 is the built-in refresh circuitry for ease of design with DRAMs.
The Z80 has about 8500 transistors. It comes in a 40-pin DIP package. It has been manufactured in A, B, and C models, differing only in maximum clock speed. It also has been manufactured as a stand-alone microcontroller with various configurations of on-chip RAM and EPROM.
Part numbers used in the Amstrad CPC during its lifetime
The Z80 CPU has been manufactured by others, and various Z80s have been used in the construction of the CPC during its lifetime.
- SGS Z8400AB1
- ST Z8400AB1
- ZILOG Z8400APS
- ZILOG Z0840004PSC
Zilog ended the production of the Z80 in April 2024. The chip is still available in ample quantities through NOS chip suppliers.
Modern incarnations
Apart from surplus/new Z80-clones that are quite easy to find, many emulations depend on software implementations of the Z80:
- The T80 is a VHDL implementation of the Z80 and Z80A, finished in 2002 on OpenCores
- arnold uses InkZ80, written in C++ (apart from the author-designed C simulation)
- On OpenCores, there is also a Verilog implementation of the Z80.
Zilog itself offers the eZ80 processor, a new, 50MHz design. Kits now have reached a less-than-prohibitive price range and may be available without a business.
Registers
Register | Size | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
B, C, D, E, H, L | 8-bit | General-purpose registers | Can form 16-bit pairs: BC, DE, HL |
A (Accumulator) | 8-bit | Main register for arithmetic, logic, and data transfer | Most used register |
F (Flags) | 8-bit |
|
Flags (including F5 and F3) are affected by most operations.
HF and NF are used in the DAA algorithm. |
AF', BC', DE', HL' | 16-bit | Alternate register set | Swappable with primary registers for fast context switching |
SP (Stack Pointer) | 16-bit | Points to top of the stack | Used for subroutine calls and interrupt handling |
PC (Program Counter) | 16-bit | Points to the next instruction | Automatically increments as instructions execute |
IX, IY (Index Registers) | 16-bit | Used for indexed addressing | Can be split into IXH/IXL, IYH/IYL for 8-bit access |
I (Interrupt Vector) | 8-bit | Holds base address for interrupt mode 2 | Combined with external data to form an interrupt vector |
R (Memory Refresh) | 8-bit | Increments after each M1 cycle (instruction or prefix fetch) to refresh DRAM | Only the lower 7 bits are incremented |
Internal state
Register | Size | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
IM (Interrupt Mode) | 2-bit | Specifies the interrupt mode (0, 1, or 2) | Controls how interrupts are handled:
|
IFF1 | 1-bit | Main Instruction Fetch Flip-Flop | Set when interrupts are enabled, cleared on disable.
When the CPU accepts a maskable interrupt, both IFF1 and IFF2 are automatically cleared, inhibiting further interrupts. |
IFF2 | 1-bit | Stores the state of IFF1 during Non-Maskable Interrupts (NMI) | When an NMI occurs, the processor clears IFF1 to disable interrupts temporarily.
IFF2 stores the previous state of IFF1 so that after the NMI is handled, IFF1 can be restored to its original state. |
WZ | 16-bit | Internal temporary register pair. Also known as MEMPTR | Used for memory and address calculations.
Normally, you never see the content of this register. But it leaks the info through to F5 and F3 in case of the BIT b,(HL) instruction. Source |
Q | 8-bit | Internal register where it assembles the new content of the F register, before moving it back to F | On Zilog NMOS Z80, when the instruction doesn't compute new flags, this register is cleared instead.
Normally, you never see the content of this register. But it leaks the info through in case of the SCF/CCF instructions. Source Emulating Q is not strictly necessary. A 1-bit flag, indicating whether the previous instruction computed flags, is enough to emulate the behaviour of SCF/CCF. Source Also note that while POP AF and EX AF,AF' modify F, they do not compute new flag values. |
IR (Instruction Register) | 8-bit | Holds the opcode of the currently executing instruction | Internally used, not accessible by the programmer |
EIP (Extended Instruction Prefix) | 2-bit | Holds the prefix for extended instructions (CB, ED, or none) | Used for extended instruction sets like bitwise ops |
IMP (Indexing Mode Prefix) | 2-bit | Specifies the indexing mode (DD for IX+d, FD for IY+d, or none for HL) | Indicates use of index registers (IX or IY) for memory access |

S | Restart address (0x00, 0x08,..., 0x38) | sss = 000, 001,..., 111 |
Flags
- - = no change
- + = change by definition (if noted, by the operation marked with '=> flags', otherwise by the only non-single-bit operation):
* S = sign, bit 7 of the result byte (accumulator or high byte for 16-bit operations) * Z = zero, set if the result is zero (8 or 16-bit value) * 5 = undocumented, bit 5 of the result byte * H = half-carry, the carry (theoretical bit 4) of the low nibble of the result byte * 3 = undocumented, bit 3 of the result byte * P = parity (set if the result byte has an even number of bits set) or overflow (set when crossing the boundary of the signed range); always specified * N = negative, set if the previous operation was a subtraction; always specified * C = carry, the theoretical bit 8 of the result byte
- 0 = always reset
- 1 = always set
- X = change described under Effect
- P = parity (only for the parity flag)
- V = overflow (only for the parity flag)
- A = OR with the respective bit of the accumulator
- C = set if the counter (bc) is nonzero after decrementing
Miscellaneous
- () = indirection
- (()) = I/O port
- [] = operator precedence (to avoid confusion with indirection)
- E.B = the Bth bit of the value of expression E
- * = any bit value (0 or 1)
- wz = an internal 16-bit register connected to 16-bit operations
- tmp, tmp2 = temporary storage whose value is thrown away after each instruction
The NOPs column corresponds to CPC timings, taking into account bus arbitration.

Timings
The NOP instruction takes 4 cycles. This is the minimum amount of cycles an instruction can take.
Instructions IN r,(C) and OUT (C),r surprisingly take 4 NOPs with CPC timings, even though they are listed as 12 (4,4,4) cycles in the datasheet. This happens because I/O access is not aligned with memory access. On Zilog manual, it is precised that one wait-state TW is automatically inserted after T2 on I/O access.
On CPC, bus arbitration is done on every CPU bus access. On MSX, bus arbitration only applies to M1 machine cycles but access to VRAM has other limitations. On ZX Spectrum, bus arbitration is done not by using the /WAIT pin but by disabling the CPU clock when needed.
Opcodes
We see that all CB-prefixed opcodes and half of the standard opcodes (from &40 to &BF) follow a strict uniform layout. The exception is the HALT instruction (opcode &76), which replaces the expected LD (HL),(HL) instruction.
The rest of the opcode table also looks neatly organised but in an horizontal way instead of vertical.
Any instruction in bold is undocumented by Zilog.

ED-prefixed opcodes
The opcodes that are not mentioned in the following table are EDNOP (ED-prefixed NOP instruction). Thay have no effect but take 8 cycles and increment the register R two times. EDED, EDDD, EDFD and EDCB are also EDNOP instructions.

Notes:
- The opcode ED70 reads the port indicated by the register C without keeping the result but modifies the register F
- The opcode ED71 corresponds to the instruction OUT (C),255 on a CMOS Z80
DD or FD-prefixed opcodes
If an opcode is prefixed by DD, the instruction is changed as follows:
- HL is replaced by IX
- H is replaced by IXH
- L is replaced by IXL
- (HL) is replaced by (IX+d)
Same for the FD prefix but with IY instead of IX.
There are 3 exceptions:
- In the instruction EX DE,HL, HL will not be replaced with IX or IY. The EXX instruction is not affected either.
- If (HL) and L or H are used in the same instruction, L and H are not replaced with IXL or IXH. For instance LD L,(IX+d) stores the content of (IX+d) into L, not IXL.
- If the next byte is a DD, ED or FD prefix, the current DD or FD prefix is ignored (it's equivalent to a NONI) and processing continues with the next byte. ED-prefixed opcodes cannot be altered by DD or FD prefixes.
DDCB or FDCB-prefixed opcodes
When a DD or FD prefix is followed by a CB byte, the CB acts as a second prefix. A mandatory displacement byte comes next, and then the actual opcode.
If the instruction produces output other than in the flags (i.e. all except BIT), then the result gets placed both into (IX+d) or (IY+d) and into the register one would normally expect to be altered.
DDCB and FDCB-prefixed instructions only increment the R register twice. This has been confirmed on Stack Overflow
Oddities
- RETI and RETN are identical instructions Source. The only reason for RETI is so that some other hardware can detect the specific case of returning from the interrupt, by detecting the RETI opcode on the data bus.
- EI has a 1-instruction delay. It is necessary for doing EI/RETI without any danger of nested interrupt routines.
- RST instructions are just a CALL instruction to a fixed address baked in the instruction itself.
- Despite what the syntax of the instructions JP (HL/IX/IY) suggests, PC will be loaded with the contents of the register itself, not the indexed value. Those instructions should be understood as JP HL/IX/IY.
- IN r,(C) and OUT (C),r instructions syntax is misleading as these instructions actually use the full 16-bit port address contained in BC.
- While the syntax of ADD, ADC and SBC instructions all explicitely mention the A register, the SUB instruction does not mention it.
- The 16-bit commands ADD HL,ss, ADC HL,ss and SBC HL,ss exist but not the command SUB HL,ss.
- When an LDxR / CPxR / INxR / OTxR instruction is interrupted, the interrupt handler sees some flags in a different state. Source
- NMOS Z80 suffers a problem whereby LD A,I and LD A,R record the state of IFF2 after it has been reset if an interrupt is delivered during that instruction. Source
- Z80 is always NMOS on CPC and Plus machines. Source

CPU Pinout
Note: A reset disables the maskable interrupt, selects interrupt mode 0, zeroes registers I & R and zeroes the program counter (PC).
