Whether the project will bear fruit is perhaps questionable
Zilog's classic Z80 chip is soon to be dead, though it might not be gone forever if one open source project succeeds in its goal to clone the legendary processor.outlines its plans to revive and preserve the Z80 with a physical silicon clone. The project is ostensibly a reaction toannouncement for the Z80, which was introduced in 1976 and was used in many of Texas Instruments' calculators; gaming consoles like the Sega Master System; the ZX Spectrum; and many other devices.
"It is time for open source and hardware preservation community to step in with a Free and Open Source Silicon replacement for Zilog Z80," the project's GitHub page says."Goal: To develop a drop-in Z80 replacement in 8-bit home computers such as ZX Spectrum." Tiny Tapeout uses a near-25-year-old process node, which keeps costs down, and operates a shuttle service with Efabless. People submit their open source projects to be included in the next production run, and if accepted into a shuttle, will have their individual designs consolidated into one relatively large die. SeeMultiple large dies are then fitted onto wafers and manufactured, then put into chips, and distributed to those whose projects are in the large die.
