===Other chips=== After the Z80 Zilog introduced the [[16-bit computing|16-bit]] [[Z8000]] and [[32-bit computing|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 circuit|application-specific integrated circuits/standard product]]s (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 [[Mac (computer)|Macintosh]], [[Sun Microsystems|Sun]] [[SPARCstation]]s 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).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.old-computers.com/history/detail.asp?n=52&t=3 |title=ZILOG Z8000|work=old-computers.com|access-date=2008-04-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230626062517/http://www.old-computers.com/history/detail.asp?n=52&t=3|archive-date=2023-06-26|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="fiedler198310">{{cite news | url=https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1983-10/1983_10_BYTE_08-10_UNIX#page/n133/mode/2up | title=The Unix Tutorial / Part 3: Unix in the Microcomputer Marketplace | work=BYTE | date=October 1983 | access-date=30 January 2015 | last=Fiedler |first=Ryan | pages=132}}</ref> Zilog attempted to enter the 32-bit microcontroller market in February 2006 with the demonstration of [[ARM9]]-based Point-Of-Sale ([[Point of sale|POS]]) microcontroller product line.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://investor.zilog.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=107835&p=irol-newsArticle&t=Regular&id=812418& |title=ZiLOG(R) Unveils 32-Bit ARM-9(R) Application-Specific Strategy to Focus on Security and Point-of-Sale Markets |publisher=Zilog |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120710053911/http://investor.zilog.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=107835&p=irol-newsArticle&t=Regular&id=812418& |archive-date=2012-07-10 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.microcontroller.com/news/zilog_arm.asp |title=New ZiLOG ARM9 Microcontroller Product Line}}</ref> The final product was released in 2007 called Zatara.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://investor.zilog.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=107835&p=irol-newsArticle&t=Regular&id=1053622& |title=Zilog Leads the Secure Transactions Market with New 32-bit High Security Zatara(TM) Series ARM(R) Core Based ASSP |publisher=Zilog |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120710053128/http://investor.zilog.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=107835&p=irol-newsArticle&t=Regular&id=1053622& |archive-date=2012-07-10 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Sales were disappointing and the entire ARM9 series was sold to Maxim Integrated Products in 2009.
