Z80 Assembly is an assembly language for the [[wp:Zilog Z80|Zilog Z80]] processor, widelywhich usedwas introduced in embedded1976 systemsand used 1980s home computers such as the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and consumerthe Amstrad CPC electronicsseries.
 
The Z80 is binary compatible with the earlier Intel 8080, but the assembly code is different because instead of having several different commands for loading and storing data, there is only one,<tt>LD</tt>, on the Z80. Therefore, on the assembly level, Z80 code is actually closer to 8086 code when <tt>MOV</tt> is changed to <tt>LD</tt> and the different register structure is taken into account.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z80#Z80_assembly_language</ref>
