ICs and semiconductors

Article Abstract:

The digital-signal-processing chip from Texas Instruments may mark the start of general-purpose use of these DSP devices. The TI TM320 chip is the first DSP device which is also a 1-chip microcomputer incorporating a powerful arithmetic-logic unit and multiplier. The wide use expected of this chip will probably allow a reduction in price to the $10 level considered the threshhold for general market penetration.

EDN's eighth annual microprocessor-microcomputer chip directory

Article Abstract:

After 10 years the microprocessor revolution has reached maturity with very large and foreign corporations beginning to dominate. The microprocessor has won a position as the foundation of almost all electronic applications. Opportunities for OEM designers lie in the design of such products as sophisticated controllers, 16- and 32-bit machine applications, and micromainframe implementation.

Digital signal processing advances slowly but steadily

Article Abstract:

Digital signal processing chips are seen as a major advance in chip technology. The complex nature of DSP devices has slowed down development. The advantages of DSP are expected to be low-cost general programmability and bus compatibility.
