converter is the most preferred A/D
conversion technique employed in

4004, was introduced by Intel in 1968. It was

a 4 bit processor, but later it has introduced a
new processor almost every year, like 8080,
8085, 8086, 8031 and 8051. Only 8086
processor handles 16 bit data and a micro
computer was developed based on this
processor. Intel also introduced 80186,
80286, 80386, 80486 and made possible to
get mini computers and personal computers.
Other

companies

like

Texas

instruments, Motorola, Zilog and Analog

devices have specialized in signal processing
processors,

communication

oriented

processors, better architectural processor,

and discrete signal processing devices.
All the advancements mentioned above
are made possible because of continuous
upgradation of VLSI technology. Some of
the features like cache, pipelining and branch
prediction have contributed for improving
performance

parameters,

like

execution

speed, large memory, fast data transfers and

reduction in number of instructions. A
transformation has been seen from CISC to
RISC.
Identification of application and its
potential

for

marketing

provides

the

opportunity to companies to produce ASICs

sometimes. Digital Signal Processors are
employed for processing streamed data of
either voice or video data.
