25.9 Conclusions: General Trends<br />

The story goes like this. In 1982, when Texas Instruments’ (TI) engineers came up with their first generalpurpose<br />

chip for DSP applications, they did not know how to call it. Terms like analog microprocessor<br />

or signal microprocessor sounded cumbersome for the user. Therefore, an engineer said, “why don’t we<br />

confuse the chip and its application? In other words why don’t we use the term DSP (digital signal<br />

processing) to describe our chip?” Hence, the DSP (digital signal processor) was born. Unfortunately,<br />

this still brings confusion 20 years later.
