 Family of digital signal processors |
The Motorola DSP56000 (also known as 56K) is a family of digital signal processor (DSP) chips produced by Motorola Semiconductor (later Freescale Semiconductor and then NXP) starting in 198612345 with later models still being produced in the 2020s. Upgraded 56k versions are still used today in audio equipment, radar systems, communications devices (like mobile phones) and various other embedded DSP applications. The 56000 was also used as the basis for the updated 96000, which was not commercially successful.
