A Signal Processor is an electronic circuit that removes information from an analog signal as quantifiable units for further analysys. Most modern Signal Processors are either dedicated microprocessor integrated circuits or general-purpose programmable microprocessors. Jump to: navigation, search Microprocessors, including an Intel 80486DX2 and an Intel 80386 A microprocessor (abbreviated as µP or uP) is a computer electronic component made from miniaturized transistors on a single semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) (aka microchip or just chip). ... An integrated circuit (IC) is a thin chip consisting of at least two interconnected semiconductor devices, mainly transistors, as well as passive components like resistors. ...
