In 1978, [[American Microsystems]] (AMI) released the S2811.<ref name="computerhistory1979"/><ref name="edn"/> The AMI S2811 "signal processing peripheral", like many later DSPs, has a hardware multiplier that enables it to do [[multiply–accumulate operation]] in a single instruction.<ref>Alberto Luis Andres. [http://scholarworks.csun.edu/bitstream/handle/10211.3/126902/AndresAlberto1983.pdf "Digital Graphic Audio Equalizer"]. p. 48.</ref> The S2281 was the first [[integrated circuit]] chip specifically designed as a DSP, and fabricated using [[VMOS]] (V-groove MOS), a technology that had previously not been mass-produced.<ref name="edn"/> It was designed as a microprocessor peripheral, for the [[Motorola 6800]],<ref name="computerhistory1979"/> and it had to be initialized by the host. The S2811 was not successful in the market.

In 1979, [[Intel]] released the 2920 as an "analog signal processor".<ref>https://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/General/35yrs.pdf#page=17 {{Dead link|date=February 2022}} {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref> It had an on-chip ADC/DAC with an internal signal processor, but it didn't have a hardware multiplier and was not successful in the market.

In 1980, the first stand-alone, complete DSPs – [[Nippon Electric Corporation]]'s [[NEC µPD7720]] and [[AT&T Corporation|AT&T]]'s [[AT&T DSP1|DSP1]] – were presented at the [[International Solid-State Circuits Conference]] '80. Both processors were inspired by the research in [[public switched telephone network]] (PSTN) [[telecommunication]]s. The µPD7720, introduced for [[voiceband]] applications, was one of the most commercially successful early DSPs.<ref name="computerhistory1979"/>
