#HappyBirthday 2650! 50 years ago, #Signetics introduced its own 8-bit microprocessor operating at 1.2 MHz (yes, that’s 1,200,000 Hertz 😂). Quiz: What’s more beautiful than a gold-cap ceramic CPU? Answer: A white ceramic one!!!!! (Sound on)

#Signetics (SIGnal NETwork electronICS) was founded by former employees of Fairchild. FAB22 and 23 were built and operated in New Mexico, Albuquerque, hence the sacred sun symbol of the Zia tribe (the New Mexican Flag) in the doodle. Albuquerque hosts every year the international balloon fiesta, hence the hot air balloon as #silicondoodle. Since 1975, Signetics is part of Philips, which became NXP in 2006.

It’s a #HotAirBalloon! The #Signetics P87C52 is an 8-bit microcontroller licensed by #Intel. Next to a unique #silicondoodle in the form of a hot air balloon, the designers of the #chip all put their initials into the Signetics logo - looks like a fun team. Is there still hot air in such microcontroller?
