CAC Overview

In 1987 Communication Automation Corporation introduced the first PC plug-in board to break the $100 per MFLOPS price barrier. Based on the WE-DSP32 from AT&T, the first single-chip floating-point DSP, it opened up new fields previously restricted by the PC's performance and prohibitive costs of floating-point accelerators. Since then, we have expanded our line to include fixed-point and floating-point DSPs from Texas Instruments, IDT's RISC processors and a variety of telecom interfaces. Our VME, cPCI, PCI, SCSI and PC-card boards span the price and performance range from a $20/MFLOPS PC board to a 32,000 MIPS 6U VME board. Our latest product line, QuicKit Telephony, combines the highest-density DSP products available with a most flexible architecture to offer OEMs a rapid prototyping system for leading edge DSP applications.

CAC is a privately held corporation, incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
