"Demand continued to accelerate during the second quarter, driven by the widespread adoption of our high-performance analog and DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive  core technology."

"In the second quarter, we saw growth across each of the major end markets we serve. The highest growth came from consumer electronics and from the industrial market which represents a wide range of customers designing factory automation systems, test equipment, medical electronics, and scientific instrumentation instrumentation, in music: see orchestra and orchestration.

. We also saw good revenue growth from the communications and computer markets.

"On a geographic basis, the strongest revenue growth was from North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . Europe, Japan, and the rest of Asia also had good growth within the quarter.

This figure is used mainly in the manufacturing industry. Increases or decreases in a company's backlog indicate the future direction of sales and earnings.
