The age of DSP. Consider this analogy. The digital signal processor chip occupies the same central role in the telecommunications revolution as the Intel microprocessor did in the PC revolution. The new network is all about turning analog signals into digital ones -- turning voice into digital data and then back into voice, for example. You'll find digital signal processors in wireless phones, VCRs, camcorders, and modems -- anywhere, in fact, that the analog world of sound and light and touch has to be converted to digital form. Now, no company has the kind of 85% market dominance that Intel has achieved in microprocessors and I don't think it's likely that any one company will. The DSP business isn't about turning out volumes of basically identical chips, but instead about adapting a best-of-its-class chip to a specific product and use. But this market is growing at about 40% a year -- at least twice as fast as the PC chip business.

Best bet: Texas Instruments (TXN), a Jubak's Pick on August 22 ("Itching at the Trigger"). The company owns about 45% of the DSP market and combines manufacturing skills (and volume) with the engineering depth to adapt its chips to new products
