In 1975 he started a group to work on large-scale integration for use in the telephone industry, resulting in various commercial products: first commercial monolithic telephone (named "CODEC"), [11] first commercial switched-capacitor filter (for use with CODEC), a microprocessor for real-time digitizing analog signals , and speech recognition ...

American engineer Ted Hoff (born 1937) is credited with changing the face of the world as one of the key people behind the creation of the first microprocessor. While working for Intel in 1969, he developed the architecture that made a single-chip Central Processing Unit(CPU) possible. That product came on the market as the Intel 4004 in 1971 and t...
Hoff was born Marcian Edward Hoff, Jr. on October 28, 1937, in Rochester, New York. His father, who worked in railway signaling and his uncle, a chemical engineer, were big influences on him as a boy, and encouraged his early interest in science. Chemistry was his first love, but that affection waned after Hoff was told there was no practical caree...
In 1968, Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andrew Grove founded the Intel Development Corporation (Intel was shorthand for integrated electronics). Noyce, who served as the start-up's president, had helped invent the integrated circuit. The new company had been established with the idea of developing semiconductor memory, but Hoff was not aware of th...
It is important to note that the computers of the 1960s were quite different animals from those of later years. They were huge, for instance, often requiring acre-sized rooms. Circuit chips were needed for each application a computer performed, as opposed to a single chip, or “brain,” that could run programs. Personal computers did not exist, and f...
Following up his opening career act could hardly have been an easy matter, but Hoff was not one to rest on his laurels. He was, for example, involved with the second and third generations of the 4004, the 8008 and 8080, respectively, as were Mazor and Faggin. In 1975, he turned his considerable abilities toward the telephone industry, at the behest...

Marcian “Ted” Hoff (PhD '62 EE), is best known as the architect of the first microprocessor. Intel’s 4004 was released in November 1971, 35 years ago this month. The history that his ingenuity helped spawn is now the subject of a new DVD, the Microprocessor Chronicles.

Dr. Hoff: We built a speech recogni-tion system that used our digital signal processor for the analog input and con-ventional microprocessors for the subse-quent recognition. It included a type of state machine to reduce the amount of vocabulary search needed at each point in the recognition process.
