This paper describes a fast digital signal processor working on 16 bits data words. Unlike the other systems this processor don't use bit slice components keeping high performance (5 Million instructions per second) and programmation simplicity with a microprocessor-like instruction set. This processor is generally connected to a general computer but its input-output system simplifies real time applications. Experimental results with a formant synthesizer and a linear prediction vocoder are demonstrated.
