F-14 CADC

[2] The CADC was a multi-chip integrated flight control system developed by Garrett AiResearch and used in early versions of the US Navy's F-14 Tomcat fighter.

The CADC was designed and built by a team led by Steve Geller and Ray Holt, and supported by the startup American Microsystems.

The CADC consisted of an analog-to-digital converter, several quartz pressure sensors, and a number of MOS-based microchips.

Inputs to the system included the primary flight controls, a number of switches, static and dynamic air pressure (for calculating stall points and aircraft speed) and a temperature gauge.

[5] The CADC's MP944 chip set ran at 375 kHz, executing 9375 instructions per second and was based on a 20-bit fixed-point-fraction two's complement number system.
