Diosdado Banatao, a Filipino engineer born in 1946, developed the first single-chip 16-bit microprocessor in the 1970s, allowing for faster processing of data using graphics on smaller computer chips rather than larger circuit boards. This invention paved the way for graphics and visual commands on early computers.

2. INVENTOR
Diosdado P. Banatao
Diosdado ‘Dado’
Banatao, was born on
May 23, 1946, is a
Filipino entrepreneur
and engineer, a native
from Cagayan Valley,
developed the first
single-chip 16-bit
microprocessor-based
calculator in the 1970s.

3. INVENTION
16-bit Microchip
This invention allows
user to use graphics on
commands not the
common typed commands
installed on older
computers. With the chip
it, it will allow the
processing of data in little
faster with a little space
(small chips installed
instead of larger boards).
