The digital flight control computer was an upgrade for the Block 40
configuration. First flight was in 1987. See

The production F-16 digital flight control computer is currently programmed
in the JOVIAL language, whereas the F-22 digital flight control system is
programmed in Ada.

I believe you're thinking of the F-16 MMC (Modular Mission Computer), which
is an upgrade to the (already-digital) airborne mission avionics. Part of
this upgrade was to implement the mission algorithms in Ada. See

The digital flight control computer is an entirely separate system.
