Someone made a mistake. All the references to a radio on a chip on
the
Samsung site were analog. Looks like there is some confusion here
as
they do have chips for satellite and HD but not AMBCB and FMBCB.


Your mistake is depending on a website for data only of interest to
manufacturers, iBiquity and its shareholders. The chip is, obviously,
digital as HD is digital.

Your mistake is that they announce any semiconductor development on
their web site. They may limit the amount of data for proprietary
reasons but all projects are announced with some detail.



Telemon,
Why would a semiconductor company announce all their development
projects
on
the internet? This would tell all their competitors what they are
doing.
Most companies do not disclose development activities until there is a
competitive reason to do so.


Likely there is a point in development, like just prior to shipping, when
a
development becomes public. Since the HD chip is only shipping in
development quantities to radio manufacturers, the formal announcement
may
not have been made... but that is just a guess.


Baloney. Sales is chomping at the bit to release the news to build
demand well in advance of actual production. It's the same anywhere for
any manufacturer. Blow your smoke someplace else.


There are no radios announced yet. The public has no interest in chips, only
in devices. The work now is helping manufacturers design receivers of all
kinds. The publicity phase begins when there are products.
