The last time I looked a few months ago there was still no news of HD
integrated chips on the web sites of the semiconductor manufactures that
made press releases to that effect. All I can find are press releases
that claim future development. I can not find any progress on those
developments so as far as I know they are all vaporware.


No new HD integrated chips = no new low power designed radios.


If anyone has a link to samples, actual production, or data sheets of HD
integrated chips please post a link to them.

I understand that SiPort test engineer Jing Hua Wu flipped out when
told to work on HD radio chips. *To quote him - "HD radio is junk
technology. *It's a worthless endeavor and I won't do it." *The he got
a gun and the rest is history.


Can't blame him for not wanting to do it myself.


The news links you are posting are secure. I can't get to it.

The short story is a test engineer at SiPort killed 3 other employees:
CEO, operations manager, and HR. The reality is the project can go
forward without these people. No flames please. I know the chip
business. This doesn't kill the project presuming the money still
flows.

I worked in one chip company where a designer got hit by a car and
pretty much that killed the design due to temporary amnesia. He
recovered nicely though.
