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 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.

None of this matters as HD radio is dead anyway. Thank God.

They're finally putting it in lots of cars. (You usually have to wait a
design cycle to make a major change in the built-ins). That's going to
be a big help only if the radios work. If they don't perform at least
as well as satellite, they're toast.

Why would anyone flame this news? This is terrible. Do you know why the
test engineer went berserk? I can't believe the reason stated. If it was
me I would just quit and work somewhere else. I have actually done this
in the past so it's not just words.

The flame comes from pointing out that the CEO, HR, and operations
person are not really needed. [Hey, I'm sorry they died, but the
product will live.] In most technology companies, the brass doesn't
understand the technology, at least in anything but the most cursory
simplistic level. However, they don't have to understand what is
happening. If you don't produce something that works, you get fired.

One of the chip companies I worked at had a revision nomenclature that
went A B C F I R E D. If you don't get it working by the D rev, you
are history. Most chips need at least one rev, maybe two. I don't
believe I did anything that required three revs.
