nice to see you back around the 'hood, ray. with VTSS, i wuz beginning to think: wavlist.com you know, what with xD brothers having moved away. re: InP, i sent you this back in september; yes, i realize it's a photonic year ago on internet time: >Peter Chadbourne, marketing manager for Sonet transmission at Lucent, said this is only the first step in a plan to mix four separate processes -- GaAs, biCMOS, SiGe and indium phosphide (InP) -- to cover a range of applications spanning 2.5 to 40 Gbits/s. By the end of the year, 10-Gbit GaAs parts will integrate drivers, limiting amps and transimpedance amps in one die. At the same time, Lucent will move to its first 10-Gbit SiGe parts, integrating clock synthesis and muxing in a transmit part and clock-data recovery and demuxing in a receive part. By 2002, Chadbourne predicted, the SiGe process could move transmit and receive blocks to 40 Gbits/s, though the transimpedance and driver functions for 40-Gbit Sonet will have to be implemented in InP.< Message 11264953 but what you found(!) confirms what Tomasetta & Co. alluded to in the most recent CC: Message 12880076 like i said, i hadn't heard of the stuff back then and unfortunately, didn't follow-up with a moment's due dilly. i like the ring to Indium Phosphide though -- sounds like a righteous cocktail. i'm doing the alterna-Green Day thing tonight. will be bar-hopping Mexican joints. i'll will be sure to ask for a slash of InP in my margarita verde. Happy San Patricio Day! connemara.net forgive me, it's friday. -chris.

ray. while i was off on the Roman Holiday, gorging myself on fava beans and a nice chianti (ok, more like spaghetti alla vongole and sangiovese tuscano, but it just doesn't have the same ring), it appears that this board carbo-coma'd right through the Broadcom 10-GE chip announcement! bravo! as this press release has all the charm of Multiple Miggs. and more double meanings than one of Lecter's infamous anagrams. oh, stop me. i caught some filming of Hannibal, the Silence of the Lambs sequel, in Firenze on the Ponte Vecchio. alas, there was no two-minute-long gratuitous scene of Julianne Moore bottomless (cf. Robert Altman's Short Cuts). mama mia, i was on my honeymoon! btw, thanks for asking: indeed, the italian trifecta consisted of the Tiber, Arno and Po. well, it's exceedingly gauche of me to bring up the river theme when that's clearly AMCC's waters. let's move over there, shall we? buon apetito, -chris. ----- PMCS' take: "We believe that Broadcom's announcement is a joke." Message 13737735 AMCC's take: "This is largely a marketing ploy. This is far from ... reality." Message 13739200 EET's take: eetimes.com
