Full page ad in EETimes: "The First ADC to deliver both 14 bits and 65MPS" The AD6644 high-performance ADC enabling the future software radio. Today, celluar signals contain far more than just voice. New data standards such as DAMPS, GSM, EDGE, CDMA, and WCDMA require highly-programmable radio receivers in the celluar base station, including high-performance ADC's such as the new AD6644. The AD6644 acurately digitizes multiple channels of all 2G and 3G air signals (30Mhz wide) with extremely low noise (SNR=74dB) and low distortion. No other ADC offers this combination of bandwidth, signal integrity, and dynamic range. Future radios using the AD6644 will be smaller, less costly to make, and reprogrammable to easily meet emerging standards. Available now..... The future of software radio is shipping today with high-performance ADC's from ANALOG DEVICES. BOLDED AND COLOR: "THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE BRAND FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE ANALOG ICs." IMHO, there is not a single technology that is driving ADI. ADSL, VPN (Virtual Private Networks- see IREG) and DSP's for motor control are all growth areas that are ramping up nicely. The real world is analog and ADI products fit nicely in just about any product :>) Jim

Wednesday August 9 1:27 PM ET Analog Devices' Stock Rises Ahead of Earnings Report NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shares of Analog Devices Inc. (NYSE:ADI - news), which makes computer chips that transform sound and video into digital data, rose on Wednesday in anticipation of good earnings news when the company reports its third-quarter results next week. Shares of Analog Devices, or ADI, gained 3-1/4 to 66-1/8 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock has traded between 22 and 100 in the past year. Wall Street analysts are expecting the company to report profits of 37 cents per share, according to forecasting firm First Call/Thomson Financial. ``Their business ought to be pretty strong right here,'' SG Cowen technology analyst Drew Peck said. ``I think people are taking positions in advance of the earnings.'' The stock also presented a buying opportunity since it was unfairly dragged down by general weakness in the chip sector. ``The linear semiconductor business is booming,'' said Peck, who has a strong buy rating on the stock and is expecting earnings of 36 cents per share. ADI was also expected to report a good future outlook when it released its earnings, said Greg Mischou, semiconductor analyst at UBS Warburg. Mischou, who has a buy rating on the stock, said he was expecting the company to report earnings per share of 37 cents and total sales of $652 million. dailynews.yahoo.com
