http://www.rwonline.com/ shows the cover of the current Radio World
magazine, where the lead article is about the Samsung chip, built around a
SHDR100A peripheral processor and the SDHR200A main processor and flash and
RAM memory and which is currently available. The article discusses the
power
requirements and all kinds of other HD developments shown at CES, including
the SiPort chip, which is also available to manufacturers now. Both consume
between 120 and 180 mW of power. Both chips are intended for integrated
devices.

If you qualify for an online subscription, you can read the entire article.

I looked at the SiPort web page and the company is just a shell company
composed of management types. The news and events page just states "stay
tuned." This has not changed since last spring when I looked them up.

I can only find two Radio World articles about them from last spring and
one even older article about them here from 2005, which is a press
release from the CEO.

The Samsung semiconductor web page does not have these part numbers. The
prefix does not appear to be a part of their part numbering scheme. Try
your luck here and let me know if you find anything.

Pardon me for replying to my own post but here is some information from
TI. The following link is their concept HD radio, which could also be
used for other digital radio formats such as DRM. The information here
is kind of dated. TI produces entire lines of DSP/CPU chips that can be
programed to do just just about anything you would want.

What is significant to note here is that they have not developed a
reference design, or have application notes, and have not developed any
specific tools for this application. Since iBiquity owns this
proprietary software scheme you would have to have a license for a copy
on the EEPROM in the block diagram.

Note that the news release at the bottom is 2/6/2006.
