"SiPort Releases Single-Chip Solution"

"The Silicon Valley company says its SP1010 single-chip solution for
HD Radio draws the lowest power of all IBOC chips — 110 milliwatts,
roughly equivalent to 15 to 20 hours of battery life on a portable
device, spokesman Sunder Velamuri told Radio World. That compares to a
prototype KRI armband MP3 player/HD Radio receiver that iBiquity
displayed in its booth at CES, the smallest device that an IBOC chip
has been integrated into so far. That device uses 500 milliwatts of
power and would last between six to eight hours after one charge,
Velamuri estimated."

Folks - the new SiPort HD Radio chip uses 110mw in HD Radio PLAYBACK
mode, only. Three times more power probably required, the same as the
iBiquity cheesy armband receiver, in HD Radio live-mode! Postng
everywhere - LOL!
