I suspect the Clipper chip will be used heavily in digital cellular phones, if it isn't too much of a power hog. I seriously doubt it. I could easily have done DES in software on our CDMA digital cellphones using spare cycles in the CPU we already have (a '186) had I been allowed to do so. Why should I re-engineer my already designed products to use a $30 IC instead? Power is not the only issue. Phil
