Hi Jeremy and all others,

it seems the 1Gsa a/d-converters are really for free...

I can soon make me a nice I/Q A/D-Converter board.
Stay tuned...

Maybe I don't know the IC industry very well, but I don't see TI
giving away too many free samples of a $775 chip to people who aren't
serious about buying in quantity at the $775 price.  Single chip cost
from Digi-Key is nearly $900 USD each.
