In the July 1999 issue of "Embedded Systems Development", there was a small add for a "Low-Power Chip Adds Internet Functionality" by Seiko Instruments USA, Inc. (www.seiko-usa-ecd.com > ) Unfortunately the web site did not provide any information. According to the release: "the iChip S7600A TCP/IP Protocol Stack allows Web browsing, email, and networking to be added to consumer or commercial devices easily and inexpensively. It permits users to access the Internet, or any network that utilizes the TCP/IP protocol, using their PDAs, organizers, cell phones, or even pagers. Adding Internet functionality to these types of devices is possible by simply selecting any other pre-defined component, such as a resistor or controller. Running at a speed of 256kHz, the iChip consumes less than 3 mW in typical operation. It is available currently at a cost of $8 in 1000-unit quantities." A picture shows the chip to be about 1/4th the size of a stamp and have 12 pins per side (surface mount). David V.
