I am getting samples right now.  I asked for 5 of the wide temperature
range version ADuC7024BST62 which they are sending along with 3 of the
standard temp versions that I didn't ask for.  They are even sending
them by FedEx.  

I don't understand your other comment.  What is higher end about the
Philips parts vs. the ADI parts?  In fact, I think the Philips parts
are a bit cheaper.  Typically ADI tries to focus on precision and
charges a bit more.  In this case their ADC can do 1 MSPS at 12 bits
or other vesions do a full 16 bit ADC.  I have been told that the
lowest cost chip starts at $5 qty 1000.  I know Philips can get under
that.  Am I mistaken in thinking all the Philips parts have ADC?  It
has been awhile since I have looked at their data sheets.  

BTW, if this is useful to people here that's fine.  But this thread
might be discussed better at the ADuC_ARM group.
