Laurence Marchini, Editor, writes:
Politicians are an entertaining lot, aren't they? Around the world and across all political complexions, the principal role of the politician is not so very different from that of any other public relations professional.
It's all a matter of spin - and once you accept this doctrine, that's when they start to become entertaining, rather than annoying. (Nobody can have failed to be entertained by the words of the former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.)
But when politicians start to talk technology, they had better make sure that their briefings are accurate. History is littered with some wonderful political gaffes when classics or arts educated politicians feel the need to step into a technological argument.
Having personally interviewed many British politicians over the years, I can personally testify to many tales of ineptitude (but have chosen not to do so on the grounds that in most cases, the MP or Minister concerned was clearly only repeating what he or she had been told, and could very easily deny it later).
But these days politics is a multimedia experience, and any politician with half an ego is more likely to commit his or her thoughts to their own website. So step forward US Congressman Darrell Issa (www.issa.house.gov) with his thoughts on why CDMA is so superior to GSM.
For the benefit of those who have so far missed the story, Congressman Issa is keen that US companies should benefit most from the reconstruction of Iraq, and has proposed that the country's mobile network should be rebuilt based on CDMA rather than GSM.
According to Issa, CDMA is "…widely recognized (sic) as technically superior to European GSM technology". Well, he would say that, wouldn't he if the only people he asked were those of his Californian constituents with a vested interest. However, his real agenda is not hidden when he warns that (if GSM were chosen) "royalties paid on the technology would flow to French and European sources, not US patent holders".
I think it is safe to say that the congressman will not be vacationing in France this year. Perhaps it would also be best if Iraq was able to choose its own mobile technology.
I hope you find this issue of our weekly newsletter useful. In addition to the new products, news and ideas featured here, there are hundreds more on our website and dozens more being added daily, so do take a look if you can.
Alternatively, the full stories behind all the summaries and headlines in this newsletter can be retrieved by email alone: see details below.

OUR TOP TEN NEW PRODUCTS SELECTION
=======================================================
1. Six-IGBT module simplifies drives for white goods
Next month at PCIM Europe 2003 Toshiba will be showing a compact and intelligent IGBT module it says will dramatically simplify the design and reduce the component count of three-phase inverter systems. The new board-mounting MIG10J503H will be particularly suited to washing machines and other next-generation appliances requiring cost-effective, efficient and quiet three-phase motor drive solutions. Toshiba's MIG10J503H is a 10A, 600V power module that integrates six IGBTs, fast recovery diodes (FRDs) and high levels of intelligence into a compact package measuring just 63 x 23 x 10.5mm.

2. Fast route to low-volume ASICs
In March 2003, Accent celebrated its tenth year of successful operation. Over this last decade, Accent, one of the leading design houses in Europe, has grown into a very successful company with unparalleled expertise. With its 120 people, of whom more than 100 engineers, Accent has been providing services for complex SoC design to a wide range of customers. The company serves the deep-submicron, high-complexity SoC design market down to 0.13um for telecomms, automotive, consumer, medical and industrial applications. Building on this experience, Accent is now introducing "Highway to Silicon".
