Note to parents: please don't call it Saint Eric
It is a pretty safe bet that the NXP name will be dropped and the most straightforward way to label the joint venture would be ST-Ericsson — but how boring that would be.
Even if the parent companies called the joint venture Saint Eric, with a tip of the hat to those graffiti artists who would scrawl "Eric is God" with reference to guitarist Eric Clapton, it is still a little obvious.
During a 2009 that could be hard going, although getting better as the year goes on we hope, something unusual by way of a name could at least provide a little welcome humor.
A concatenation of a fruit or a color and a common object, such as GreenSpade, is one way to go, always assuming such words can be trademarked and registered as Internet domain names. What would you like to see as the JV's name?
Or if you are one of the 8,000 employees that are within the joint-venture and you know the name, why not let us know by writing to pclarke@techinsights.com?

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.
Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.
And the winners are:
In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
