I mean, who's going to go into a meeting and suggest using stuff like Qorivva or QorIQ Qonverge or Vybrid?

Somebody who has an application where the Freescale products work better th= an the competitions?
Electronics design isn't about putting together harmonious collections of e= asily pronounced names, and anybody who did real electronics, as opposed to= bespoke catering to physicists' prejudices, would be aware of this.
And my low distortion oscillator is doing fine, though I could do with a so= urce of 12-pin RM14 coil formers. Farnell claimed to stock them, but delive= red 10-pin parts labelled with the EPCOS 12-pin part number, and are now pr= omising delivery of the real thing in week 40 (October).
I may be able to get one of the Ferroxcube equivalents from Japan or Switze= rland, but neither distributor has got back to me yet.
When we had to come up with a fancy, unused, product name for my former employer , It was a form of DIFFICULT which rhymes with "WITCH". Not easy to do, to find a new trademarkable name. We finally found one that stood the "Google" test, meaning a Google search returned something like "Whats that, we can't find it?"
I feel sorry for the medical guys, some of the unique names they have to come up with are just plain wierd. They ran out of the good stuff long ago. What is /was a "Zoloft" for example, before they picked it for the name. I cant find it in English.

You make it sound like having customers is a Bad Thing.
But few of my customers are physicists. Physicists don't often have a lot of money to spend.

I wonder what makes you think that? For the record, having customers is the fundamental good thing, and I'd love to have a few, but not enough to flatter nitwits in the hope of turning them into customers.
So the guys who put together the National Ignition Facility weren't physicists?

Well, your standards are pretty high. You would no doubt consider most of my customers to be nitwits. Since they would probably consider you to be an inflexible fathead, you'll both be happier staying away from one another. Best to stick to designing oscillators that nobody wants.
I did meet a few, but at my level it was an engineering problem, and I mostly worked with engineers. All we had to do was make trigger pulses around the site, and poke some waveforms into some lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder modulators.
More like 6e9, I've heard. They did buy our building.

Perhaps not. You may be better than the alternatives.

I'd be surprised if there was much of market for the oscillator I'm now try= ing to put together. Getting good amplitude stability and low harmonic cont= ent does mean spending money on expensive components, so it isn't going to = be cheap, though it does look as if it's going to be cheap way of getting t= he quality the simulations suggest it may offer. =20
