I'm thinking I got the Roland IR3109 crosslinked in my brain with the
Polycom chip as far as a block diagram.

I didn't realise the Polycom actually had a patent.  Hopefully with this
data ( Thank goodness for Davis Luce being positively insane on being overly
detail oriented, this patent is a real treat ) and a nice photo of the
Polycom die itself maybe this chip can be fully figured out...

Thanks all!
