Broadcom's qualified components i= nclude a full suite of radio and baseband chips, as well as Link Manager Pr= otocol (LMP) firmware, providing end-to-end enabling technology for a range= of Bluetooth applications. This means that devices developed using Broadco= m's Blutonium(TM) chips and firmware can attain Bluetooth qualification wit= h minimal effort, accelerating the time-to-market for these products. "Ou= r Blutonium line provides our customers with unmatched flexibility in the d= evelopment of their pre-qualified Bluetooth products," said Scott Bibaud, D= irector of Bluetooth Marketing for Broadcom. "With multiple Bluetooth-quali= fied basebands and radios, as well as a qualified LMP, Broadcom can provide= equipment developers with the solution that's right for their application.= " The Blutonium line consists of two standalone all-CMOS Bluetooth radios= , the Broadcom(R) BCM2001 for general applications and the BCM2002X, a radi= o-only chip optimized for use in mobile phones. In addition, the family inc= ludes two baseband processor chips, the BCM2039 standalone baseband and the= BCM2019 host-based baseband chip that includes no on-board processor and i= nstead leverages the processor of its host device. Broadcom's LMP firmware = stack provides the processor logic that manages connections between Bluetoo= th devices. "One of the benefits of Bluetooth is the ability to allow man= y different types of data devices to share information over the air," Bibau= d said. "As a result, no `one-size-fits-all' solution can truly accommodate= the breadth of applications created by this technology. We've developed th= e Blutonium line to include a variety of Bluetooth-qualified silicon and sy= stem solutions to enable whatever applications our customers dream up, prov= iding functionality optimized for their product needs and getting those pro= ducts through the qualification process and to the market in short order." = With high receiver sensitivity and excellent blocking performance, the Bl= utonium product line is ideally suited to perform well in harsh radio frequ= ency (RF) environments such as inside mobile phones and laptop computers or= in geographical areas with high concentrations of radio interference. Blut= onium supports the complete Bluetooth 1.1 feature set, including full data = rate, seven slave piconet with master/slave switching, and scatternet. Manu= factured in a standard digital CMOS process, the Blutonium line features hi= gh levels of integration, incorporating all RF circuits on-chip and requiri= ng very few external passive components, which reduces system cost and boar= d space requirements. Qualifications of the BCM2001 and BCM2002 were perf= ormed by Hyper Corporation, a Bluetooth Qualification Body (BQB) in Pleasan= ton, California, while qualifications of the BCM2019 and BCM2039 were perfo= rmed by 7 Layers, a BQB located in Irvine, California. The qualification pr= ocess consisted of testing of the baseband chips and LMP firmware, as well = as some radio testing by the BQBs, and verification of test data against sp= ecifications set by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). In accordan= ce with these procedures, Hyper and 7 Layers performed testing and reviewed= Broadcom's test results, verifying compliance of the transceivers and ensu= ring that products using the chips will be eligible to bear the Bluetooth l= ogo. The Broadcom transceivers were qualified with no waivers. About Broa= dcom Broadcom Corporation is the leading provider of highly integrated sil= icon solutions that enable broadband communications and networking of voice= , video and data services. Using proprietary technologies and advanced desi= gn methodologies, Broadcom designs, develops and supplies complete system-o= n-a-chip solutions and related applications for digital cable set-top boxes= and cable modems, high-speed local, metropolitan and wide area and optical= networks, home networking, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), carrier ac= cess, residential broadband gateways, direct broadcast satellite and terres= trial digital broadcast, digital subscriber lines (xDSL), wireless communic= ations, System I/O(TM) server solutions and network processing.
