Broadcom Introduces High-Performance Single-Chip All-CMOS Bluetooth Radio   MONTE CARLO, Monaco, Jun 4, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Bluetooth Congress 2001   Blutonium(TM) Chip Combines Radio and Baseband Functions on           Monolithic High-Performance Single-Chip Transceiver  Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq:BRCM), the leading provider of integrated circuits enabling broadband communications, today introduced the Broadcom(R) BCM2033 single-chip transceiver for Bluetooth(TM) wireless applications. Integrating previously developed, Bluetooth-compliant radio and baseband components onto a single high-performance integrated circuit, the chip minimizes component counts and board space requirements while providing a high-performance solution to the Bluetooth short-range wireless connectivity challenges faced by equipment manufacturers.   The Blutonium(TM) BCM2033 achieves the highest performance of any single-chip Bluetooth transceiver in the industry, combining Bluetooth-qualified radio and baseband circuits onto a single monolithic chip. On-board Fractional-N synthesizer technology allows the chip to work with practically any reference frequency available. This is especially useful in current and third generation (3G) cellular phones in which a wide variety of crystal oscillators are available. Featuring high levels of integration and minimal off-chip filters or other active components, the BCM2033 provides excellent performance in the presence of radio interferers and is ideally suited for harsh radio frequency (RF) environments, such as inside mobile phones and laptop computers. In addition, the chip's unique design allows it to maintain its high performance even across the extended temperature range of between -40 and +105 degrees centigrade, an accomplishment unparalleled in the industry.   "With our previously announced Blutonium products, we demonstrated our unique ability to achieve outstanding radio performance designing chips in a standard digital CMOS process," said K.C. Murphy, Vice President and General Manager of Broadcom's RF and Advanced Mixed Signal Business Unit. "We've now applied Broadcom's well-known integration expertise by combining RF and digital circuits onto a single substrate while maintaining unmatched performance among Bluetooth transceivers. As a result, we're unveiling the single-chip Bluetooth transceiver the industry has been waiting for, with performance exceeding that of practically any other solution, regardless of the process technology."   The BCM2033 is based upon Broadcom's previous all-CMOS stand-alone radios and basebands that have already achieved Bluetooth Version 1.1 qualification and which exceed the Bluetooth specification in most areas. This means that devices such as mobile phones and PC cards built using Blutonium components are compatible with the latest version of the Bluetooth specification, easing the process by which these devices can apply the Bluetooth logo to their products. The BCM2033 benefits from this previous development, achieving strong performance in key areas such as linearity and receiver sensitivity, attaining a sensitivity figure of better than -82 dBm.   Integration of the previously developed circuits onto a single chip was made possible because the entire Blutonium line, like all Broadcom chip products, was developed in a standard digital CMOS (or Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) manufacturing process. No other process allows the combination of RF and digital circuits on a single transceiver.   "By first proving our radio and baseband architectures in CMOS with standalone products, we've chosen to emphasize performance in our Bluetooth component development program," said Scott Bibaud, Director of Marketing for Broadcom's Bluetooth Products. "With these multiple Blutonium elements integrated onto a single cost-effective chip, we can now leverage Broadcom's proven reputation for operational excellence and provide these components in production quantities to our customers around the world."   Key Features  The BCM2033 has been designed to provide very high performance in Bluetooth applications with a single transceiver. Notable features include:   --  Strong spurious emissions performance -- the BCM2033 minimizes     interference from transmissions taking place in the bands used by     mobile phones, providing robust connections between Bluetooth     devices.  --  Exceptional blocking performance -- the highly linear design     eliminates the need for costly off-chip RF filtering to receive     reliable signals from other Bluetooth devices.  --  Fractional-N Synthesizer -- this synthesizer enables the 2033 to     use any existing frequency reference, including those commonly     available in mobile phones such as CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, GPRS, and     UMTS, eliminating the need for an off-chip crystal.  --  Extensive software support -- the BCM2033 is software-compatible     with protocol stacks developed by leading third party stack     vendors, as well as with Broadcom's internal stack.  --  Cost-effective memory architecture -- on-chip memory eliminates     the need for off-chip flash while allowing the use of additional     memory when appropriate.  --  Requires minimal off-chip components -- by eliminating all     external active components, the BCM2033 requires just a few     passive components, providing very limited bill of materials (BOM)     and board space impact on OEM equipment designs.     Availability  The version of the BCM2033 with no external memory bus is packaged in a 64-pin fine pitch Ball Grid Array (fpBGA) and the version with external flash interfaces is packaged in a 100-pin fpBGA. The transceiver is sampling now to early access customers.
