BCM21551 - Single-Chip 65-nm HSUPA + RF + BT + FM + Multimedia SoC

Single-Chip 65-nm HSUPA + RF + BT + FM + Multimedia SoC

The BCM21551 is an advanced, single-chip, 65-nm HSUPA/WCDMA/EDGE SoC with fully integrated 2G and 3G RF transceivers, Bluetooth, FM and mixed-signal analog. Based on 65-nm technology, the BCM21551 offers the highest integration, lowest power consumption, and lowest cost HSUPA solution. The modem supports 5.8 Mbps HSUPA, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, WCDMA 384K with Class 33 EDGE modem and integrates all analog and digital functions on a single, monolithic silicon.

The integrated BCM21551 RF transceiver design delivers high RF performance while achieving low power consumption through innovative architecture and circuit design. The RF transceiver draws on Broadcom's extensive experience in bulk CMOS radio design and directly leverages Broadcom's BCM2085 and BCM21331 CMOS cellular radio products. Critical radio performance, while using digital CMOS for radios, is assured through the use of proprietary, autonomous, real-time calibrations within the radio.
