new Broadcam chip does GPS, bluetooth, and FM

Feb 10, 2009 ,

Broadcom just announced, BCM2075, a new chip that supports positioning, bluetooth connectivity, and FM radio.

The company is targeting the always shrinking and power hungry cell phone market by fitting everything onto one chip and making it 30% more efficient in terms of energy used.

Check out the video above to see a demonstration of BCM2075 locking onto various satellites, playing an FM radio station (can also do RDS), and streaming stereo audio to a bluetooth headset. Impressive.

It’ll start going to handsets later this year. For more technical details have a look at the press release or refer to the product page.
