This talk will cover Broadcom’s unique capability to develop advanced highly-integrated system-on-chip (SOC) products from the top down, beginning with a brief overview of the company, product portfolio, and manufacturing strategy. An example of a large SOC will be discussed to provide insight into the large variety and number of analog/mixed-signal and RF cores required in a typical Broadcom chip. Technology scaling and integration challenges will also be highlighted. The second half of the talk will delve into Broadcom’s audio technology with an example of a low-power 10mW stereo audio codec in a typical Bluetooth headset chip. Specific transistor-level audio circuit topologies will be described, including programmable-gain microphone preamplifiers, continuous-time ΣΔADCs, audio DACs, and speaker drivers.
