The BCM2153 single chip HEDGE multimedia baseband processor, features WCDMA, 7.2-Mbps HSDPA and EDGE Class 12 capability to provide full support for 2G and 3G voice and high-speed data. Full inter RAT operation is supported for seamless global roaming on EDGE/GPRS/GSM and HSDPA/WCDMA networks worldwide.
The BCM2153 integrates all multimedia, analog and stereo audio functions on a single, monolithic piece of silicon, which avoids the added cost of die-stacking and provides for lower power operation and lower BOM cost.
