OVERVIEW
The BCM2132 EDGE/GPRS/GSM baseband processor offers a high level of system integration, performance, and features for nextgeneration wireless multimedia handsets and data modules. For lowpower consumption, accelerators are extensively used for certain necessary computation-intensive functions.
The BCM2132 contains all analog and digital EDGE/GPRS/GSM baseband processing functions on a single CMOS chip. Interface functions and drivers are integrated to enable auxiliary components such as microphone, speaker, and SIM to connect directly to the chip.
The Broadcom reference design is based on the industry-proven ARM9 RISC and TeakLite DSP cores, and Type Approved protocol stack software. The platform is well suited for support of multimedia handset features, such as MMS, WAP2.0 browser, and Java applications.
