BCM2049

Description

Broadcom's BCM2049 is a cost-effective solution for portable devices, like mobile handsets and media players, that require Bluetooth®, an FM receiver/transmitter, and advanced music functionality. At the software layer, the BCM2049 builds upon Broadcom's BCM2048 Bluetooth + FM receiver API, making it fully backwards compatible.

The BCM2049's Bluetooth core is optimized for low current consumption and a minimal external bill-of-materials, while BCM2049 maintaining high receiver sensitivity and up to +10 dBm of transmit output power. The Bluetooth core is fully Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR compliant. SmartAudio™ technology has also been added to enhance voice quality by supporting Packet Loss Concealment and Wide-Band Speech. In conjunction with Broadcom's BTE-Mobile software stack, the BCM2049 supports multiple simultaneous Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) streams, enabling music sharing between several stereo Bluetooth headsets.
