BCM20706
Bluetooth SoC for Embedded Wireless Devices
GE NE R AL DE S C RI PT ION
The Broadcom
®
BCM20706 is a single-chip Bluetooth
4.1-compliant, embedded SoC with an integrated
baseband processor, a 2.4 GHz transceiver, an ARM
Cortex M3, ROM and RAM, as well as an integrated
Bluetooth stack. Manufactured using an advanced
40 nm CMOS low-power process, the BCM20706
employs high levels of integration reduce external
components, thereby minimizing the device's footprint
and the costs associated with implementing Bluetooth
solutions.
The BCM20706 is the optimal solution for embedded
and IoT applications. Built-in ROM firmware provides
access to both Bluetooth Low Energy (SMART) and
Bluetooth Classic (SMART READY).
