Compal selects Broadcom's next generation Persona ICE solution to address growing tablet and connected home market

2011 International CES, LAS VEGAS, USA: Broadcom Corp., a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, announced that its next generation Persona ICE (Information Connectivity Entertainment) applications processor family will be powering new high-performance multimedia tablets from Compal Electronics, one of the leading PC ODMs in the world.

Leveraging Broadcom's strength as a wireless connectivity leader, the Persona ICE platform converges key system and software technologies to deliver unique and intuitive applications across increasingly interconnected consumer electronics devices in the home.

Designed in a low power 40 nanometer (40nm) CMOS silicon process, the Persona ICE family, which includes the BCM11311, consists of dual-core 1GHz+ ARM Cortex A9 processors integrated with Broadcom's industry-leading VideoCore IV graphics and multimedia subsystem and a rich set of peripheral interfaces.

Persona ICE also integrates an additional dedicated digital signal processor enabling Broadcom's SmartAudio suite of audio enhancement solutions for VoIP and IP Communication applications. The multi-core architecture leaves the flexible computing power of the ARM cores free to handle user-specific software applications.

Broadcom and Compal Electronics will demonstrate the next generation Persona IP communications platform at this week's International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
