Broadcom announced a next-generation silicon tuner chipset for cable set-top boxes, next generation cable-ready televisions and personal video recorders (PVRs). The chipset includes a single-chip multi-channel low noise amplifier (LNA) supporting up to five radio frequency (RF) signals, and a new CMOS silicon tuner supporting both analog NTSC/PAL and digital Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) signals. Broadcom said the chipset significantly reduces the design complexity and cost of multi-tuner applications by eliminating major components required to distribute signals inside these products. Sampling is underway.

From the Graveyard
You just read about Broadcom. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
NetLogic Microsystems built Network processors, knowledge-based processors and PHYs. What became of it?
NetLogic Microsystems brought Network processors, knowledge-based processors and PHYs to Semiconductor. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Broadcom for US$3.7B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Broadcom today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
