Broadcom Corporation today announced nine new cable, satellite and IP set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions that enable multiple ways for consumers to experience the next generation Internet connected home, featuring full resolution 3DTV.  Designed in 40 nanometer (nm) CMOS process, all nine of Broadcom’s new STB SoC solutions feature high integration, high performance and lower overall system cost.

Broadcom also provides extensive application libraries that enable rich Internet-based TV experiences using widely adopted industry standards, as well as support for the proliferation of high definition and 3DTV video content and Web-based services.

Broadcom’s new STB SoCs will be demonstrated at this week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
