In this era of popularization of Bluetooth, many devices have added Bluetooth, and various Bluetooth chip brands with different functions and performance have appeared on the market. Today, the main introduction is Broadcom.

Broadcom (Broadcom) is a relatively well-known brand in Bluetooth WIFI wireless communication. It can be comparable to CSR (Qualcomm). Although few people now hear of this brand, some people even claim that this brand is just like Nokia which is an outdated brand, even worse after being acquired by Cypress.

In fact, this is not true. Broadcom chipset has a high cost performance, price is acceptable to everyone, and performance is quite high, some of which are even better than Qualcomm, for example, CYW20719、CYW20706、CYW20735 etc. The following is a Bluetooth module with Broadcom chip which named FSC-BT966.

FSC-BT966 is a cost-effective Bluetooth dual-mode module which chip is CYW20706; Bluetooth version 5.0 and support SPP GATT protocol, which greatly increase the compatibility with mobile phones; supports PCM , I²S digital audio interface, built-in DAC, can output high-fidelity lossless music; it also supports analog audio, which greatly facilitates and meets the needs of some analog power amplifiers.

It can also be the master and connect with Bluetooth audio/headphones and other Bluetooth devices, transmit data while playing music. Compared with the same type of Qualcomm chip, the BC05 can also be used for transmitting and receiving, and digital and analog audio output is combined, but BC05 is the version of Bluetooth 3.0, does not support BLE protocol. Although the prices are similar, but CYW20706 Bluetooth module has higher performance; Compared with CSR 8670/ 8675, although it has more advantages than CYW20706 in performance, but the price of 8670/8675 is much higher.

Broadcom solutions still have irreplaceable advantages in some areas. Welcome to consult us for more Broadcom solutions.
