IC Type : Generation GNSS Location Hub ICModel No.: BCM4773Broadcom BCM4773 - Samsung Galaxy S6 First-Generation GNSS Location Hub IC * The Broadcom BCM4773 os a chip that combines GPS and positioning chips together with a multitude on different sensors, bundling them all together into one efficient little package. Broadcom describes it as ¡°80 percent¡± more power efficient than letting the application processor ¨C in this case Samsung¡¯s Exynos chip ¨C do everything. This is because the BCM4773 allows ¡°information from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Smart, GPS and micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) to be calculated on a single system-on-chip¡± as Broadcom puts it. Simply put though, this is one efficient chip to have in a modern smartphone. Description: Location Hub chip integrates a low-power GNSS receiver with a sensor hub function in a single chip. It simultaneously supports GPS, GLONASS, SBAS, QZSS and BeiDou satellite systems. The unique architecture of the Location Hub enables power reductions in the system applications processor of the mobile device, as it can stay in sleep mode for extended periods of time by offloading data calculations to the BCM4773. This enables a very efficient, low-power background location. Features Concurrent support for five different satellite systemsSystem power savings through offloading of sensor fusion, on-chip positioning, Geofencing? and location batching Board area and BOM reduction by integrating GNSS receiver and sensor hubEasy-to-use API enables OEMs to port their specific sensor fusion code onto BCM4773
