BCM1190 Block Diagram
The Broadcom BCM1190 IP phone chip is targeted toward cost-
sensitive Residential Ethernet® IP phone products. The BCM1190 
enables manufacturers to build feature-rich, high-quality IP phones at 
affordable cost points.
The chip’s high-performance enhanced-RISC processor supports 
Broadcom’s field-proven PhonexChange™ IP telephony software suite.
PhonexChange includes a wide variety of narrowband and wideband 
voice coders, including Broadcom’s high-fidelity BroadVoice® coder, a 
high quality full-duplex speakerphone algorithm, advanced jitter buffer 
management and packet loss concealment techniques, and a complete 
library of standard telephony algorithms required for IP phone designs. 
The RISC processor further allows customers to add product-
differentiating application software.
The BCM1190 integrates key Ethernet IP phone components including 
two 10/100BASE-T Ethernet MACs and PHYs, a wideband-capable 
analog codec (coder/decoder) with integrated amplifiers, high-speed 
serial port, UART, GPIO, and keyscan controller.
The chip supports serial Flash and a 208-pin MQFP package enabling an 
optimized 2-layer PCB layout.
The high level of integration on the BCM1190 results in low bill of 
material (BOM) costs. Combined with the PhonexChange software 
suite, this integration enables phone vendors to build enterprise-class 
products for the residential market at economical price points.
