Texas Instruments (TXN) CD3240 driver device

Broadcom (BRCM) BCM4330 802.11a/b/g/n MAC/baseband/radio with integrated Bluetooth 4.0+HS and FM transceiver; 2 x 4Gb; BCM5974 microprocessor; BCM5973 I/O controller

–Elpida LP DDR2 = 1 GB DRAM in separate packages in a 64-bit configuration

–Fairchild Semiconductor International (FCS) FDMC 6683

–Apple 338S0987, Cirrus Logic (CRUS) Logic audio codec

–Qualcomm (QCOM) PM8028 Power Management IC;  RTR8600 multi-band/mode RF transceiver for 3G and 4GLTE bands

–Toshiba Y0A0000 Memory MCP

–Triquint Semiconductor  (TQNT)TQM7M5013quad-band linear power amplifier module

–Avago (AVGO) A5904

–Skyworks (SWKS) SKY77468-17 front-end module
