What’s inside a Pearl?
Via EETimes, a teardown of the RIM Blackberry 8100 ‘Pearl.’ For those of us that find this interesting:
The analog subsystems are spread between two primary devices, with the audio subsystem based on the Maxim MAX9853 codec and with system power management derived from Texas Instruments’ TPS65820. Other ICs are part of the power management equation, but the TI part handles most activity there. CSR’s BC41B143A BlueCore4 single-chip device serves for the Pearl’s Bluetooth v2.0 link.

alas.
