A fabless chip and software firm, Broadcom designs custom AI accelerators (XPUs), Ethernet switching silicon, and radio-frequency modules, plus VMware Cloud Foundation and other enterprise software for data centers, wireless devices, and large companies. It descends from a 1961 Hewlett-Packard semiconductor division that became Avago Technologies, which merged in 2016 with the original Broadcom Corporation, founded in 1991 by UCLA professor Henry Samueli and his PhD student Henry Nicholas. Its name blends "broadband" and "communications," and roughly half its workforce is in research and development.
