According to an announcement released early today, the acquisition of AMD’s DTV business is expected to enable Broadcom to immediately scale its DTV business ”to offer a complete product line that covers all segments of the DTV market ranging from low-end value and mid-range quality to high-end interactive platforms and panel processors.”

Broadcom will pay AMD $192.8 million in cash and record a not yet specified charge for “purchased in-process research and development expenses” related to the acquisition. The closing is expected to occur during Broadcom’s fourth quarter ending December 31, 2008.
