iFixit : Apple Magic Trackpad Teardown

They’re at it again.

  • At the heart of the Magic Trackpad’s logic board lies a Broadcom BCM2042 for Bluetooth connectivity.
  • This is the same chip used by the Magic Mouse for data transmission.
  • We found a Broadcom BCM5974 touch screen controller chip provides Multi-touch functionality.
  • This is the same chip you’ll find in the iPhone, iPod Touch, and MacBook Air.

Interesting, the overlap of components in that last bullet point.

Just marking that for future reference.
