Exhibit 99.2

Filed by NetLogic Microsystems, Inc.
Pursuant to Rule 14a-12 Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Commission File No. 000-50838

[Email from Ronald S. Jankov to NetLogic Microsystems employees on September 12, 2011]

Dear NetLogic family,

This morning, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Broadcom, a global fabless semiconductor leader in wired and wireless communications.

As most of you know, I have been very vocal about how strong our business is and how exciting the prospects are for us given the leading-edge innovations and best-in-class products we bring to the market.

I believe this combination with Broadcom will open up many more doors for us and allow us to invest more aggressively into our R&D product execution and allow us to bring our technologies to a wide set of market opportunities. I truly believe that this creates a very unique opportunity for us to further accelerate our R&D investments and design win momentum across our product families to capitalize on the multiple exciting growth vectors ahead of us. Both companies’ infrastructure product portfolios are benefiting from the same core growth drivers such as LTE, data centers and IPv6, and are found in many of the same platforms across multiple infrastructure end segments. Moreover, Broadcom brings significant additional resources and technologies to help us further expand the opportunities for our existing products.

Perhaps as importantly, we see an unusually strong cultural alignment between the two organizations, as evident from our multi-generational product partnership with Broadcom. Both companies are aggressive, energetic, engineering-centric and driven by an unwavering commitment to innovation and technical leadership. We both have a successful track record of bringing best-in-class products to market, and we believe that bringing together our two like-minded teams will create a new organization that will continue to deliver highly differentiated end-to-end network infrastructure solutions for our customers.

We anticipate the deal will close in the first half of 2012. Until then, it is business as usual. Please review the regulatory Do’s and Don’ts document attached to this email. I cannot stress enough how important it is that we follow these guidelines while we wait for the deal to officially close.

We will have an all-hands employee meeting for our Santa Clara employees at 9:30am on the 8^th floor of our HQ to discuss the transaction and answer any questions you may have. We will have a BBQ on the rooftop of the parking garage following that. We will also be sending out details about additional communications events for other sites shortly.

I am personally very excited about the opportunities ahead of us, and look forward to talking to you soon.

Sincerely,
Ron Jankov
President and CEO
