In 1972, he received his Ph.D. from MIT and then worked with the Central Research Laboratory at Texas Instruments for three years.

Brodersen has won awards for a number of journal and conference papers in the areas of integrated circuit design, CAD and communications (including the W.G. Baker in 1979). In 1982 he became a Fellow of the IEEE and in 1983, he was co-recipient of the IEEE Morris Liebmann award. He has received the Technical Achievement awards from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the Signal Processing Society and the ACM Special Interest Group in Mobile Computing. In 1988 he was elected to be member of the National Academy of Engineering. Other awards and honors include the IEEE Solid State Circuits award (1996), an honorary doctorate from the University of Lund in Sweden (1999), the Millennium award from the Circuits and Systems Society (2000), the Golden Jubilee award from the IEEE and the Lewis Winner Best Paper Award (co-recipient) in the ISSCC.
