BCM6338 - ADSL2+ Router Solution

ADSL2+ Router Solution

The BCM6338 combines an ADSL2+ transceiver and analog front end (AFE) with a high-performance MIPS32 CPU, a 10/100 Ethernet interface, and a USB 1.1 interface into a single high-performance, cost-effective monolithic device. The ADSL2+ transceiver delivers 29 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream, dual-latency framing, and embedded operations channels for remote management of the customer premises equipment (CPE).


The 280DMIPS CMT™ CPU and supplied software control the ADSL2+ modem, perform wire-speed bridging and routing between the wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) interfaces, and support custom application development with industry-standard EJTAG debuggers, toolchains, and development environments.

  • Single-chip ADSL2+ bridge/router solution with seamless, multiuser support of Ethernet and USB home LAN technologies
  • G.992.1, G.992.2, G.992.3, G.992.5, and T1.413-compliant ADSL2+ transceiver and AFE with worldwide support for Annexes A, B C, M, and L
  • High-performance 280DMIPS MIPS32 CPU supports wirespeed bridging and routing and advanced applications such as TR-69 or SNMP-based remote management
  • Embedded 10/100-Mbps Ethernet MAC with MII and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY interface with Auto-MDIX to reduce customer support
