The BCM6348 combines a G.992.1/G.992.2/G.992.3/G.992.5/ T1.413 ADSL transceiver and AFE with a high-performance MIPS32 CPU, two 10/100-Mbps Ethernet interfaces, USB (host/device) transceiver, expansion bus interface supporting PCI, mini-PCI, CardBus, and PCMCIA into a single, high-performance chip.

  The embedded ADSL transceiver and AFE implement G992.5 (ADSL2+), G.dmt, T1.413, and G.Lite ADSL, along with G.997.1, G.994.1, I.432 TC layer, dual-latency framing, NTR, and embedded operations channels for remote management of the CPE. Broadcom's BCM6348 is software compatible with the BCM6348 and BCM6335 ADSL chips, enabling customers to leverage past investments in protocol stack development.
