BCM63158B1VKFSBG

Overview

The BCM63158B1VKFSBG is a network controller and processor IC from Broadcom Limited, categorized under communication and networking integrated circuits. It is designed for V/ADSL gateway applications without VoIP or SPU support. The device features 212 bonded pins and supports 106 configurations. It is manufactured by Broadcom / Avago and falls under the Network Controller & Processor ICs product type. The component is supplied in a factory pack quantity of 280 units.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for V/ADSL gateway implementations
• Integrates network control and processing capabilities within a single IC
• Configured for operation without Voice over IP (VoIP) or Signal Processing Unit (SPU) functions

Applications

• V/ADSL gateway devices
• Broadband access network equipment
• Telecommunications interface systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to ensure the correct variant is selected, as suffixes denote specific package types or temperature ranges. Confirm that the application does not require VoIP or SPU functionality, as this specific model lacks those features. Check current availability through authorized distributors, noting that standard lead times may apply due to the specialized nature of telecom ICs. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding pin counts and bonding requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing V/ADSL gateways that do not require integrated voice processing or signal handling units. Consider the 212-pin bonded configuration for high-density interconnect needs. Evaluate the absence of VoIP/SPU features against system architecture requirements to determine if external components are necessary for voice services. Compare against other BCM63xxx series parts if different interface or processing capabilities are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Broadcom BCM63xx series of network controllers and processors, which are widely used in broadband access solutions. The BCM63158 variant specifically targets ADSL gateway markets. It is distinct from Ethernet switch models like the BCM53158 series, focusing on DSL connectivity rather than multi-port switching. The series represents Broadcom's legacy infrastructure for residential and small business broadband gateways.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult Broadcom official resources for direct replacements or updated family members.
