More particularly, it relates to a modular-type home gateway system which interlocks an access network with a home network by employing ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) controller for the access network interface and 10 Mbps HomePNA (Home Phoneline Networking Alliance) controller for the home network interface.

The HomePNA controller and the ADSL controller are modular type controllers having PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) interface. To improve the performance of the HomePNA controller or the ADSL controller, a system controller of a home gateway device is not changed, but either the modular-type HomePNA controller or ADSL controller is replaced, thereby improving the total performance of the home gateway device.

The PCMCIA slot A interface unit 120a converts CPU address of 26 bits to a PCMCIA address of 26 bits when an address latch signal is enabled. When one signal between PCMCIA slot A card enabling signals of 2 bits is enabled, the PCMCIA slot A interface unit 120a converts CPU data of 16 bits generated from a system controller 110 to a PCMCIA slot A data of 16 bits and then transmits a PCMCIA slot A data of 16 bits to the ADSL controller 130, or converts a PCMCIA slot A data of 16 bits generated from the ADSL controller 130 to a CPU data of 16 bits and then transmits the CPU data of 16 bits to the system controller 110.
