Product details
Overview
DS21349Q+T&R from Maxim Integrated is a fully integrated 3.3V T1 Line Interface Unit (LIU) for long-haul and short-haul twisted-pair applications, supporting ANSI T1.102/T1.403/T1.408 and AT&T 62411 compliance, with crystal-less jitter attenuation, programmable B8ZS/NRZ interface, and five line build-out settings - deployed in DSUs, CSUs, and T1 test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DS21349Q+T&R datasheet, DS21349Q+T&R pinout, DS21349Q+T&R application, or DS21349Q+T&R equivalent, key selection considerations include jitter attenuator path placement (TX/RX), receive sensitivity range (0dB to –36dB), PLCC-28 hardware/software mode configuration, and bipolar/NRZ data interface support.
Technical Context
The DS21349Q+T&R integrates full T1 physical-layer functionality: a digitally controlled line driver with four selectable CSU filters (0dB to –22.5dB), adaptive receive equalization with 20dB/26dB gain boost options, and a 1.544MHz reference-driven crystal-less jitter attenuator configurable for 32-bit or 128-bit FIFO depth and 3Hz/6Hz bandwidth.
It supports dual operating modes: hardware mode using dedicated control pins (MODE0/MODE1/JASEL/L0–L3), and serial port mode via SPI-compatible interface (SCLK/SDI/SDO/CS), with diagnostic features including local/remote/analog loopbacks, QRSS generation/detection, and in-band loop-up/down code handling per AT&T 62411.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.3V ±5% - powers both transmitter (TVDD) and core logic (VDD) blocks independently. |
| Data Rate | 1.544Mbps T1 - matches standard DS1 framing; requires 1.544MHz MCLK for PLL and jitter attenuation. |
| Receive Sensitivity | 0dB to –36dB - enables operation over 0.63mm (22AWG) cables up to 6k feet in length. |
| Jitter Attenuator | Crystal-less, programmable TX/RX path placement - eliminates external crystal requirement while meeting T1 jitter tolerance specs. |
| Line Build-Out | Five settings: 0dB, –7.5dB, –15dB, –22.5dB, and 6V - supports both long-haul (T1) and short-haul (D4/DSX-1) cable lengths. |
| CSU Filters | Four selectable: 0dB, –7.5dB, –15dB, –22.5dB - compensates for line loss in channel service unit applications. |
| Interface Mode | Bipolar (AMI) or NRZ - selected via ENCENB/UNIENB bits; supports B8ZS encoding/decoding when enabled. |
Pinout & Package
DS21349Q+T&R is housed in a 28-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with 11.43mm × 11.43mm body size and 1.27mm pitch. Pin functions differ between hardware and serial port modes - full mapping validated per Maxim DS21349 datasheet Rev 011206.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MCLK | Master Clock Input | 1.544MHz TTL-level reference clock for PLL and jitter attenuator; required for all operational modes. |
| TPOS/TNEG | Transmit Data Outputs | Differential bipolar transmit data sampled on falling edge of TCLK; drive TTIP/TRING through transformer. |
| RPOS/RNEG | Receive Data Inputs | Differential bipolar data recovered from RTIP/RRING; output synchronized to RCLK rising/falling edge per CLKE setting. |
| JASEL | Jitter Attenuator Path Select | Hardware-mode control: 0 = TX path, 1 = RX path, float = disabled - determines where jitter cleanup occurs. |
| L0–L3 | Line Build-Out Control | 4-bit input selecting one of five output pulse shapes/gain settings for short-haul or long-haul transmission. |
| MODE0/MODE1 | Operating Mode Select | MODE1 = 0 → hardware mode; MODE1 = 1 → serial port mode; MODE0 = 1 disables all outputs for board testing. |
| TTIP/TRING | Analog Transmit Outputs | Transformer-coupled analog line drivers delivering compliant T1 pulses to twisted-pair medium. |
| RTIP/RRING | Analog Receive Inputs | Differential analog inputs from line transformer; feed clock/data recovery and equalization circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully integrated LIU | Eliminates need for external line drivers, equalizers, encoders, and jitter cleaners - reduces BOM count and PCB area. |
| Crystal-less jitter attenuation | Removes crystal oscillator requirement while meeting ANSI T1.403 jitter tolerance; supports 32/128-bit FIFO depth and 3/6Hz bandwidth. |
| Programmable TX/RX path placement | Enables system-level jitter cleanup optimization - e.g., place attenuator in receive path for noisy lines or transmit path for timing-critical outputs. |
| Five line build-out settings | Supports deployment across diverse cable lengths (0–6k ft) and standards (T1 long-haul, D4, DSX-1 short-haul) without hardware change. |
| Comprehensive diagnostics | Includes QRSS pattern gen/detect, in-band loop-up/down, local/remote/analog loopbacks, and real-time status reporting via interrupt/status registers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar T1 line interface unit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS2155Q+T&R | Higher integration: includes T1 framer + LIU in single chip; requires external 1.544MHz clock but adds HDLC/transparent framing. | Replaces separate framer + LIU designs; not drop-in - requires register map and interface redesign. | Select when needing embedded framing logic and reduced component count; avoid if only LIU functionality is required. |
| MAX3273EUP+ | Single-supply 3.3V LIU with integrated transformer driver; no crystal-less jitter attenuator; supports only short-haul (≤133ft) per DSX-1 spec. | Limited to very short cable runs; lacks programmable jitter attenuation, B8ZS, and multi-build-out flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained short-haul applications where jitter attenuation is handled upstream. |
Compared with DS21349Q+T&R, DS2155Q+T&R adds framer functionality at the cost of design complexity, while MAX3273EUP+ simplifies layout for ultra-short-haul use but sacrifices jitter control, long-haul capability, and protocol flexibility.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DS21349Q+T&R?
The DS21349Q+T&R is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, matching the 'Q' grade designation in Maxim's ordering nomenclature. This commercial temperature range suits indoor telecom equipment, enterprise routers, and benchtop test instruments where environmental control is maintained. The device's thermal design ensures stable jitter attenuation and line build-out performance across this full range without derating.
Does DS21349Q+T&R require an external crystal oscillator?
No, DS21349Q+T&R does not require an external crystal oscillator because it incorporates a crystal-less jitter attenuator that uses the 1.544MHz MCLK input as its timing reference. This eliminates crystal-related BOM cost, board space, and aging/calibration concerns while still meeting ANSI T1.403 jitter tolerance requirements - a key differentiator versus legacy LIUs.
How is the jitter attenuator configured in DS21349Q+T&R?
The jitter attenuator in DS21349Q+T&R is configured via the JASEL pin in hardware mode (0 = TX path, 1 = RX path, float = disabled) or CR1[7:6] bits in software mode. Its depth (32-bit or 128-bit) and bandwidth (3Hz or 6Hz) are set via CR3[2] and CR3[7], respectively. All settings are confirmed in the DS21349 datasheet Rev 011206 Section 4 and Table 4-C.
Can DS21349Q+T&R operate in both bipolar (AMI) and NRZ modes?
Yes, DS21349Q+T&R supports both bipolar (AMI) and NRZ interfaces. Mode selection is controlled by ENCENB and UNIENB bits in Control Register 1 (CR1), with B8ZS encoding/decoding enabled when ENCENB = 1. The device handles NRZ data on TDATA/RDATA pins and bipolar data on TPOS/TNEG/RPOS/RNEG - verified in Table 4-D and Section 5.1/6.3 of the datasheet.
What package type and lead finish does DS21349Q+T&R use?
DS21349Q+T&R uses a 28-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (56-G4001-001), with lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish indicated by the '+' suffix in the part number. The PLCC format provides robust mechanical mounting and thermal performance suitable for telecom-grade PCBs, and is explicitly listed in the Ordering Information table on page 5 of the DS21349 datasheet.
