Product details
Overview
DS21352LN+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V T1 single-chip transceiver supporting DS1/ISDN-PRI/J1 line interface, long/short-haul LIU operation, crystal-less jitter attenuation (32- or 128-bit), and HDLC controller with 64-byte buffers configurable for FDL or DS0. It delivers -7.5dB/-15dB/-22.5dB CSU line build-outs and operates across -40°C to +85°C for telecom access equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DS21352LN+ datasheet, DS21352LN+ pinout, DS21352LN+ application, or DS21352LN+ equivalent, key selection criteria include T1 framer compliance (ANSI T1.403-1995, ITU G.703/G.704), dual elastic store support for asynchronous backplanes up to 8.192MHz, IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan, and pin compatibility with DS2152/DS21354/DS21554 SCTs.
Technical Context
The DS21352LN+ integrates independent transmit and receive paths with clock recovery circuitry that adapts automatically to T1 line lengths from 0 to over 6000 feet. Its framer locates D4 (SLC-96) and ESF multiframe boundaries while extracting/inserting robbed-bit signaling and FDL data.
It features dual two-frame elastic stores enabling connection to asynchronous backplanes at 1.544MHz, 2.048MHz, or bursty 8.192MHz RSYSCLK/TSYSCLK; an 8.192MHz RCLK-synchronized clock output; and programmable in-band loop code generation/detection (1–8 bits) including CSU-specific codes.

Pinout & Package
DS21352LN+ is housed in a 100-pin LQFP package (14 mm × 14 mm), RoHS-compliant, with 3.3V digital and analog supply domains separated for noise immunity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RCHBLK | Receive Channel Block | Indicates active channel block status during receive framing; used for synchronization handshaking with backplane logic. |
| 8MCLK | 8.192 MHz Clock Output | Synthesized clock locked to RCLK - provides precise timing reference for downstream HDLC or monitoring circuits. |
| RCL | Receive Carrier Loss | Open-drain alarm output asserting low on loss of valid T1 signal - directly interfaces with system-level fault management logic. |
| INT* | Interrupt Output | Active-low interrupt signaling state changes in RLOS, RRA, RAIS, or signaling data - reduces polling overhead in host processor systems. |
| TLINK / TSIG | Transmit Link Data / Signaling Input | Parallel PCM data path (TLINK) and dedicated signaling channel (TSIG) enable hardware-based robbed-bit insertion without CPU intervention. |
| RRING / RTIP | Receive Analog Ring/Tip Inputs | Differential analog inputs accepting AMI/B8ZS waveforms - require transformer coupling per T1 line interface standards. |
| TTIP / TRING | Transmit Analog Tip/Ring Outputs | Differential bipolar outputs driving T1 lines via external transformer - support both DSX-1 short-haul and CSU long-haul configurations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar T1 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS21552LN+ | 5V supply version with identical pinout and feature set; higher power consumption and reduced noise margin vs. 3.3V DS21352LN+. | Used where legacy 5V backplane infrastructure exists; not suitable for new low-voltage designs targeting <1W per channel. | Select DS21552LN+ only when existing 5V power delivery and level-shifting are already in place. |
| DS21354LN+ | Enhanced variant with added D4/ESF auto-detection, CRC6 calculation per Japanese standard, and improved signaling freeze capability. | Required for deployments needing automatic multiframe format negotiation or JTTA-compliant CRC verification in Japanese carrier networks. | Choose DS21354LN+ when future-proofing against evolving regional signaling requirements beyond baseline ANSI/ITU compliance. |
Compared with DS21552LN+, DS21352LN+ offers lower power and better noise immunity at 3.3V; compared with DS21354LN+, it provides cost-optimized implementation for fixed-format D4/ESF systems without advanced auto-negotiation or CRC6 needs.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for DS21352LN+?
The DS21352LN+ operates exclusively at 3.3V ±5%, with separate DVDD, RVDD, and TVDD supply domains. This 3.3V requirement distinguishes it from the 5V DS21552LN+ variant and ensures compatibility with modern low-voltage telecom control planes. The DS21352LN+ does not support dual-voltage operation or 5V tolerance on any pin.
Does DS21352LN+ support both D4 and ESF framing formats?
Yes, DS21352LN+ fully supports both D4 (SLC-96) and ESF multiframe structures. Its framer detects and locks to either format automatically based on incoming line pattern recognition, and it extracts/inserts robbed-bit signaling or FDL data accordingly. Configuration registers allow manual override if needed, but auto-detection is enabled by default.
How does the crystal-less jitter attenuator in DS21352LN+ function without an external crystal?
The DS21352LN+ uses an internal VCO/PLL architecture referenced to the recovered RCLK signal to synthesize stable 8.192MHz and 8XCLK outputs. Its jitter attenuator operates in either 32-bit or 128-bit depth mode, filtering phase noise from the recovered T1 clock without requiring an external crystal oscillator - reducing BOM cost and board space.
Is DS21352LN+ pin-compatible with earlier Maxim T1 transceivers?
Yes, DS21352LN+ is pin-compatible with DS2152, DS21354, DS21554, and DS21552 devices in the same 100-pin LQFP package. Signal assignments, power pin locations, and control port layout match exactly, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs - though voltage supply (3.3V vs. 5V) and feature enablement must be verified in software.
What backplane clock frequencies does DS21352LN+ support for elastic store operation?
DS21352LN+ supports elastic store operation with RSYSCLK and TSYSCLK inputs at 1.544MHz, 2.048MHz, or bursty clocks up to 8.192MHz. The device accommodates variable-rate backplane timing through its dual elastic store architecture, allowing phase alignment between T1 line data and asynchronous system clocks without data loss or buffer overflow.
