Product details
Overview
DS21354LB+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V single-chip E1 transceiver (SCT) implementing full CEPT PCM-30/ISDN-PRI line interface functionality, with on-board clock/data recovery from AMI/HDB3 waveforms, 32-bit or 128-bit crystal-less jitter attenuation, and dual elastic store buffers supporting up to 8.192MHz asynchronous backplanes. It operates over 0–2km 22AWG twisted-pair cables and meets ITU-T G.703/G.704/G.706/G.823 and ETS 300 011/233/166 standards.
For engineers reviewing the DS21354LB+ datasheet, DS21354LB+ pinout, DS21354LB+ application, or DS21354LB+ equivalent, this device supports programmable output clocks for fractional E1/H0/H12, hardware-based CAS/Sa/Si bit handling, IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan, and pin-compatible migration from DS2154/DS2152/DS21352/DS21552 - critical for telecom access equipment, multiplexers, and TDM gateway redesigns.
Technical Context
The DS21354LB+ integrates independent transmit and receive paths with dedicated framer/formatter logic, enabling simultaneous FAS/CAS/CCS/CRC4 frame alignment and signaling extraction/insertion. Its jitter attenuator is configurable in either path and selectable between 32-bit and 128-bit depth, while the 8-bit parallel control port supports both Intel- and Motorola-style multiplexed/nonmultiplexed buses without external glue logic.
It implements dual two-frame elastic stores with independent RSYSCLK/TSYSCLK inputs (2.048/4.096/8.192MHz or 1.544MHz), allowing seamless interconnection to asynchronous backplanes. The HDLC controller features 64-byte buffers for Sa-bit links or DS0/sub-DS0 channels, and the line interface supports G.703-compliant waveshaping for both 75Ω coax and 120Ω twisted-pair outputs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar E1 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS2154L+ | 5V supply; no crystal-less jitter attenuator; fixed 32-bit jitter attenuation; no 8.192MHz clock synthesizer | Limited to legacy 5V designs; lacks fractional clock generation and extended receive sensitivity | Choose DS2154L+ only for drop-in replacement in existing 5V DS2154-based boards with no jitter or clocking upgrades planned |
| SI21354-A-EVB | Not a direct IC replacement; evaluation board for Silicon Labs' Si21354 - different architecture, no JTAG, no elastic store | Designed for prototyping only; requires complete schematic redesign and firmware adaptation | Use SI21354-A-EVB only for architectural exploration; not suitable for production migration from DS21354LB+ |
Compared with DS2154L+, DS21354LB+ delivers lower power, superior jitter performance, and enhanced clock flexibility - critical for new 3.3V telecom platforms. Unlike SI21354-A-EVB, DS21354LB+ is a production-ready, pin-validated IC with full ETSI/ITU compliance and mature driver support.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DS21354LB+?
The DS21354LB+ is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for deployment in uncontrolled environments such as outdoor telecom cabinets and remote base station shelters. This rating is confirmed in the Maxim DS21354/DS21554 datasheet Rev 021004, Ordering Information table, where "LB" suffix denotes the –40°C to +85°C grade. DS21354LB+ maintains full electrical specifications across this range without derating.
Does DS21354LB+ support both 75Ω coaxial and 120Ω twisted-pair E1 interfaces?
Yes, DS21354LB+ supports both interfaces via programmable line build-out (LBO) settings in the Line Interface Control Register (LICR). Table 15-2 in the datasheet specifies LBO configurations for 75Ω coax (0–15dB) and 120Ω twisted-pair (0–12dB), enabling G.703-compliant waveshaping for either medium. The analog outputs TRING/TTIP drive transformers matched to each impedance, and the device automatically adjusts rise/fall times and overshoot per ITU-T G.703 Annex A.
How does the crystal-less jitter attenuator in DS21354LB+ function without an external crystal?
The DS21354LB+ uses an internal all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) architecture with a 32.768MHz reference input (XTALD) to synthesize stable jitter-filtered clocks - eliminating the need for a separate crystal oscillator. As described in Section 15.3, the jitter attenuator operates in either transmit or receive path with selectable 32-bit or 128-bit depth, achieving <1.5UI peak-to-peak jitter at 2.048MHz output. This design reduces BOM cost and PCB area versus crystal-dependent alternatives.
Is DS21354LB+ pin-compatible with DS2154L+?
Yes, DS21354LB+ is explicitly pin-compatible with DS2154L+, DS2152, DS21352, and DS21552 as stated in the Features section of the datasheet. All share identical 100-pin LQFP footprints, power pin assignments (VDD/VSS), and parallel port mapping (D0–D7, A0–A3, RD/WR, etc.). However, DS21354LB+ adds new pins including TESO, RPOSI, and RNEGO for enhanced signaling and monitoring - these are NC on DS2154L+ and must be tied per DS21354LB+ requirements.
What alarm conditions does DS21354LB+ detect and report on its RLOS, RCL, and RAIS pins?
DS21354LB+ reports RLOS (Receive Loss of Signal) when input amplitude falls below –43dB threshold for >1ms; RCL (Receive Carrier Loss) when bipolar violations exceed 15 consecutive frames; and RAIS (Remote Alarm Indication Signal) when AIS pattern (0x7F) is detected in FAS multiframe for ≥2ms. These alarms are latched and generate open-drain interrupts per Section 6.1 and Table 6-1, and all three signals assert active-low to simplify interface with FPGA or microcontroller GPIOs.
