Product details
Overview
DS2148TN+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, 5V E1/T1/J1 Line Interface Unit (LIU) supporting long- and short-haul trunks with software-selectable 75Ω/100Ω/120Ω receive termination, crystal-less jitter attenuation (32-/128-bit FIFO), and AMI/HDB3/B8ZS encoding/decoding - deployed in telecom access equipment for E1/T1 line card interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DS2148TN+ datasheet, DS2148TN+ pinout, DS2148TN+ application, or DS2148TN+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin TQFP package, 5V-only operation, dual-mode parallel/serial control interface, G.703/G.775 compliance, and support for both E1 (2.048MHz) and T1 (1.544MHz) master clock inputs.
Technical Context
The DS2148TN+ integrates full analog front-end circuitry including transformer-coupled RTIP/RRING receivers with automatic sensitivity adjustment (–43dBm E1, –36dBm T1), programmable line build-out (0dB to –22.5dB), and bipolar/NRZ data I/O on TPOS/TNEG and RPOS/RNEG. Its PLL-based clock recovery locks to incoming AMI/HDB3 or AMI/B8ZS waveforms while generating buffered RCLK and synthesizing BPCLK outputs at 2.048/4.096/8.192/16.384MHz.
Control is implemented via 8-bit parallel (muxed/non-muxed Intel/Motorola), serial (SPI-like SDI/SDO/SCLK), or hardware mode (BIS0/BIS1), with diagnostic features including PRBS generation/detection (215–1 or 220–1), in-band loop code handling (1–16 bits), and multiple loopback types (local, remote, analog, dual).
Key Specifications

| Data Rates | E1: 2.048Mbps, T1: 1.544Mbps - supports both standards with same hardware. |
| Jitter Attenuation | 32-bit or 128-bit FIFO depth - selectable placement in Tx or Rx path for precise jitter filtering. |
| Receive Sensitivity | E1: –43dBm, T1: –36dBm - enables operation over 2.5km E1 or 6k ft T1 copper links. |
| Line Build-Out | E1: 0dB/–7.5dB/–15dB/–22.5dB; T1: DSX-1/CSU options - configurable via CCR4 register. |

| MCLK | Master Clock Input | 2.048MHz (E1/T1) or optional 1.544MHz (T1 only); ±50ppm tolerance required for jitter performance. |
| INT* | Interrupt Output | Active-low open-drain flag for alarm conditions (AIS, RCL, LOS) per Status Register bits. |
| HRST* | Hardware Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset; initializes all registers to default state (all zeros). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar line interface unit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS2148T+ | Same silicon, 0°C to +70°C industrial temp grade vs. DS2148TN+'s –40°C to +85°C extended range. | Suitable for commercial indoor equipment; not rated for outdoor cabinet or automotive environments. | Select DS2148T+ only if ambient operating temperature remains within 0°C–70°C and RoHS compliance is confirmed. |
| DS21Q48N | Quad-channel version in 144-ball CSBGA; shares register map and core architecture but differs in pinout, thermal design, and channel count. | Designed for high-density line cards requiring four independent E1/T1 ports - not a drop-in replacement. | Choose DS21Q48N when scaling from single to quad LIU without redesigning firmware logic or control interface. |
Compared with DS2148TN+, DS2148T+ offers identical functionality at lower temperature rating and cost, while DS21Q48N provides channel density at the expense of package size and layout complexity - making DS2148TN+ optimal for space-constrained, wide-temperature single-port designs.

FAQ
What voltage supply does the DS2148TN+ require?
The DS2148TN+ operates exclusively from a 5.0V ±5% supply - it is not compatible with 3.3V or dual-supply configurations. VSM must be tied high to enable 5V mode, and both VDD pins (21 and 36) require local decoupling. This 5V-only design ensures robust noise immunity for E1/T1 analog signaling paths.
Does the DS2148TN+ support both E1 and T1 standards simultaneously?
Yes, the DS2148TN+ supports both E1 (2.048Mbps) and T1 (1.544Mbps) standards in a single device. Mode selection is controlled by the ETS bit (CCR1.7); when set, the device configures for E1 (HDB3, 75/120Ω), and when cleared, for T1 (B8ZS, DSX-1/CSU). MCLK can be 2.048MHz (both) or 1.544MHz (T1 only).
How is jitter attenuation implemented in the DS2148TN+?
The DS2148TN+ implements crystal-less jitter attenuation using a configurable 32-bit or 128-bit FIFO placed in either the transmit or receive data path. It synchronizes to the recovered RCLK and meets ITU-T G.823 jitter transfer/tolerance requirements without external VCXO or PLL components - reducing bill-of-materials and board area.
What are the supported control interfaces for the DS2148TN+?
The DS2148TN+ supports three control modes: 8-bit parallel (multiplexed/non-multiplexed Intel or Motorola timing), 3-wire serial (SDI/SDO/SCLK), and hardware mode (BIS0/BIS1 = 11). Pin functions change based on BIS0/BIS1 settings, and PBTS selects Intel vs. Motorola bus timing in parallel mode - enabling flexible host processor integration.
Can the DS2148TN+ generate and detect in-band loop codes?
Yes, the DS2148TN+ generates and detects 1- to 16-bit in-band loop codes, including CSU-specific codes. Loop code length is programmable via CCR3.4–CCR3.0 (transmit) and monitored in RIR1.7–RIR1.0 (receive). This capability supports standardized maintenance loops for field diagnostics and remote line testing per ANSI T1.403 and ITU G.704.
