Product details
Overview
DS2155G+ from Maxim Integrated is a software-selectable T1/E1/J1 single-chip transceiver (SCT) integrating line interface unit (LIU), framer, dual HDLC controllers, and TDM backplane interface. It supports 0°C to +70°C operation in 100-ball CSBGA, delivers crystal-less jitter attenuation, programmable 75Ω/100Ω/120Ω termination, and synthesizes 16.384MHz/8.192MHz/4.096MHz/2.048MHz clocks locked to recovered network timing - deployed in carrier-grade T1/E1 line cards and add-drop multiplexers.
For engineers reviewing the DS2155G+ datasheet, DS2155G+ pinout, DS2155G+ application, or DS2155G+ equivalent, key selection considerations include software-selectable T1/E1/J1 mode support, independent transmit/receive functionality, dual elastic-store slip buffers for asynchronous backplanes up to 16.384MHz, CMI coding capability for optical interfaces, and RoHS-compliant 100-ball CSBGA packaging with verified thermal performance in telecom infrastructure designs.
Technical Context
The DS2155G+ implements a fully integrated T1/E1/J1 physical layer transceiver with separate transmit and receive signal paths, each supporting configurable waveform generation (T1 DSX-1/CSU buildouts; E1 G.703 75Ω coax/120Ω twisted-pair) and clock/data recovery. Its LIU includes a crystal-less jitter attenuator meeting ITU-T G.823/G.824 specifications for long-haul and short-haul applications.
Control is executed via an 8-bit parallel port compatible with Intel- and Motorola-style bus timing, while dual HDLC controllers handle framing, error detection, and signaling insertion. The device features two-frame elastic-store slip buffers enabling connection to asynchronous TDM backplanes operating up to 16.384MHz, with clock synthesis derived from the recovered network clock.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar T1/E1 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS2155L+ | Same core silicon, but in 100-pin LQFP package (56-G5002-000); higher thermal resistance and larger footprint | LQFP preferred for prototyping or lower-volume assemblies where reworkability outweighs density constraints | Select DS2155L+ only when CSBGA assembly capability is unavailable or thermal management favors exposed-pad LQFP |
| DS2156+ | Pin- and software-compatible successor with enhanced jitter performance, extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and improved ESD robustness | Required for industrial or outdoor base station applications demanding wider temp range and higher reliability | DS2156+ is drop-in upgrade path; DS2155G+ remains optimal for cost-sensitive commercial telecom line cards within 0°C–70°C envelope |
Compared with DS2155L+, DS2155G+ offers superior thermal dissipation and board-area efficiency in CSBGA, while DS2156+ extends operational margins and reliability - making DS2155G+ the preferred choice for high-density, cost-optimized T1/E1 line cards targeting commercial temperature environments.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS2155G+ in a telecom system?
The DS2155G+ serves as a software-selectable T1/E1/J1 single-chip transceiver, integrating line interface, framing, HDLC processing, and TDM backplane interfacing. It performs clock recovery, waveform shaping, signaling insertion/detection, and elastic store buffering - enabling direct connection between telecom line media and digital backplanes. DS2155G+ replaces multiple discrete components in legacy designs while maintaining full compliance with ITU-T G.703, GR-499, and ANSI T1.102 standards.
Does the DS2155G+ require an external crystal oscillator?
No, the DS2155G+ incorporates a crystal-less jitter attenuator that meets ITU-T G.823 long-haul specifications without external crystal. It recovers and cleans timing from the incoming line signal, then synthesizes stable output clocks (16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, etc.) phase-locked to the recovered network clock. This eliminates the need for external crystal oscillators, reducing BOM cost and board area - a confirmed feature documented in DS2155 datasheet Sections 24.5 and 30.
What package type does the DS2155G+ use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The DS2155G+ uses a 100-ball CSBGA package (Maxim designation 56-G6008-001), measuring 10mm × 10mm with 0.8mm ball pitch and an exposed thermal pad. The "+" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free and RoHS-compliant construction, verified per Maxim's ordering information table and package drawings in Section 38.2 of the DS2155 datasheet.
How does the DS2155G+ support both T1 and E1 standards?
The DS2155G+ supports T1 and E1 through software-selectable configuration registers - no hardware changes required. Its LIU generates T1-compliant DSX-1/CSU waveforms (including -7.5dB/-15dB/-22.5dB buildouts) and E1-compliant G.703 waveforms for both 75Ω coaxial and 120Ω twisted-pair cables. Framing, HDLC, and clock synthesis adapt automatically based on selected mode - a core capability confirmed in the General Description and Section 24.1 of the DS2155 datasheet.
Is the DS2155G+ pin-compatible with other devices in the same family?
Yes, the DS2155G+ is pin- and software-compatible with the DS2155L+ (LQFP) and DS2156+ (successor). Maxim explicitly states "The DS2155 is pin and software compatible with the DS2156" in the General Description. While DS2155G+ and DS2155L+ share identical pin functions, their packages differ (CSBGA vs. LQFP), so PCB layout is not interchangeable - but register mapping, control sequences, and signal definitions are identical across all DS2155 variants.
