Product details
Overview
DS2155GB 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 long-haul and short-haul operation with crystal-less jitter attenuation, programmable 75Ω/100Ω/120Ω termination, and CMI coding for optical interfaces. Used in carrier-grade line cards requiring multi-standard compliance and asynchronous backplane connectivity up to 16.384MHz.
For engineers reviewing the DS2155GB datasheet, DS2155GB pinout, DS2155GB application, or DS2155GB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context on T1/E1/J1 waveform generation (G.703, DSX-1), elastic-store slip buffering, BERT functionality, and Intel/Motorola bus-compatible parallel control port configuration.
Technical Context
The DS2155GB implements independent transmit and receive paths with full T1 (1.544Mbps), E1 (2.048Mbps), and J1 (1.544Mbps) framing and signaling support. Its LIU includes G.703-compliant waveshaping for 75Ω coax and 120Ω twisted-pair, plus DSX-1 line buildouts (-7.5dB, -15dB, -22.5dB) and crystal-less jitter attenuation meeting ITU-T G.823/G.824.
It features dual two-frame elastic-store buffers for asynchronous TDM backplane interfacing, programmable BERT generator/detector, and internal clock synthesis delivering 16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, 4.096MHz, or 2.048MHz outputs locked to recovered network clock - all configurable via 8-bit parallel port supporting both Intel and Motorola bus timing.
Key Specifications

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+ | LQFP-100 package (vs. CSBGA-100); identical electrical specs and register map; lead-free RoHS-compliant. | Preferred for prototyping and low-volume PCB assembly where reworkability and visual inspection are prioritized over density. | Select DS2155L+ when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal management favors exposed pad LQFP over compact CSBGA. |
| DS2155GN | Same CSBGA-100 package as DS2155GB but rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range (vs. 0°C to +70°C). | Required for outdoor or uncontrolled-environment deployments where ambient temperature exceeds commercial grade limits. | Choose DS2155GN when operating environment exceeds 70°C ambient or requires extended thermal reliability per Telcordia GR-468. |
Compared with DS2155GB, DS2155L+ offers easier assembly and debugging at the cost of board area, while DS2155GN extends operational range without altering signal integrity or feature set - making both viable alternatives depending on mechanical, thermal, and production constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DS2155GB?
The DS2155GB is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range aligns with typical indoor telecom equipment environments such as central office shelves and enterprise router chassis. For extended temperature applications, the DS2155GN variant (–40°C to +85°C) shares identical pinout and functionality with DS2155GB but is qualified for harsher thermal conditions.
Does DS2155GB support both T1 and E1 standards simultaneously?
No - the DS2155GB operates in either T1/E1/J1 mode at any given time, selected via software configuration of the master mode register. However, it supports full feature sets for each standard (e.g., G.703 waveshaping for E1, DSX-1 buildouts for T1), and mode switching can be performed dynamically in-system without hardware change or reset.
What package type is used for DS2155GB?
The DS2155GB uses a 100-ball Chip-Scale Ball Grid Array (CSBGA) package with 0.5mm ball pitch and a 10mm × 10mm body size. This compact, thermally efficient package supports high-density routing and is compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles for lead-free assembly.
How does the crystal-less jitter attenuator in DS2155GB meet ITU-T standards?
The DS2155GB's crystal-less jitter attenuator meets ITU-T G.823 (T1) and G.824 (E1) masks by using an internal PLL with adaptive loop bandwidth and digital filtering. It achieves <1.5UI peak-to-peak jitter at the output clock while accepting up to 20ppm frequency deviation and ±200ns jitter on the incoming line signal - verified per Figure 24-9 and Figure 24-10 in the official datasheet.
Is DS2155GB pin-compatible with other devices in the DS2155 family?
Yes - all DS2155 variants (including DS2155GB, DS2155GN, DS2155L+, DS2155LN+) share identical pinouts within their respective package types (CSBGA or LQFP). The DS2155GB and DS2155GN are fully interchangeable in CSBGA layouts, differing only in temperature rating and screening - enabling drop-in replacement for thermal upgrades.
