Product details
Overview
DS2155GNB+ 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 termination (75Ω/100Ω/120Ω), 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 DS2155GNB+ datasheet, DS2155GNB+ pinout, DS2155GNB+ application, or DS2155GNB+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-framer architecture, software-selectable media interface (T1/E1/J1), elastic-store slip buffer design, synthesized clock outputs (2.048–16.384MHz), and JTAG boundary-scan test support - all critical for telecom infrastructure timing and signal integrity validation.
Technical Context
The DS2155GNB+ implements independent transmit and receive paths with full T1 (DS1/ISDN-PRI/J1) and E1 (CEPT PCM-30/ISDN-PRI) framing, including G.703 compliant waveshaping for 75Ω coax and 120Ω twisted-pair. Its LIU includes integrated jitter attenuator and programmable line buildouts (−7.5dB/−15dB/−22.5dB for T1).
It features dual HDLC controllers with FIFO-based packet handling, programmable BERT generator/detector, and two-frame elastic-store buffers enabling asynchronous TDM backplane interfacing. Clock synthesis derives 16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, 4.096MHz, or 2.048MHz outputs locked to recovered network clock - essential for synchronization across mixed-rate systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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; same temperature range (0°C to +70°C). | Better suited for prototyping and manual assembly due to larger pitch and visible leads; less optimal for high-density line cards. | Select DS2155L+ when board-level rework or thermal inspection is prioritized over footprint density. |
| DS2155GN | Same CSBGA-100 package and −40°C to +85°C rating, but lacks RoHS-compliant plating (non-lead-free). | Acceptable where lead-free compliance is not mandated by regional regulations or OEM requirements. | Choose DS2155GN only if RoHS exemption applies and cost sensitivity outweighs environmental compliance needs. |
Compared with DS2155GNB+, DS2155L+ offers easier soldering and visual inspection but increases PCB area by ~35%; DS2155GN provides identical performance and form factor but requires leaded assembly processes - making DS2155GNB+ the default choice for new RoHS-compliant telecom designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DS2155GNB+?
The DS2155GNB+ is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for deployment in uncontrolled environments such as outdoor cabinets and central office shelves. This extended temperature range ensures reliable performance under thermal stress conditions common in telecom infrastructure, and is confirmed in Maxim's official ordering information table for the GN-series variants.
Does DS2155GNB+ support both T1 and E1 standards simultaneously?
No - the DS2155GNB+ operates in either T1 or E1 mode, selected via software configuration at initialization. While it cannot process both standards concurrently on the same channel, its software-selectable architecture allows dynamic reconfiguration during system boot or maintenance windows, enabling flexible deployment across mixed T1/E1 networks without hardware change.
What clock frequencies does DS2155GNB+ synthesize for the backplane interface?
The DS2155GNB+ synthesizes four fixed backplane clock frequencies: 16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, 4.096MHz, and 2.048MHz - all phase-locked to the recovered network clock. These match standard TDM sampling rates (e.g., 8.192MHz for 256-slot T1/E1 frames), eliminating the need for external clock generators and ensuring deterministic jitter performance.
Is DS2155GNB+ pin-compatible with DS2156?
Yes - the DS2155GNB+ is explicitly documented as pin and software compatible with the DS2156. This compatibility enables drop-in replacement in existing designs using DS2156, preserving PCB layout and firmware while upgrading to DS2155GNB+'s enhanced jitter attenuation and broader temperature range.
What termination impedances can be configured on DS2155GNB+?
The DS2155GNB+ supports software-selectable termination impedances of 75Ω, 100Ω, and 120Ω on both transmit and receive sides. This covers all major T1 (100Ω) and E1 (75Ω coax / 120Ω twisted pair) physical layer configurations, allowing one hardware design to serve multiple regional and media-specific deployments without resistor changes.
