Product details
Overview
DS2155GNC2+ 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 programmable 75Ω/100Ω/120Ω termination, crystal-less jitter attenuation, and CMI coding for optical interfaces. Used in telecom line cards requiring multi-standard compatibility and asynchronous backplane connectivity up to 16.384MHz.
For engineers reviewing the DS2155GNC2+ datasheet, DS2155GNC2+ pinout, DS2155GNC2+ application, or DS2155GNC2+ equivalent, key selection criteria include software-selectable T1/E1/J1 mode, dual elastic-store slip buffers, synthesized clock outputs (2.048–16.384MHz), and JTAG boundary-scan test support for production validation.
Technical Context
The DS2155GNC2+ implements independent transmit and receive paths with full G.703-compliant E1 waveform generation for both 75Ω coax and 120Ω twisted-pair, plus T1 DSX-1 and CSU line buildouts (-7.5dB, -15dB, -22.5dB). Its LIU includes jitter attenuator, open/short-circuit detection, and BPV error insertion.
It features dual HDLC controllers with FIFO-based packet handling, programmable BERT generator/detector, and fractional T1/E1 support. The TDM backplane interface operates asynchronously up to 16.384MHz using dual two-frame elastic-store buffers, synchronized to recovered network clock via internal synthesizer.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar T1/E1 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS2155LN+ | LQFP-100 package instead of CSBGA; identical electrical specs and feature set. | Better suited for prototyping or low-volume designs where reworkability matters more than board density. | Select DS2155LN+ when manual soldering or thermal cycling reliability is prioritized over miniaturization. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the DS2155GNC2+?
The DS2155GNC2+ is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per Maxim's qualification standards and supports deployment in uncontrolled environments such as roadside cabinets, base station shelters, and central office equipment rooms. The DS2155GNC2+ maintains full functional specification-including jitter attenuation, line buildout accuracy, and HDLC throughput-across this entire range.
Does the DS2155GNC2+ require an external crystal oscillator?
No, the DS2155GNC2+ incorporates a crystal-less jitter attenuator using an integrated PLL architecture. It recovers and cleans network timing without needing an external crystal, reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB area. External crystals remain optional for applications requiring ultra-low phase noise or specific clock tree alignment, but are not required for standard T1/E1 operation.
How does the DS2155GNC2+ handle different line impedances?
The DS2155GNC2+ provides internal software-selectable termination resistors of 75Ω, 100Ω, and 120Ω on both transmit and receive sides. This allows direct matching to common T1/E1 media types-including 75Ω coaxial cable (E1/G.703), 120Ω twisted pair (E1), and DSX-1 metallic interfaces-without external resistor networks or jumpers, simplifying board design and field configuration.
Is the DS2155GNC2+ pin-compatible with other devices in the DS2155 family?
Yes, all DS2155 variants-including DS2155GNC2+, DS2155LN+, and DS2155L+-share identical pinouts within their respective packages (CSBGA or LQFP). The DS2155GNC2+ is mechanically and electrically compatible with other DS2155Gx variants, enabling drop-in replacement across temperature grades and RoHS compliance levels without layout changes.
What clock frequencies can the DS2155GNC2+ synthesize for the backplane interface?
The DS2155GNC2+ synthesizes four fixed backplane clock frequencies-2.048MHz, 4.096MHz, 8.192MHz, and 16.384MHz-all phase-locked to the recovered network clock. These outputs drive TDM backplanes in synchronous mode, supporting standard PCM rates and enabling interoperability with legacy switch fabrics and DSP subsystems without external clock generators.
