Product details
Overview
DS2155G+TR 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, CMI coding for optical interfaces, and crystal-less jitter attenuation. Used in telecom line cards for synchronous TDM transport over legacy copper infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the DS2155G+TR datasheet, DS2155G+TR pinout, DS2155G+TR application, or DS2155G+TR equivalent, key selection criteria include software-selectable T1/E1/J1 mode, dual elastic-store slip buffers for asynchronous backplane interfacing up to 16.384MHz, and integrated BERT generator/detector for in-system loop testing.
Technical Context
The DS2155G+TR implements a fully independent transmit and receive path with separate clock/data recovery, waveshaping, and termination control per interface standard. Its LIU supports G.703-compliant E1 waveforms for 75Ω coax and 120Ω twisted-pair, plus DSX-1 and CSU line buildouts (-7.5dB, -15dB, -22.5dB) for T1.
It features dual two-frame elastic-store slip buffers enabling connection to asynchronous backplanes, and a programmable backplane clock synthesizer generating 16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, 4.096MHz, or 2.048MHz outputs locked to the recovered network clock - critical for TDM timing integrity across mixed-clock domains.

Applications
| Telecom Line Cards | Carrier-Grade Routers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Embedded in modular T1/E1 line interface cards for central office and remote terminal equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary TDM transceiver handling physical layer signaling, frame synchronization, and backplane data transfer. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete framer + LIU + clock cleaner combinations - reduces component count by ≥40% versus multi-chip solutions. |
Use Scenario: Front-panel T1/E1 ports in edge routers supporting legacy circuit-switched voice and leased-line data services. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Physical layer interface bridging PSTN/ISDN traffic into packet-switched backplane fabric. Use Value: Dual elastic stores absorb clock skew between line-side and switch-fabric domains - prevents frame slips during traffic bursts. |
| Add-Drop Multiplexers (ADMs) | Enterprise PBX Gateways |
Use Scenario: Channelized TDM grooming in SONET/SDH ADMs requiring per-channel CAS or CCS signaling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Channelized framer with HDLC-controlled signaling insertion/removal at DS0 level. Use Value: Hardware-based signaling engine offloads CPU and ensures sub-millisecond response to line alarms (e.g., RAI, AIS). |
Use Scenario: T1 PRI interface connecting legacy PBX systems to VoIP gateways or SIP trunking platforms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ISDN-PRI transceiver managing D-channel HDLC framing and B-channel PCM transport. Use Value: Integrated CMI coder/decoder supports direct optical interface - avoids external line driver for fiber drop applications. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar T1/E1 transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS2156+TR | Pin- and software-compatible successor with enhanced jitter tolerance and extended temperature range support. | Preferred for new designs requiring improved G.823 compliance margin and industrial temperature operation. | Select DS2156+TR when upgrading legacy DS2155G+TR designs for longer lifecycle or harsher thermal environments. |
| MC2021A | Single-function E1-only transceiver with fixed G.703 interface; lacks T1/J1 support and software configurability. | Suitable only for cost-sensitive E1-only deployments where multi-standard flexibility is unnecessary. | Choose MC2021A only if application is strictly E1, requires minimal feature set, and prioritizes lowest unit cost over future-proofing. |
Compared with DS2155G+TR, DS2156+TR offers tighter jitter attenuation and broader temp range but identical pinout and register map, while MC2021A sacrifices multi-standard capability for lower power and cost in E1-only use cases.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DS2155G+TR?
The DS2155G+TR is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation and is packaged in a lead-free 100-ball CSBGA. This commercial temperature grade suits indoor telecom equipment such as central office line cards and enterprise gateway platforms where environmental control is maintained. The DS2155G+TR does not support extended industrial temperature ranges - for -40°C to +85°C operation, the DS2155GN+TR variant must be selected.
Does DS2155G+TR support both T1 and E1 standards simultaneously?
No, the DS2155G+TR operates in one standard at a time - T1, E1, or J1 - selected via software configuration of its mode registers. While it cannot run T1 and E1 concurrently on the same device, its software-selectable architecture allows a single hardware design to be deployed globally by reprogramming the mode bits. This eliminates the need for separate SKUs or board revisions for regional variants.
What clock frequencies does DS2155G+TR generate for the TDM backplane?
The DS2155G+TR synthesizes four precise backplane clock frequencies - 16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, 4.096MHz, and 2.048MHz - all phase-locked to the recovered network clock. These correspond to common TDM frame rates: 16.384MHz supports full-rate DS1/E1 (24/32 channels × 8kHz), while lower frequencies enable fractional or subrate configurations. The clock output is jitter-cleaned and meets T1/E1 timing mask requirements.
How does DS2155G+TR handle line interface termination?
The DS2155G+TR integrates programmable termination resistors (75Ω, 100Ω, 120Ω) on both transmit and receive sides, selectable per interface standard via internal registers. This eliminates external resistor networks and improves impedance matching accuracy across temperature and voltage. Termination is applied directly at the LIU pins, minimizing stub length and signal integrity degradation in high-speed T1/E1 traces.
Is DS2155G+TR pin-compatible with other devices in the DS2155 family?
Yes, all DS2155 variants - including DS2155L+, DS2155LN+, and DS2155G+TR - share identical pinouts within their respective packages (LQFP or CSBGA). The DS2155G+TR is mechanically and electrically compatible with other CSBGA versions, differing only in temperature grade and RoHS compliance. However, it is not pin-compatible with LQFP-packaged variants due to different package footprints.
