Product details
Overview
DS21602SN from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V/5V clock rate adapter IC that converts between T-carrier (1.544MHz) and E-carrier (2.048MHz) clock rates, provides two synchronized clock outputs (CLKOUT1 and CLKOUT2), delivers an 8kHz frame-sync output, and operates across -40°C to +85°C for telecom timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS21602SN datasheet, DS21602SN pinout, DS21602SN application, or DS21602SN equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-output frequency locking, phase alignment capability with SYNCIN, low-jitter performance per G.823/TR62411, industrial temperature rating, and drop-in compatibility with LXP602SE in 16-pin SO packaging.
Technical Context
The DS21602SN implements a PLL-based analog clock synthesis architecture with feedback divider and frame-sync generator, enabling precise frequency conversion between 1.544MHz and 2.048MHz while maintaining phase coherence across CLKOUT1, CLKOUT2, and SYNCOUT when SYNCIN is asserted.
It supports two fixed conversion modes via SEL pin: high-to-low (2.048MHz → 1.544MHz @ CLKOUT1, 6.176MHz @ CLKOUT2) and low-to-high (1.544MHz → 2.048MHz @ CLKOUT1, 8.192MHz @ CLKOUT2), both delivering an 8kHz frequency-locked SYNCOUT without external components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock rate adapter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LXP602SE | Same pinout, identical AC/DC specs, but higher typical jitter gain (1.1 vs. 1.6) peaking at 20–40kHz vs. 4–8kHz | Validated in older telecom designs; lacks explicit 3.3V support in original spec | Select LXP602SE only for legacy rework where DS21602SN qualification is pending |
| DS21602SN+ | Lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant version of DS21602SN; identical electrical and thermal performance | Required for new designs targeting EU/China RoHS compliance; same footprint and thermal profile | Prefer DS21602SN+ for all new production; DS21602SN remains viable for non-RoHS markets |

FAQ
What clock frequencies does the DS21602SN support for conversion?
The DS21602SN supports bidirectional conversion between 1.544MHz (T1) and 2.048MHz (E1) reference clocks. When CLKIN = 1.544MHz and SEL = 0, CLKOUT1 = 2.048MHz and CLKOUT2 = 8.192MHz; when CLKIN = 2.048MHz and SEL = 1, CLKOUT1 = 1.544MHz and CLKOUT2 = 6.176MHz. An 8kHz SYNCOUT is always active and frequency-locked to CLKIN.
Is the DS21602SN pin-compatible with the LXP602SE?
Yes, the DS21602SN is a direct drop-in replacement for the LXP602SE. Both devices use the same 16-pin SO package, identical pin functions (e.g., CLKIN, CLKOUT1, SYNCIN), and matching DC/AC specifications. The DS21602SN retains full functional equivalence while adding explicit 3.3V support and improved jitter performance in the 4–8kHz band.
How does the DS21602SN achieve phase alignment between clock outputs and SYNCIN?
The DS21602SN uses an internal frame-sync generator that locks CLKOUT1, CLKOUT2, and SYNCOUT to the rising edge of SYNCIN when asserted. Phase alignment occurs within ≤50ms for an 8kHz SYNCIN signal, and the device accepts integer subrates (1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz) as well. This ensures deterministic timing relationships essential for TDM multiplexing and channel bonding.
What is the maximum jitter specification for DS21602SN CLKOUT1 output?
The DS21602SN CLKOUT1 output exhibits a maximum jitter of 0.025 UIP-P in the G.823 band (20Hz–100kHz) and 0.012 UIP-P typical under 2.048MHz-to-1.544MHz conversion (SEL = 1). These values meet ITU-T G.823 and TR62411 standards, ensuring compatibility with carrier-class T1/E1 line interface units and framers.
Does the DS21602SN require external passive components for operation?
No, the DS21602SN requires no external passive components. Its integrated analog PLL, feedback dividers, and frame-sync generator eliminate the need for external crystals, loop filters, or timing resistors. Only standard VDD/VSS decoupling capacitors (per Maxim's layout guidelines) are needed to maintain specified jitter performance and supply stability.
