Product details
Overview
DS26303L-120+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel short-haul line interface unit (LIU) supporting E1/T1/J1 protocols on a single 3.3V supply, with internal software-selectable termination, 120Ω impedance default for E1 mode, crystal-less jitter attenuation, and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan. It serves in T1/E1 multiplexers and wireless base station line cards.
For engineers reviewing the DS26303L-120+ datasheet, DS26303L-120+ pinout, DS26303L-120+ application, or DS26303L-120+ equivalent, key selection considerations include E1/T1/J1 protocol flexibility per channel, dual-rail/single-rail transmit mode support, AMI/HDB3/B8ZS encoding, G.772 nonintrusive monitoring, and built-in BERT diagnostics.
Technical Context
The DS26303L-120+ integrates eight independent LIUs with configurable transmit/receive termination and supports simultaneous E1 (2.048MHz), T1 (1.544MHz), and J1 line rates via an on-chip synthesizer driven by a single master clock. Each channel operates with selectable line encoding (AMI, HDB3, or B8ZS) and complies with ANSI T1.102, ITU-T G.703, G.775, and ETS 300 233.
It implements digital/analog loss-of-signal detection per T1.231/G.775/ETS 300 233, AIS generation/detection, bipolar violation monitoring, and hitless-protection switching (HPS) with 1:1 or 1+1 backup configurations. The device provides hardware mode control, 8-bit parallel (Intel/Motorola) or 4-wire serial host interface, and transmit short-circuit protection.

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Aggregating and switching multiple T1 feeds between central office and remote nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line interface unit providing physical layer framing, clock recovery, and AIS handling for each T1 span. Use Value: Single-chip octal integration reduces board area and power versus discrete LIU solutions while maintaining ANSI T1.102 compliance. | Use Scenario: Backhaul connectivity between BTS and BSC using E1 or T1 leased lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Short-haul LIU managing line coding, jitter attenuation, and loss-of-signal detection per link. Use Value: Crystal-less jitter attenuation meets ITU-T G.823 mask requirements without external VCXO, simplifying timing subsystem design. |
| E1/T1/J1 Multiplexer | ISDN Primary Rate Interface |
Use Scenario: Consolidating up to eight E1/T1/J1 streams into a higher-speed SONET/SDH or packet-based transport. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Physical layer transceiver with per-channel encoding control (HDB3/B8ZS/AMI) and clock synthesis. Use Value: Unified bill-of-materials across E1/T1/J1 variants lowers inventory complexity and enables field-reprogrammable line standards. | Use Scenario: Providing 30B+D (E1) or 23B+D (T1) PRI interfaces in enterprise PBX or media gateways.

Use Value: Integrated AIS generation and detection per ETS 300 233 ensures interoperability with legacy ISDN switches and network management systems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal line interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS26504L-120+ | 4-channel LIU; same 144-pin eLQFP package and 3.3V supply but half channel count | Suitable for lower-density line cards where space or cost constraints limit full octal deployment | Select when fewer than eight E1/T1 links are required and board real estate is constrained |
| MAX3010E | Single-channel E1 LIU; no T1/J1 support; different 48-pin TQFP package; lacks JTAG and BERT | Targeted at cost-sensitive, low-channel-count E1-only applications without diagnostic or redundancy features | Choose only for simple E1 point-to-point links where G.772 monitoring, HPS, or multi-protocol flexibility are unnecessary |
Compared with DS26303L-120+, DS26504L-120+ offers identical feature depth at half channel density and reduced pin count, while MAX3010E sacrifices protocol flexibility, diagnostics, and redundancy to achieve lower unit cost and smaller footprint for dedicated E1 use cases.

FAQ
What line protocols does the DS26303L-120+ support?
The DS26303L-120+ supports E1 (2.048MHz), T1 (1.544MHz), and J1 line rates across all eight channels. Each channel can be independently configured for E1, T1, or J1 operation via register settings. Line encoding is selectable per channel as AMI, HDB3 (for E1), or B8ZS (for T1/J1), and compliance is verified per ANSI T1.102, ITU-T G.703, and ETS 300 233 standards. The DS26303L-120+ uses an on-chip synthesizer to derive required clocks from a single master clock input.
Does the DS26303L-120+ require an external crystal?
No, the DS26303L-120+ includes a crystal-less jitter attenuator that meets ITU-T G.823 requirements without external oscillators. It accepts a single master clock input-multiple of 2.048MHz for E1 or 1.544MHz for T1/J1-and internally adapts it for precise line-rate generation and jitter cleanup. This eliminates BOM cost and layout complexity associated with external VCXOs or TCXOs, and the DS26303L-120+ maintains full specification compliance under this architecture.
What is the default impedance setting for DS26303L-120+?
The DS26303L-120+ defaults to 120Ω line impedance for E1 mode, as indicated by the "-120" suffix in the part number. This applies to internal termination configuration; external 75Ω termination remains supported via external components. The device allows software-selectable transmit and receive-side termination per channel, enabling flexible deployment across regional line standards without hardware changes. All DS26303L-120+ units maintain this 120Ω E1 default regardless of temperature grade or packaging variant.
How does the DS26303L-120+ support redundancy and failover?
The DS26303L-120+ implements hitless-protection switching (HPS) with configurable 1:1 or 1+1 backup architectures. It supports nonintrusive monitoring per G.772, optimal high-impedance standby states, and automatic switchover upon LOS, AIS, or BPV detection-all without service interruption. Redundancy is managed entirely within the DS26303L-120+ via dedicated control registers and hardware signaling, eliminating need for external FPGA or microcontroller coordination during failover events.
What host interface options does the DS26303L-120+ provide?
The DS26303L-120+ supports three host interface modes: 8-bit parallel (Intel or Motorola timing), 4-wire serial, and JTAG boundary scan. Parallel mode uses MODESEL pin to select bus protocol and timing; serial mode uses CLK, DATA, CS, and STB signals. All interfaces allow full register access, BERT control, and interrupt handling. JTAG enables IEEE 1149.1-compliant testing and debug without host processor involvement. The DS26303L-120+ requires no external glue logic for any interface mode.
