Product details
Overview
DS26334G+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-channel E1/T1/J1 short- and long-haul line interface unit (LIU) operating from a single 3.3V supply, supporting independent per-channel E1/T1/J1 selection, fully internal impedance matching (no external resistors), and crystal-less jitter attenuation. It delivers -38dB T1 and -43dB E1 receiver sensitivity with 2.5dB resolution level indication, and integrates dual BERT testers for diagnostics in telecom infrastructure applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS26334G+ datasheet, DS26334G+ pinout, DS26334G+ application, or DS26334G+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 256-ball TE-CSBGA package, IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan support, G.772 nonintrusive monitoring capability, and software-selectable AMI/HDB3/B8ZS encoding - all critical for carrier-grade TDM equipment design and validation.
Technical Context
The DS26334G+ implements 16 independent LIUs with configurable transmit/receive-side impedance matching and selectable single-rail or dual-rail operation. Its on-chip synthesizer adapts external master clocks (multiples of 1.544MHz or 2.048MHz) to generate precise E1/T1/J1 frame and bit clocks without external PLLs.
Each channel supports analog/digital loss-of-signal detection per ANSI T1.231, ITU-T G.775, and ETS 300 233, plus AIS generation/detection and bipolar violation monitoring. The integrated jitter attenuator meets G.772 requirements for nonintrusive monitoring across 14–30dB resistive + 12–30dB cable attenuation combinations.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar line interface unit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS26528+ | 32-channel LIU with identical 256-ball TE-CSBGA package and same core architecture; higher channel density but no J1 support | Targeted at high-port-count E1/T1 muxes where J1 compatibility is not required | Select DS26528+ when scaling beyond 16 channels and J1 operation is unnecessary |
| MAX3695A | Single-channel T1/E1 LIU in 48-pin TQFP; lacks on-chip clock synthesis, BERT, and G.772 monitoring | Suitable for low-channel-count add-on cards or replacement modules where space and feature set are less constrained | Choose MAX3695A only for retrofit or low-density applications where DS26334G+ features are unused |
Compared with DS26334G+, DS26528+ offers double channel count in the same footprint but omits J1 support, while MAX3695A trades integration for simplicity and lower cost per channel - making DS26334G+ optimal for balanced 16-channel E1/T1/J1 systems requiring full telecom feature compliance.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DS26334G+?
The DS26334G+ is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation. This commercial temperature grade is validated for use in controlled-environment telecom equipment such as central office line cards, enterprise routers, and indoor base station cabinets. The '+' suffix confirms lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant packaging, aligning with modern environmental compliance requirements for the DS26334G+.
Does DS26334G+ support both short-haul and long-haul E1/T1 operation?
Yes, DS26334G+ supports both short-haul and long-haul operation per channel. It includes programmable transmit templates and receive monitor mode calibrated for 14–30dB resistive attenuation plus 12–30dB cable loss, meeting ITU-T G.772 requirements. The DS26334G+ achieves this through configurable front-end gain, adaptive equalization, and dual-rail output drive capability - all verified in the official DS26334 datasheet.
How does DS26334G+ handle clock generation without an external crystal?
DS26334G+ uses an on-chip synthesizer that accepts a single master clock (e.g., 8.192MHz, 16.384MHz, or other multiples of 1.544/2.048MHz) and internally derives all required E1/T1/J1 bit and frame clocks. This crystal-less jitter attenuator meets G.823/G.824 masks and eliminates external oscillators - a key design advantage confirmed in the DS26334G+ functional description and clock architecture section.
Can DS26334G+ be used in J1 applications?
Yes, DS26334G+ explicitly supports J1 operation alongside E1 and T1. The device allows independent per-channel selection of E1, T1, or J1 mode, including J1-specific line encoding (B8ZS) and timing parameters. This multi-standard capability is documented in the GENERAL DESCRIPTION, FEATURES, and APPLICATIONS sections of the DS26334G+ datasheet.
What host interface options does DS26334G+ provide?
DS26334G+ supports two host interface configurations: an 8-bit parallel interface compatible with Intel or Motorola bus timing, and a 4-wire serial interface (clock, data in/out, chip select). The MODE pin selects interface type at power-up, and register maps define full control for both modes - details are specified in Sections 4 (Pin Descriptions) and 5.1 (Port Operation) of the DS26334G+ datasheet.
