Product details
Overview
DS26334GN+ 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, internal impedance matching without external resistors, crystal-less jitter attenuation, and G.772 nonintrusive monitoring - deployed in wireless base stations and T1 digital cross-connects.
For engineers reviewing the DS26334GN+ datasheet, DS26334GN+ pinout, DS26334GN+ application, or DS26334GN+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, 256-ball TE-CSBGA package, dual-rail/AMI-HDB3-B8ZS encoding support, receiver signal level indicator (-3dB to -43dB in E1 mode), and built-in BERT diagnostics for telecom infrastructure validation.
Technical Context
The DS26334GN+ integrates 16 independent LIUs with programmable transmit/receive-side impedance matching, on-chip PLL-based clock synthesis from a single master clock (e.g., 2.048MHz or 1.544MHz), and configurable analog/digital loss-of-signal detection per ANSI T1.231, ITU-T G.775, and ETS 300 233 standards.
It supports both Intel- and Motorola-style 8-bit parallel interfaces plus a 4-wire serial interface, features JTAG boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1), and provides analog/digital loopback modes alongside two independent BERT engines - one per 8-channel group - for channel-level bit error testing and diagnostics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 16 independent E1/T1/J1 LIUs with per-channel mode selection |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the DS26334GN+?
The DS26334GN+ is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements for deployment in outdoor wireless base stations, central office equipment, and other telecom infrastructure where ambient conditions exceed commercial grade limits. This specification is confirmed in the official Maxim ordering information table and applies specifically to the DS26334GN+ variant with Pb-free packaging.
Does the DS26334GN+ require external termination resistors?
No, the DS26334GN+ features fully internal impedance matching for both transmit and receive paths, eliminating the need for external termination resistors. This capability is explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the datasheet and verified across all 16 channels, reducing BOM cost and PCB area while improving signal integrity consistency across temperature and voltage variations.
What clock frequencies does the DS26334GN+ accept for its master clock input?
The DS26334GN+ accepts a master clock input that can be a multiple of 2.048MHz (for E1) or 1.544MHz (for T1/J1), such as 8.192MHz, 12.288MHz, or 24.576MHz. The on-chip synthesizer adapts this input to generate precise E1/T1/J1 frame clocks - a capability confirmed in the GENERAL DESCRIPTION and detailed in Table 6-15 (DS26334 MCLK Selections) of the datasheet.
How many BERT engines does the DS26334GN+ integrate, and how are they allocated?
The DS26334GN+ integrates two independent BERT (Bit Error Rate Tester) engines: one dedicated to channels 1–8 and another to channels 9–16. This allocation is documented in the functional diagram, register maps (Tables 6-18 and 6-19), and BERT section (5.9), enabling concurrent diagnostic testing of two 8-channel groups without time-sharing overhead.
Is JTAG boundary scan supported on the DS26334GN+?
Yes, the DS26334GN+ implements full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan with TMS, TCK, TDI, and TDO pins. It supports EXTEST, HIGHZ, CLAMP, SAMPLE/PRELOAD, IDCODE, and BYPASS instructions as defined in Section 7 of the datasheet - enabling production test, in-system debugging, and verification of interconnect integrity on dense telecom PCBs.
