Product details
Overview
DS33X11+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-port Ethernet-over-PDH mapping device that encapsulates IEEE 802.3 MAC frames in GFP-F, HDLC, cHDLC, or X.86 for transmission over T1/E1/J1, T3/E3, or xDSL TDM streams. It supports eLAN/eLINE/VLAN services, provides wire-speed store-and-forward bridging, and operates across -40°C to +85°C. Used in carrier-grade LAN extension over legacy telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the DS33X11+ datasheet, DS33X11+ pinout, DS33X11+ application, or DS33X11+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context on Ethernet-to-TDM encapsulation, VCAT/LCAS link aggregation readiness, QoS policy enforcement, DDR SDRAM buffer interface, and SPI/parallel microprocessor control - all specific to the 1×1 TDM/Ethernet port configuration.
Technical Context
The DS33X11+ implements a full Ethernet MAC (MII/GMII/RMII) with autonegotiation and flow control, coupled to a programmable packet processor supporting GFP-F, HDLC, cHDLC, and X.86 encapsulation/decapsulation. It performs per-frame classification, priority queuing, VLAN/Q-in-Q tagging, and CIR/CBS policing at line rate.
Its serial WAN interface supports synchronous bidirectional interconnect up to 52Mbps over T1/E1/J1, T3/E3, or optical links. The device integrates a DDR SDRAM controller for external 256Mb, 125MHz DDR memory and offers both parallel and SPI microprocessor interfaces with IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test support.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Ethernet-over-TDM mapping applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS33X41+ | 4× TDM ports, same 1× Ethernet port, identical encapsulation engines and QoS architecture - shares full register compatibility and firmware footprint | Supports multi-link bonding (VCAT/LCAS) and higher aggregate throughput (up to 208Mbps); requires larger 256-ball CSBGA footprint | Select DS33X41+ when aggregating multiple T1/E1 lines or scaling beyond single-circuit capacity - no software changes required |
| DS33W11+ | Includes 1× voice port (G.703/G.704 compliant) alongside 1× TDM and 1× Ethernet port; otherwise identical mapping and bridging functionality | Enables integrated voice+data service delivery (e.g., VoIP trunking with data backup); adds codec interface pins and voice-specific registers | Select DS33W11+ when voice channel integration is required - same pinout family but different ball map due to added voice signals |
Compared with DS33X41+ and DS33W11+, the DS33X11+ provides minimal-footprint, single-TDM-circuit EoPDH mapping with full feature parity except port count and voice capability - ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained edge deployments where scalability or voice are not required.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS33X11+ in an Ethernet-over-TDM system?
The DS33X11+ serves as a standards-compliant Ethernet-to-TDM mapper, converting IEEE 802.3 frames into GFP-F, HDLC, cHDLC, or X.86 encapsulated payloads for transmission over T1/E1/J1, T3/E3, or xDSL physical layers. It performs wire-speed store-and-forward bridging, traffic classification, and QoS enforcement - enabling carrier-grade eLAN and eLINE services. DS33X11+ is designed for single-circuit deployments where compact size and low power are critical.
Does the DS33X11+ support VCAT/LCAS link aggregation?
The DS33X11+ includes full register-level and firmware compatibility with the VCAT/LCAS protocol stack defined in ITU-T G.7042, but it implements only one TDM port and therefore cannot perform physical link aggregation itself. Its design allows seamless migration to multiport variants like DS33X41+ or DS33X162+ without software redesign - making it ideal for scalable network edge architectures where future expansion is anticipated.
What external memory does the DS33X11+ require, and why is it necessary?
The DS33X11+ requires an external 256Mb, 125MHz DDR SDRAM to serve as its frame buffer memory. This off-chip architecture enables large packet buffering (supporting >200ms differential delay per ITU-T G.7041), accommodates bursty Ethernet traffic, and provides sufficient depth for QoS queuing and traffic shaping functions. Without this external memory, DS33X11+ cannot perform store-and-forward bridging or enforce CIR/CBS policies - it is mandatory for full functionality.
Can the DS33X11+ operate with both MII and GMII Ethernet interfaces simultaneously?
No, the DS33X11+ supports MII, RMII, or GMII Ethernet interfaces - but only one mode is active at a time, selected via strap pins and register configuration during initialization. The choice depends on PHY selection and board layout constraints: MII is used for 10/100Mbps with discrete PHYs, GMII for 1000Mbps, and RMII for reduced pin count in space-constrained designs. DS33X11+ does not multiplex or switch between modes dynamically in operation.
Is the DS33X11+ pin-compatible with other devices in the DS33X-family?
No, the DS33X11+ uses a 144-ball, 10mm × 10mm CSBGA package (56-G6008-003), while all other DS33X-family members (e.g., DS33X41+, DS33X162+) use a 256-ball, 17mm × 17mm CSBGA (56-G6017-001). Although register maps and firmware are highly aligned across the family, the DS33X11+ has a distinct pinout optimized for its single-port configuration - PCB layout is not interchangeable with multiport variants.
