Product details
Overview
LE58QL021FJCT from Zarlink Semiconductor is a quad low-voltage subscriber line audio-processing circuit (QLSLAC™) designed for telecom line card codec/filter and 2-wire/4-wire conversion. It integrates four independent channels, supports A-law/µ-law/linear coding, operates from 3.3 V CMOS with 5-V tolerant digital inputs, and delivers programmable transhybrid balance, impedance scaling, and equalization for BORSCHT implementation with SLIC devices.
For engineers reviewing the LE58QL021FJCT datasheet, LE58QL021FJCT pinout, LE58QL021FJCT application, or LE58QL021FJCT equivalent, this device is selected for programmable PCM-based telephony line cards requiring software-configurable gain, timing, and supervision across up to 128 time slots per single PCM highway at PCLK up to 8.192 MHz.
Technical Context
The LE58QL021FJCT implements four independent signal processing channels with fully programmable digital filters (GX, GR, Z, B1–B2, X, R) for transmit/receive path gain, frequency response correction, and transhybrid balancing. Its Time Slot Assigner (TSA) enables user-defined time slot mapping and clock edge selection on a single PCM highway.
It features a standard serial microprocessor interface (MPI) with CS/DCLK/DIO/RST/FS/INT signals, supports chopper clock generation (256 kHz or 293 kHz) for Legerity SLIC devices, and includes real-time data register with interrupt output for system monitoring and supervision.

Use Value: Single-chip integration of four codecs eliminates discrete filter components and reduces board area by >40% vs. dual-channel alternatives. |
| Remote Terminal Unit | Emergency Call System |
Use Scenario: Rural telecom remote terminal housing 16–32 analog line interfaces in temperature-hardened enclosure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Centralized audio processor handling all line-side analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog conversion and supervision under -40°C to +85°C operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-line audio-processing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE58QL02FJCT | Dual PCM highway support; four SLIC I/O lines per channel; no C5x supervision inputs | Suitable for systems requiring independent transmit/receive PCM buses (e.g., legacy TDM switches) | Select when dual-highway timing isolation or broadcast-mode SLIC control is required |
| LE58QL031DJCT | 32-pin PLCC; single PCM highway; only two SLIC I/O lines per channel; no C5x inputs | Targeted at space-constrained designs with reduced supervision requirements (e.g., basic FXS modules) | Select when board area is critical and full five-bit supervision per channel is unnecessary |
Compared with LE58QL02FJCT, LE58QL021FJCT trades dual-highway flexibility for expanded five-bit per-channel supervision (C51–C54), while LE58QL031DJCT further reduces pin count and supervision depth to fit compact 32-pin layouts-making LE58QL021FJCT the optimal balance for new single-highway line cards needing full SLIC supervision and software configurability.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LE58QL021FJCT in a telecom line card?
The LE58QL021FJCT serves as a quad-channel audio-processing IC that performs codec, digital filtering, 2-wire/4-wire conversion, and SLIC interface control for BORSCHT implementation. It digitizes analog voice signals into A-law/µ-law PCM and reconstructs them, while enabling software configuration of gain, impedance, echo cancellation, and supervision-all within a single 44-pin PLCC package.
Does the LE58QL021FJCT support both A-law and µ-law companding?
Yes, the LE58QL021FJCT natively supports both ITU-T G.711 A-law and µ-law companding formats, selectable via software configuration. It also supports 16-bit linear PCM coding, allowing flexible integration with DSPs or VoIP processors requiring uncompressed samples.
How many time slots can the LE58QL021FJCT handle on its single PCM highway?
The LE58QL021FJCT supports up to 128 time slots per single PCM highway when operating at the maximum PCLK frequency of 8.192 MHz. Time slot assignment is fully programmable via the Time Slot Assigner (TSA) block using MPI commands 40h–45h.
What is the purpose of the C51–C54 pins on the LE58QL021FJCT?
The C51–C54 pins are dedicated supervision inputs per channel, providing a fifth bit for enhanced line-state monitoring-such as ground key detection, battery reversal, or advanced metering signal recognition-beyond the standard C3x/C4x supervision bits. This capability is unique to the LE58QL021FJCT among the QLSLAC family.
Is the LE58QL021FJCT pin-compatible with the LE58QL02FJCT?
No, the LE58QL021FJCT is not pin-compatible with the LE58QL02FJCT. Although both use 44-pin PLCC packages, LE58QL02FJCT includes dual PCM highway pins (DRB/DXB/TSCB) and lacks C51–C54 supervision inputs, while LE58QL021FJCT adds C5x pins and omits the second highway signals-requiring distinct PCB layouts.
