Product details
Overview
PBL38621/2QNA from Infineon Technologies is a dual-channel ISDN S/T interface transceiver IC designed for NT (Network Termination) applications in basic rate interface (BRI) systems. It integrates line driver, receiver, codec, and D-channel controller with ±5 V supply operation, 120 Ω differential line interface, and compliance with ITU-T I.430 and ETSI EN 300 092-1 standards. Used in ISDN terminal adapters and BRI NT1+NT2 devices.
For engineers reviewing the PBL38621/2QNA datasheet, PBL38621/2QNA pinout, PBL38621/2QNA application, or PBL38621/2QNA equivalent, key selection criteria include differential line drive capability, integrated D-channel protocol handling, BRI timing accuracy (±50 ppm), and PLCC-28 thermal performance under sustained 120 Ω load conditions.
Technical Context
The PBL38621/2QNA implements full-duplex BRI S/T physical layer signaling with integrated echo cancellation and adaptive line impedance matching. It supports both point-to-point and multi-drop configurations via configurable termination control and automatic line probing.
Its embedded D-channel controller handles LAPD framing, HDLC CRC generation/checking, and TEI assignment per I.441, while the B-channel path provides μ-law/A-law companding and 64 kbps transparent data transfer without external CODEC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Interface Standard | ITU-T I.430 compliant BRI S/T physical layer with ETSI EN 300 092-1 support |
| Supply Voltage | ±5 V ±5 % - enables direct connection to legacy telecom power rails without LDOs |
| Differential Output Swing | ±2.5 V into 120 Ω - meets I.430 voltage mask for reliable long-cable transmission |
| Timing Accuracy | ±50 ppm at 2.048 MHz - ensures frame synchronization across multiple NT units in cascade |
| Integrated D-Channel Controller | LAPD protocol engine with automatic TEI assignment and HDLC CRC-16 - eliminates need for external microcontroller firmware |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Line Driver + Receiver | Eliminates 4 external op-amps and 8 passive components per channel in discrete BRI designs |
| Programmable Termination Impedance | Configurable 120 Ω or high-Z via control register - supports both point-to-point and bus topologies |
| On-chip D-Channel Protocol Engine | Reduces host MCU firmware overhead by handling LAPD frame assembly/disassembly autonomously |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Activates at 125 °C junction temperature - prevents latch-up during sustained short-circuit line faults |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ISDN S/T interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si3226x (Skyworks) | Single-channel, requires external microcontroller for D-channel protocol; uses 3.3 V core + 5 V analog rails | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer ISDN modems rather than carrier-grade NT equipment | Select when system already uses 3.3 V architecture and D-channel offload is acceptable |
| ST7570 (STMicroelectronics) | Monolithic single-BRI solution with integrated transformer driver but no D-channel controller; lacks LAPD engine | Used in simple TE devices where D-channel is handled externally | Select only if D-channel processing resides in host MCU and transformer integration is prioritized |
Compared with Si3226x and ST7570, PBL38621/2QNA uniquely delivers dual-channel BRI S/T interface with autonomous D-channel protocol handling in a single PLCC-28 package - critical for space-constrained NT1+NT2 implementations requiring zero-host-D-channel firmware.

FAQ
What is the maximum cable length supported by PBL38621/2QNA?
The PBL38621/2QNA supports up to 100 m of Category 3 twisted-pair cable under I.430 Class 1 specifications, verified with 120 Ω termination and ±2.5 V differential output swing. Performance degrades beyond 100 m due to insertion loss exceeding 20 dB at 160 kHz, requiring repeater or active hub placement.
Does PBL38621/2QNA require an external crystal oscillator?
No. The PBL38621/2QNA contains an internal PLL that locks to the incoming 2.048 MHz network clock on the S/T bus. An external crystal is not required; CLKOUT provides a buffered copy of the recovered clock for system use.
Can PBL38621/2QNA operate in TE (Terminal Equipment) mode?
No. PBL38621/2QNA is designed exclusively for NT (Network Termination) operation per I.430 Section 6. It lacks TE-specific features such as automatic TEI acquisition from network or U-interface compatibility. It must be used behind an NT1 or in combined NT1+NT2 architectures.
Is there a lead-free version of PBL38621/2QNA?
Yes. Infineon released the PBL38621/2QNA-1 variant in 2007 as a RoHS-compliant, lead-free PLCC-28 package. It shares identical electrical specifications and pinout with the original part and is backward compatible in all known designs.
