Product details
Overview
PEF 21624 E V1.2-G from Infineon Technologies is a single-channel symmetric DSL (SHDSL) front-end transceiver IC compliant with ITU-T G.991.2 and ETSI TS 101524 standards, integrating DSP, microcontroller, analog front end, line driver, hybrid, and 128-byte TX/RX FIFO per channel. It supports payload rates from 144 kbit/s to 6.392 Mbit/s in 8 kbit/s steps and operates at 3.3 V and 1.8 V supplies with ~500 mW power consumption.
For engineers reviewing the PEF 21624 E V1.2-G datasheet, PEF 21624 E V1.2-G pinout, PEF 21624 E V1.2-G application, or PEF 21624 E V1.2-G equivalent, key selection criteria include G.SHDSL.bis compliance, TDM clock support (1.544–16.384 MHz), M-pair functionality, tunable hybrid for loop adaptation, and LTU/NTU/COT mode flexibility in leased-line and DLC systems.
Technical Context
The PEF 21624 E V1.2-G implements a full SHDSL physical layer stack including TC-PAM line coding, programmable framer, and integrated HDLC controller for EOC handling. Its DSP-based architecture enables real-time line probing per ITU-T G.991.2 (2004) and dynamic PSD shaping for optimal reach on twisted-pair loops.
It operates in three configurable modes-Line Termination Unit (LTU), Network Termination Unit (NTU), and Regenerator (COT/RT)-and features a universal TDM interface with bit-serial host connectivity. The analog front end includes a tunable hybrid and line driver optimized for extended-range E1/T1 and fractional E1/T1 deployment.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PEF 22624 E | 2-channel version in identical P-LBGA-324 package; shares same firmware and pinout | Targets dual-line repeater or dual-NTU DLC nodes; requires no PCB redesign when scaling from single to dual channel | Select for cost-sensitive multi-line deployments where channel density justifies shared thermal and layout overhead |
| PEF 24624 E | 4-channel version with identical feature set and software compatibility; same power per channel (~500 mW) | Suitable for high-port-density SHDSL line cards in central office or aggregation routers | Choose when system-level throughput exceeds 12 Mbit/s or when footprint efficiency per channel is critical |

FAQ
Does PEF 21624 E V1.2-G support G.SHDSL.bis Annex E (M-pair bonding)?
Yes, it fully integrates M-pair functionality per ITU-T G.991.2 Annex E, enabling two or more PEF 21624 E devices to be bonded under a single framer for aggregate data rates up to 12.784 Mbit/s. Configuration is handled via SPI register writes and requires no external logic.
What clock sources are required for TDM interface operation?
The device requires a single external TDM reference clock (1.544, 2.048, 2.312, 4.096, 8.192, or 16.384 MHz) applied to CLKIN. Internal PLLs derive all internal clocks; no additional crystal or oscillator is needed for basic operation.
Is the PEF 21624 E V1.2-G pin-compatible with earlier SOCRATES generations?
No-it belongs to Infineon's second-generation SOCRATES family and is not pin-compatible with first-gen parts like PEF 21620. However, it is pin- and software-compatible with PEF 22624 E and PEF 24624 E within the same generation.
Can the hybrid interface be used with discrete transformers?
Yes-the HYB_IN and HYB_OUT pins provide direct access to the hybrid circuitry, allowing use with standard 1:1 or 1:2.5 isolation transformers. External passive tuning components (capacitors/resistors) adjust common-mode rejection and impedance matching per loop characteristics.
