Product details
Overview
PEF 3394 E V2.2 from Infineon Technologies is a 4-channel analog voice access IC in the VINETIC family, designed for residential gateways and VoIP routers. It integrates TDM codec, DSP-based voice compression (G.726 ADPCM, G.729A/B/E), T.38 fax relay, line echo cancellation up to 128 ms, and AAL2/RTP packetization with adaptive jitter buffer up to 200 ms.
For engineers reviewing the PEF 3394 E V2.2 datasheet, PEF 3394 E V2.2 pinout, PEF 3394 E V2.2 application, or PEF 3394 E V2.2 equivalent, this device supports simultaneous VoCoders (4), programmable ringing (85 VRMS balanced), integrated DTMF/Caller-ID, and GR-909-compliant line testing - critical for CPE voice-over-packet system design.
Technical Context
The PEF 3394 E V2.2 implements a dedicated voice-processing DSP core supporting real-time AAL2 and RTP packetization with adaptive jitter buffering (up to 200 ms) and full T.38 fax relay including V.17/V.21/V.27ter/V.29 modulation support. It complies with ITU-T Q.552 and G.712 for analog interface performance.
Its echo cancellation meets G.168-2002 with 128 ms tail length, and it integrates hardware-accelerated G.726 (16/24/32/40 kbit/s), G.729A/B/E, and G.723.1 codecs - all with patent indemnification from Infineon. The device operates in pin- and software-compatible mode with other VINETIC-4 variants.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel voice-over-packet applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PEF 3394 HL | Same silicon, higher-grade screening (industrial temp range −40°C to +85°C vs. commercial 0°C to +70°C) | Required for outdoor cabinets or uncontrolled environment deployments | Select when extended temperature operation or longer lifecycle reliability is mandated |
| PEB 3324 E | 2-channel variant with identical feature set and pin/SW compatibility; no 4-channel capability | Suitable only for dual-line residential or SOHO systems | Choose only if channel count reduction is acceptable and board layout reuse is prioritized |
Compared with PEF 3394 HL, the V2.2 version offers lower-cost commercial qualification but identical voice processing features; versus PEB 3324 E, it doubles channel density without firmware changes - enabling scalable CPE platform design across 2–4 line SKUs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported jitter buffer depth for PEF 3394 E V2.2?
The device supports an adaptive jitter buffer up to 200 ms, configurable per channel via register settings. This value is implemented in hardware and verified per ITU-T G.114 recommendations for one-way delay tolerance in VoIP systems. Buffer depth directly impacts voice quality under network congestion and is adjustable without firmware recompilation.
Does PEF 3394 E V2.2 require external SDRAM or Flash memory?
No. PEF 3394 E V2.2 integrates on-chip code RAM for firmware download and execution, eliminating the need for external non-volatile memory. External memory is optional only for advanced logging or secondary application storage - not required for baseline VoIP, fax, or echo cancellation functionality.
Which SLIC devices are compatible with PEF 3394 E V2.2?
It supports Infineon's full SLIC portfolio: SLIC-P (PEB 4266), SLIC-E/SLIC-E2 (PEB 4265), SLIC-S/SLIC-S2 (PEB 4264), TSLIC-E/TSLIC-S (PEB 4365/4364), SLIC-LCP (PEB 4262), and SLIC-DC (PEF 4268). Interface compatibility is confirmed in the VINETIC Interfacing Guide, Rev. 2.2.
Is iLBC vocoder support available in PEF 3394 E V2.2?
No. While iLBC was listed as "in preparation" in the 2004 product brief, it was never implemented in PEF 3394 E V2.2 silicon. Supported codecs are G.711, G.726 (16/24/32/40 kbit/s), G.723.1, G.728, and G.729A/B/E - all confirmed in the official datasheet Rev. 2.2 and firmware release notes.
