Product details
Overview
PEF3452HV1.3 from Infineon Technologies is a TE3-LIU™ Line Interface Unit supporting DS3 (44.736 Mbps), STS-1 (51.84 Mbps), and E3 (34.368 Mbps) physical layer interfaces. It integrates receiver clock/data recovery, transmitter pulse shaping, B3ZS/HDB3/AMI line coding, jitter attenuation, and hardware-controlled loopback functions in a single 128-pin TQFP package. Used in T3/E3 multiplexers and channelized/unchannelized link-layer equipment for telecom central office and edge applications.
For engineers reviewing the PEF3452HV1.3 datasheet, PEF3452HV1.3 pinout, PEF3452HV1.3 application, or PEF3452HV1.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include DS3/E3/STS-1 multi-standard compliance, integrated jitter attenuation PLL with ≤0.2 UI peak-to-peak output jitter, hardware-configurable LOS detection per standard, and support for both AMI and bipolar violation coding schemes.
Technical Context
The PEF3452HV1.3 implements a dual-path architecture: a receive path with adaptive equalization, clock and data recovery (CDR), and programmable loss-of-signal (LOS) thresholds per DS3/E3/STS-1; and a transmit path with digital pulse shaping, jitter attenuation PLL operating at 122.88 MHz (DS3), 155.52 MHz (STS-1), or 103.104 MHz (E3), and selectable line coding (B3ZS, HDB3, AMI).
Its hardware control unit enables pin-strapped configuration of framing mode, loopback type (local/remote), alarm reporting, and power-down states without microprocessor intervention. The device uses external crystal (12.288 MHz, 15.552 MHz, or 10.3104 MHz) with ±100 ppm pulling range and supports both differential and single-ended receive input interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rates | DS3: 44.736 Mbps; E3: 34.368 Mbps; STS-1: 51.84 Mbps - enables single-chip support for three legacy telecom standards. |
| Jitter Attenuation | PLL-based attenuation with 30 dB suppression at 10 Hz–1 kHz - reduces incoming jitter to meet SONET/SDH and ITU-T G.742 requirements. |
| Receive Jitter Tolerance | ≤0.75 UI (DS3), ≤0.85 UI (E3), ≤0.75 UI (STS-1) - ensures reliable lock under worst-case network jitter conditions. |
| Transmit Output Jitter | ≤0.2 UI peak-to-peak (DS3/E3/STS-1) - meets GR-499-CORE and ITU-T G.823 mask compliance. |
| Line Coding Support | B3ZS (DS3), HDB3 (E3), AMI (all) - provides standard-compliant encoding for T-carrier and E-carrier physical layers. |

Pinout & Package
PEF3452HV1.3 is housed in a 128-pin TQFP (20 mm × 20 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments are defined across four functional groups: interface pins (RIN+, RIN−, TOUT+, TOUT−), control pins (LOOPI, LOOPR, LOS, ALM), power/ground (VDD, VSS), and test/microprocessor interface (CS, RD, WR, ADDR[7:0]).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RIN+, RIN− | Differential Receive Input | Accepts balanced DS3/E3/STS-1 line signals; internal termination and equalization adapt to cable length up to 450 ft. |
| TOUT+, TOUT− | Differential Transmit Output | Drives 75 Ω coaxial or 120 Ω twisted-pair lines with compliant pulse templates per standard. |
| LOOPI, LOOPR | Hardware Loopback Control | Pin-strapped local (LOOPI) or remote (LOOPR) loopback activation - bypasses line driver/receiver for diagnostics without software. |
| LOS, ALM | Hardware Alarm Outputs | Open-drain status flags indicating loss-of-signal or general alarm condition - directly interfaceable with LED drivers or FPGA GPIO. |
| REFCLK | Reference Clock Input | Accepts 12.288 MHz (E3), 15.552 MHz (STS-1), or 10.3104 MHz (DS3) crystal oscillator input for jitter attenuator PLL. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-standard line interface | Single IC supports DS3, E3, and STS-1 physical layers - eliminates need for separate transceivers in multi-protocol access equipment. |
| Hardware-configurable operation | All critical modes (framing, loopback, alarm polarity) set via dedicated pins - enables boot-time configuration without firmware initialization. |
| Integrated jitter attenuation PLL | On-chip PLL with 30 dB attenuation and ≤0.2 UI output jitter - replaces discrete jitter cleaners and simplifies clock tree design. |
| Standard-compliant pulse shaping | Programmable transmit filter coefficients match DS3/E3/STS-1 pulse templates (Fig. 26–28) - ensures compliance with ANSI T1.102 and ITU-T G.703. |
| Line monitoring capability | DS3/E3/STS-1 receive path includes real-time signal quality monitoring (BER estimation, signal level) - supports proactive network maintenance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar line interface unit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PMC-Sierra PM5352 | Supports DS3/E3 only; no STS-1 mode; requires external microcontroller for configuration. | Lacks native SONET framing support and hardware loopback pins - necessitates firmware-driven setup. | Choose when STS-1 is not required and microprocessor resources are available for register programming. |
| TI TLK2201B | SONET/SDH-only (STS-3c/STM-1); no DS3/E3 support; higher power (1.8 W vs. 1.2 W). | Designed exclusively for OC-3/STM-1 systems; incompatible with T-carrier or E-carrier infrastructure. | Prefer for pure SONET applications where DS3/E3 interoperability is unnecessary and higher jitter performance is needed. |
Compared with PM5352 and TLK2201B, the PEF3452HV1.3 uniquely delivers triple-standard (DS3/E3/STS-1) hardware-configurable operation in one die, reducing system-level complexity for multi-protocol telecom edge devices without sacrificing jitter or pulse-shape compliance.

FAQ
What line coding schemes does the PEF3452HV1.3 support?
The PEF3452HV1.3 supports B3ZS for DS3, HDB3 for E3, and AMI for all three standards (DS3, E3, STS-1). Coding selection is determined by hardware pin strapping and corresponding line rate - no register writes are required. Each mode applies standardized pulse templates verified per ANSI T1.102 (DS3), ITU-T G.703 (E3), and GR-253-CORE (STS-1).
Does the PEF3452HV1.3 require an external microcontroller to operate?
No - the PEF3452HV1.3 supports full hardware configuration via dedicated pins (e.g., LOOPI, LOOPR, FRMSEL, CODESEL) for framing, coding, loopback, and alarm polarity. Microprocessor interface (8-bit address/data bus) is optional and used only for advanced diagnostics or dynamic reconfiguration; basic line interface operation is autonomous.
What is the maximum supported cable length for DS3 operation?
The PEF3452HV1.3 supports DS3 operation over 75 Ω coaxial cable up to 450 ft (137 m), as validated by pulse template compliance in Figure 27 of the preliminary datasheet. This assumes use of recommended external components (e.g., 100 nF AC coupling caps, 75 Ω termination) and meets ANSI T1.102 amplitude and rise/fall time requirements at the cross-connect point.
How does the PEF3452HV1.3 handle loss-of-signal detection across different standards?
LOS detection thresholds are hardware-selectable per standard: –36 dBm for DS3, –40 dBm for E3, and –28 dBm for STS-1. These values align with ITU-T G.703 and ANSI T1.102 specifications and are implemented via internal comparators with hysteresis. The LOS pin asserts within 125 µs of signal disappearance and de-asserts after 2.5 ms of valid signal restoration.
