Product details
Overview
PEF3452H-V13 from Infineon Technologies is a TE3-LIU™ Line Interface Unit IC designed for DS3 (44.736 Mbps), STS-1 (51.84 Mbps), and E3 (34.368 Mbps) digital telecommunication line interfaces. It integrates full receive and transmit signal conditioning, clock recovery, jitter attenuation, AMI/B3ZS/HDB3 line coding, and hardware-controlled loopback functions in a single 128-pin TQFP package. The device supports line monitoring, AIS insertion, and loss-of-signal detection per ITU-T G.704/G.706 standards, targeting central office and edge multiplexer applications.
For engineers reviewing the PEF3452H-V13 datasheet, PEF3452H-V13 pinout, PEF3452H-V13 application, or PEF3452H-V13 equivalent, key selection criteria include DS3/STS-1/E3 multi-standard compatibility, integrated jitter attenuation PLL, hardware-configurable line coding, and support for both channelized and unchannelized T3 link layer architectures.
Technical Context
The PEF3452H-V13 implements a dual-path architecture: a receive path with adaptive clock and data recovery (CDR), programmable equalization, and LOS detection per standard-specific thresholds (e.g., DS3 LOS at –41.5 dBm); and a transmit path featuring a pulse shaper, programmable line driver, and selectable AMI/B3ZS/HDB3 encoding. Its jitter attenuator uses a second-order PLL with center frequencies of 44.736 MHz (DS3), 51.84 MHz (STS-1), or 34.368 MHz (E3), achieving ≤0.2 UI peak-to-peak output jitter under specified input conditions.
Control is executed via dedicated hardware pins (no microprocessor interface required), enabling reset, local/remote loopback, power-down, and line-inactive states without firmware. The device operates from a single 3.3 V supply with separate analog/digital domains and supports crystal-based or external reference clock inputs (REFCLK) for timing stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rates | Supports 34.368 Mbps (E3), 44.736 Mbps (DS3), and 51.84 Mbps (STS-1) - enables single-device deployment across three major T-carrier/E-carrier standards. |
| Jitter Attenuation | Second-order PLL with ≤0.2 UI peak-to-peak output jitter - ensures compliant signal integrity for long-haul transmission and inter-equipment synchronization. |
| Line Coding | AMI, B3ZS, and HDB3 selectable per standard - satisfies regional regulatory requirements (e.g., B3ZS for North American DS3, HDB3 for E3). |
| LOS Detection Threshold | –41.5 dBm for DS3, –39.5 dBm for STS-1, –40.0 dBm for E3 - provides standardized fault detection aligned with ITU-T G.704 Annex A. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±5% - compatible with modern low-voltage telecom infrastructure and reduces system-level power conversion complexity. |
| Package | 128-pin TQFP (20 mm × 20 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - supports high-density PCB layouts while enabling thermal dissipation up to 1.2 W. |
Pinout & Package
PEF3452H-V13 is housed in a 128-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with exposed thermal pad, rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Pin assignments are grouped into interface (RX/TX differential pairs), control (RESET#, LOOP#, PWDN#), power (VDDA/VDDD/AGND/DGND), and test/debug functions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RXP/RXN | Differential Receive Input | Accepts AMI/B3ZS/HDB3-encoded line signals; internal equalizer adapts to cable length up to 450 ft (DS3). |
| TXP/TXN | Differential Transmit Output | Drives 75 Ω coaxial or 120 Ω twisted-pair lines with programmable amplitude and pulse shaping per standard. |
| REFCLK | Reference Clock Input | Accepts 34.368/44.736/51.84 MHz clock for jitter attenuator PLL; supports crystal oscillator connection via XIN/XOUT. |
| RESET# | Active-Low Hardware Reset | Asynchronous reset that initializes all internal registers and disables outputs until deasserted. |
| LOOP# | Remote Loopback Control | When asserted, routes received data directly to transmitter input - enables end-to-end line testing without external loopback hardware. |
| PWDN# | Power-Down Control | Reduces current consumption to <1 mA by disabling analog front-end and PLL while retaining register state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-standard line interface | Single IC supports E3, DS3, and STS-1 physical layers - eliminates need for separate transceivers and simplifies BOM management. |
| Hardware-only configuration | No microcontroller or firmware required - pin-strapped operation enables deterministic boot behavior and reduces system validation effort. |
| Integrated jitter attenuation PLL | Second-order loop with programmable bandwidth (10–50 kHz) - suppresses incoming jitter while maintaining phase alignment for synchronous networks. |
| Standard-compliant pulse templates | Meets ANSI T1.102 (DS3), ITU-T G.707 (STS-1), and ITU-T G.751 (E3) mask requirements - ensures interoperability with legacy and new network equipment. |
| Line monitoring capability | Detects signal presence, alarms, and framing errors without disrupting traffic - supports OAM&P functions in carrier-grade access systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar line interface unit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PEF3451H-V13 | Single-rate version supporting only DS3 (44.736 Mbps); lacks STS-1/E3 modes and associated coding logic. | Restricted to North American DS3 deployments; cannot replace PEF3452H-V13 in multi-standard or ETSI-regulated systems. | Select only when DS3-only functionality and lower cost ($1.80 less) outweigh flexibility needs. |
| ICS8430-01 | JEDEC-compliant jitter cleaner with no integrated line driver/receiver; requires external analog front-end and coding logic. | Suitable for clock regeneration only - not a drop-in replacement for full line interface functionality. | Choose only if existing design already includes discrete SLIC and coding ICs, and jitter cleanup is the sole unmet requirement. |
Compared with PEF3451H-V13, the PEF3452H-V13 adds STS-1/E3 support and hardware configurability at modest cost premium; versus ICS8430-01, it delivers complete PHY-layer integration but trades off clock-flexibility for application-specific optimization.

FAQ
Does PEF3452H-V13 support automatic rate detection?
No. Rate selection (DS3/STS-1/E3) is fixed at power-up via hardware strap pins (RATE0/RATE1). The device does not perform auto-negotiation or dynamic rate switching. Configuration must match the line signal's actual data rate and coding scheme to avoid framing errors or LOS assertion.
What crystal frequency is required for E3 operation?
A 34.368 MHz fundamental-mode crystal is required for E3 mode when using the internal oscillator. The crystal must meet load capacitance specifications (12 pF) and stability of ±50 ppm over temperature, as defined in Section 6.4.3 of the datasheet. External REFCLK at 34.368 MHz is also supported.
Can PEF3452H-V13 drive 120 Ω twisted-pair cables?
Yes. The transmitter supports both 75 Ω coaxial and 120 Ω balanced twisted-pair interfaces. Differential output voltage swing is configurable (0.8–1.6 Vpp) via external resistors per Table 11, and return loss meets ITU-T G.703 requirements for both impedances.
Is there an evaluation board available for PEF3452H-V13?
Yes. Infineon's EVAL-P3452H-V13 evaluation kit includes a fully populated PCB with SMA connectors, crystal oscillator, level-shifting interface, and jumper-configurable rate/coding settings. It supports real-time monitoring of RCLK, TXP/TXN, and status pins via test points and onboard LEDs.
