Product details
Overview
PXB4220E-V32 from Infineon Technologies is an Interworking Element (IWE8) IC designed for ATM/AAL5 and CES transport across 8 E1/T1 lines. It integrates ATM transmit/receive, AAL segmentation/reassembly, internal clock recovery (ICRC) with SRTS/ACM/PLL-FILTER modes, UTOPIA Level 2 interface, and supports structured/unstructured CES with CAS conditioning. Used in carrier-grade line cards and echo canceller subsystems requiring precise timing alignment and cell-level traffic management.
For engineers reviewing the PXB4220E-V32 datasheet, PXB4220E-V32 pinout, PXB4220E-V32 application, or PXB4220E-V32 equivalent, key selection criteria include UTOPIA Level 2 compatibility, dual-mode clock recovery (SRTS + ACM), 8-channel E1/T1 framer interface support, AAL5 reassembly buffer configuration, and IMA interface capability for multi-link aggregation.
Technical Context
The PXB4220E-V32 implements a full ATM layer 1–2 interworking function with hardware-accelerated AAL5 segmentation and reassembly. Its ICRC block supports three PLL configurations: SRTS (Stratum-3 compliant), ACM (Adaptive Clock Mode), and FILTER mode for jitter attenuation - all configurable per port.
It features dual-framer interface modes: FALC Mode (FAM) for direct SLIC interfacing and Generic Interface Mode (GIM) for T1/E1 line framing with selectable sync rates (2.048 MHz or 8.192 MHz). The UTOPIA Level 2 interface operates at up to 100 MHz with backpressure signaling and port-specific cell discarding.

Applications
| Line Card | Echo Canceller |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Carrier-class access node aggregating 8 E1 circuits into ATM backbone via DSLAM or MSAN. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Interworking Element performing CES-to-ATM conversion, clock recovery from E1 lines, and UTOPIA handoff to ATM switch fabric. Use Value: Eliminates external clock aligners and AAL5 processors; reduces BOM count by integrating framer, ATM, and timing functions in one IC. |
Use Scenario: Embedded echo cancellation module in VoIP gateways synchronizing voice payloads across T1 trunks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides CAS-aware structured CES transport with freezing and RTS synchronization to preserve voice sample timing integrity.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IMA interface controller managing cell interleaving, sequence numbering, and link failure recovery across bonded T1s. Use Value: Delivers deterministic latency and guaranteed bandwidth scaling without requiring protocol translation at higher layers. |
Use Scenario: PSTN-to-IMS gateway converting circuit-switched E1 trunks to packetized media streams for SIP trunking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unstructured CES mode maps entire E1 timeslots transparently into ATM cells while preserving frame alignment and bit transparency. Use Value: Preserves legacy signaling (e.g., R2, SS7 MTP2) and supervisory bits without modification or interpretation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar interworking element applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PMC-Sierra PM5352 | Single-chip ATM SAR + UTOPIA; lacks integrated E1/T1 framer and ICRC - requires external clock recovery and line interface. | Targeted at pure ATM switching nodes where framer and timing are handled upstream; not suitable for direct E1/T1 line termination. | Select when UTOPIA-to-ATM SAR offload is primary need and framer/timing are already implemented externally. |
| Conexant CX82310 | Integrated SLIC + framer + ATM SAR; supports only T1 (no E1), no IMA, and fixed SRTS-only clock recovery. | Limited to North American T1 deployments; cannot replace PXB4220E-V32 in E1-dominant or multi-standard environments. | Choose only for cost-sensitive T1-only access gateways where E1 support and IMA are unnecessary. |
Compared with PM5352 and CX82310, the PXB4220E-V32 uniquely integrates framer, ICRC, AAL5 engine, and IMA in one package - enabling full E1/T1 line card functionality without companion ICs, reducing PCB area by ≥35% and eliminating inter-IC timing skew.

FAQ
What clock sources does the PXB4220E-V32 support for E1 line synchronization?
The PXB4220E-V32 accepts 2.048 MHz or 8.192 MHz reference clocks on CLKIN for E1 framing. Its Internal Clock Recovery Circuit (ICRC) supports SRTS mode to derive Stratum-3-compliant timing directly from E1 line signals, eliminating need for external clock synthesizers or DPLLs in line-card designs.
Does the PXB4220E-V32 support both structured and unstructured Circuit Emulation Service (CES)?
Yes - it supports both modes. Structured CES preserves E1/T1 frame alignment and CAS bits with freezing and RTS synchronization; unstructured CES maps raw timeslot data transparently into ATM cells without interpretation. Both are configurable per channel via register settings defined in DS3 Section 4.11.
How does the UTOPIA Level 2 interface handle flow control during high-throughput ATM traffic?
It uses active-high FIFO_FULL signaling to assert backpressure when the internal UTOPIA receive FIFO reaches 90% capacity. Per-port backpressure (Section 5.2.2.2) allows selective throttling of individual ATM ports without stalling the entire interface, preventing cell loss under bursty traffic conditions.
Can the PXB4220E-V32 operate without external RAM?
No - it requires external SRAM connected via its dedicated External RAM Interface (Section 2.2.6). The AAL5 reassembly buffer, segmentation buffers, and descriptor tables reside in external memory; minimum required size is 128 KB for full 8-channel operation with maximum buffer depth.
