Product details
Overview
SAB82525N-V21TR from Siemens AG is a dual-channel High-Level Serial Communication Controller Extended (HSCX) IC implementing full-duplex HDLC/LAPB/LAPD/SDLC protocol handling, featuring 64-byte FIFO per channel, 4 Mbit/s max data rate, and integrated DPLL-based clock recovery per channel - deployed in ISDN terminal adapters and X.25 packet-switching gateways.
For engineers reviewing the SAB82525N-V21TR datasheet, SAB82525N-V21TR pinout, SAB82525N-V21TR application, or SAB82525N-V21TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel HDLC offload capability, 8-bit demultiplexed bus interface compatibility with Intel/Motorola µPs, DMA-driven block transfers (32-byte bursts), and programmable time-slot assignment for TDM systems.
Technical Context
The SAB82525N-V21TR implements two independent serial channels, each with dedicated DPLL for clock recovery, dual baudrate generators, and fully autonomous layer-2 processing including CRC-16 generation/checking, bit stuffing, flag detection, and address field recognition. It supports auto-mode (LAPB/LAPD/SDLC), non-auto mode, and multiple transparent modes with configurable ADM control.
Its CPU interface provides 8-bit demultiplexed addressing (A0–A6), interrupt signaling (INT), four DMA request lines (DRQTA/DRQRA/DRQTB/DRQRB), and two DMA acknowledge lines (DACKA/DACKB), enabling efficient memory-mapped I/O and burst transfers without CPU intervention during frame transmission or reception.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | Dual independent full-duplex HDLC channels - enables concurrent ISDN B-channel handling or split LAPD/LAPB links. |
| Max Data Rate | 4 Mbit/s per channel - supports E1/T1 framing and high-speed X.25 packet relay. |
| FIFO Depth | 64 bytes per channel/direction - buffers up to 17 short HDLC frames, reducing interrupt frequency by >80% vs. byte-wise I/O. |
| Bus Interface | 8-bit demultiplexed adaptive interface - directly connects to Siemens/Intel/Motorola 8/16-bit µP buses without glue logic. |
| Power Consumption | 25 mW active (4 MHz), 4 mW standby - suitable for low-power telecom line cards and embedded gateway modules. |
| Protocol Support | LAPB (X.25), LAPD (ISDN), SDLC-NRM, HDLC - hardware-accelerated layer-2 functions eliminate host software overhead. |
| Encoding Modes | NRZ, NRZI, FM0, Manchester - selectable per channel for compatibility with legacy modems and PCM systems. |
Pinout & Package
P-LCC-44-1 (plastic leaded chip carrier, 44-pin, surface-mount). Pin layout validated per Siemens User's Manual 10.94, Figure "Pin Configurations (top view)" for SAB 82525.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RES | Asynchronous Reset Input | Active-low global reset - initializes all registers, FIFOs, and state machines; requires ≥100 ns pulse width. |
| CS | Chip Select Input | Enables register access only when low - allows multi-device bus sharing with address decoding. |
| WR/IC0, RD/IC1 | Write/Read Control + Interrupt Configuration | Demultiplexed control: WR writes registers, RD reads status/data; IC0/IC1 configure interrupt polarity and level. |
| A0–A6 | Address Inputs | 7-bit register address bus - selects among 128 internal registers including SP-REGs, command/status, and FIFO control. |
| D0–D7 | Data Bus | 8-bit bidirectional data path - transfers command bytes, status flags, and frame payloads synchronously with WR/RD. |
| INT | Interrupt Request Output | Open-drain, active-low - signals frame completion, error, or FIFO threshold events; supports wired-OR interrupt chaining. |
| DRQTA, DRQRA, DRQTB, DRQRB | DMA Request Outputs | Four independent request lines - DRQTA/DRQRA for channel A Tx/Rx; DRQTB/DRQRB for channel B - trigger DMA cycles per channel. |
| DACKA, DACKB | DMA Acknowledge Inputs | Per-channel handshake - DACKA confirms channel A DMA grant; DACKB confirms channel B grant; enables burst transfers. |
| RxCLKA, RxCLKB | Receive Clock Inputs | External or DPLL-derived clocks - sample incoming serial data; DPLL locks to incoming bit stream for jitter-tolerant recovery. |
| TxCLKA, TxCLKB | Transmit Clock Inputs | Source for serial output timing - may be derived from on-chip baudrate generator or external source for synchronous master mode. |
| AxCLKA, AxCLKB | Alternate Clock Inputs | Secondary clock sources - used for auxiliary timing, e.g., time-slot synchronization in TDM applications. |
| RxDA, RxDB | Receive Data Inputs | Differential or single-ended serial inputs - accept NRZ/NRZI/FM0/Manchester encoded streams per channel. |
| TxDA, TxDB | Transmit Data Outputs | Serial outputs - drive line drivers or modems; support programmable data inversion and one-bit insertion for HDLC compliance. |
| RTSA, RTSB | Request-to-Send Outputs | Flow control handshaking - assert before transmission; support special RTS function for modem control and channel activation. |
| CTSA/CxDA, CTSB/CxDB | Clear-to-Send / Carrier Detect Inputs | Modem status inputs - CTSA/B indicate remote readiness; CxDA/B detect carrier presence for automatic link establishment. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel HDLC offload | Hardware executes flag detection, bit stuffing, CRC-16, and frame alignment - frees host CPU from real-time layer-2 processing. |
| Programmable time-slot assignment | Each channel supports independent time-slot length (1–256 bits) and position - enables integration into PCM-based TDM multiplexers. |
| 4-channel DMA interface | Separate DRQ/DACK per channel direction - enables zero-CPU-overhead block transfers of up to 32-byte payloads using standard µP DMA controllers. |
| Transparent mode operation | Full bypass of HDLC framing - transmits/receives raw byte streams without modification, supporting proprietary protocols or test patterns. |
| Receive length check | Configurable minimum/maximum frame size validation - discards undersized/oversized frames before CPU notification, reducing software error handling load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDLC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Z8536 | Single-channel Zilog ESCC; no integrated DPLL; requires external clock recovery circuitry. | Limited to point-to-point SDLC links; unsuitable for ISDN LAPD due to missing time-slot and DPLL features. | Select when cost-sensitive, single-link designs dominate and external clock recovery is acceptable. |
| SAB82526N | Pin/software compatible single-channel variant; identical register set and FIFO depth but only channel A implemented. | Reduces PCB area and power by 30%; used where only one HDLC link is required (e.g., single-BRI terminal). | Choose for simplified design, lower BOM count, and identical firmware reuse in single-channel deployments. |
Compared with Z8536 and SAB82526N, the SAB82525N-V21TR uniquely delivers dual-channel HDLC with on-chip DPLL, time-slot assignment, and 4-channel DMA - making it the only option for compact, low-latency ISDN or X.25 multi-link gateways requiring autonomous layer-2 processing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate per channel?
The SAB82525N-V21TR supports up to 4 Mbit/s per channel in synchronous mode. This rate is achievable with external clock input or internal baudrate generator configured for high-frequency operation. The DPLL maintains lock within ±100 ppm jitter, ensuring reliable frame recovery at full speed.
Does it support both LAPB and LAPD protocols simultaneously?
Yes - each channel operates independently and can be configured for different protocols. Channel A may run LAPB (X.25) while Channel B runs LAPD (ISDN), enabled via separate MODE register settings (MDS1/MDS0) and protocol-specific command sequences defined in the register map.
How does the DPLL function in receive mode?
The DPLL recovers clock from incoming serial data using phase comparison against an internal reference. It locks to bit rates from 2.4 kbit/s to 4 Mbit/s, tracks frequency drift up to ±100 ppm, and provides stable RxCLK output for sampling - eliminating need for external clock recovery ICs in most telecom applications.
Is the SAB82525N-V21TR RoHS compliant?
No - manufactured in 1994 under Siemens' pre-RoHS process, the SAB82525N-V21TR contains lead in solder and packaging materials. It is intended for legacy system repair, military/aerospace obsolescence management, and industrial equipment with extended lifecycle requirements where RoHS exemption applies.
