Product details
Overview
SAF 82525 N V2.2 from Siemens is a High-Level Serial Communication Controller Extended (HSCX) IC implementing two independent full-duplex HDLC channels for X.25 LAPB, ISDN LAPD, and SDLC-NRM protocol handling. It features 64-byte FIFOs per channel, on-chip DPLL-based clock recovery per channel, 4 Mbit/s max data rate, and 8-bit demultiplexed adaptive bus interface compatible with Intel/Motorola microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the SAF 82525 N V2.2 datasheet, SAF 82525 N V2.2 pinout, SAF 82525 N V2.2 application, or SAF 82525 N V2.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel HDLC offload capability, programmable time-slot assignment (1–256 bit), DMA-driven block transfers (up to 32 bytes), and support for transparent/non-auto/extended transparent operating modes in telecom and packet-switching systems.
Technical Context
The SAF 82525 N V2.2 implements layer-2 procedural support including full-duplex LAPB/LAPD and half-duplex SDLC-NRM with modulo-8/128 operation, programmable retry timeout, and maximum packet size checking. Its serial interface provides DPLL-based clock recovery per channel and supports multiple encoding schemes including NRZ, NRZI, and FM0.
It integrates two independent baudrate generators, each with programmable time-slot assignment and collision-resolving bus configuration. The CPU interface offers 8-bit demultiplexed bus access, four-channel DMA (two per channel), and interrupt-driven data transfer with dedicated DRQ/ACK lines for transmit/receive paths on both channels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | Two-channel HDLC link controller supporting LAPB, LAPD, SDLC-NRM at layer-2 |
| Max Data Rate | 4 Mbit/s per channel - enables high-speed ISDN B-channel and X.25 packet links |
| FIFO Depth | 64 bytes per channel/direction - buffers burst traffic and decouples serial I/O from CPU bus load |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy industrial and telecom 5 V logic systems |
| Power Consumption | 25 mW active / 4 mW standby at 4 MHz - low-power operation for always-on telecom interfaces |
| Package | P-LCC-44-1 (SMD) - hermetically sealed ceramic leadless chip carrier for high-reliability applications |
| Process Technology | Siemens Advanced CMOS 3 - ensures stable timing and low noise in synchronous serial environments |
Pinout & Package
P-LCC-44-1 (SMD) package: 44-pin ceramic leadless chip carrier with J-lead geometry, designed for high-frequency signal integrity and thermal stability in telecom line cards and ISDN terminal adapters.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6, 44 | VDD / GND | Power supply and ground pins - require local decoupling for stable 5 V operation across dual-channel activity |
| 2–5, 7–17, 39–43 | D0–D7, A0–A6, CS, RD/IC1, WR/IC0 | 8-bit demultiplexed address/data bus interface - supports direct connection to Intel 80C86 or Motorola 68000 family without glue logic |
| 18–28, 34–36 | IM1, ALE/IM0, INT, AxCLKA/B, RxCLKA/B, TxCLKA/B | Interrupt and clock control signals - enable synchronous framing, channel-specific clock sourcing, and mode-selectable interrupt generation |
| 29–30, 37–38 | DACKA/B, DRQRA/B, DRQTA/B | DMA handshake lines - allow zero-wait-state block transfers of up to 32-byte frames without CPU intervention |
| 22–27 | RxDA/B, TxDA/B, RTS A/B, CTS A/B, CD A/B | Serial I/O and modem control - support full handshaking and channel-isolated physical layer signaling per HDLC link |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent HDLC channels | Enables simultaneous X.25 LAPB and ISDN LAPD link management on single die - reduces board space and inter-chip skew |
| Programmable time-slot assignment | Per-channel 1–256 bit time-slot length setting - supports TDM-based PCM multiplexing in digital PBX and concentrator designs |
| On-chip DPLL per channel | Eliminates external clock recovery ICs - maintains frame sync under ±100 ppm clock drift in leased-line applications |
| 64-byte FIFO + DMA support | Reduces CPU interrupt overhead by >90% vs. byte-wise polling - critical for real-time packet forwarding in embedded routers |
| Transparent & extended transparent modes | Allows raw bitstream pass-through without HDLC framing - used in proprietary protocol gateways and test equipment |
Applications
| ISDN Terminal Adapter | X.25 Packet Switch Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Connecting analog PSTN devices to digital ISDN networks via S/T interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel HSCX handles LAPD signaling on D-channel and user data on B-channels with independent clock recovery. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate DPLL and protocol engines - reduces BOM count and improves jitter tolerance over 2B+D links. | Use Scenario: Edge node in public X.25 network performing LAPB link establishment and frame relay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Manages full-duplex LAPB I-frames and S-frames with CRC-16 generation/checking and automatic retransmission. Use Value: Offloads 100% of layer-2 processing from host CPU - enables deterministic 10–100 ms frame turnaround in store-and-forward switches. |
| Digital PBX Line Card | Industrial Protocol Gateway |
Use Scenario: 30-channel E1 line termination in enterprise PBX with time-slot mapping to internal bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides programmable time-slot assignment (1–256 bit) and collision-resolving bus configuration for multi-drop TDM backplane. Use Value: Enables dynamic allocation of 64 kbit/s slots across voice/data channels - supports mixed analog/digital extension support. | Use Scenario: Bridging legacy SDLC fieldbus (e.g., IBM 37xx) to modern Ethernet/IP infrastructure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Executes half-duplex SDLC-NRM with modulo-128 sequence numbering and error recovery in transparent mode. Use Value: Maintains bit-level compatibility with mainframe host controllers - avoids firmware rewrite during brownfield upgrades. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar HDLC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAB 82525 N | Same silicon, identical pinout and register map - differs only in ordering code and screening grade | No functional difference; SAB variant qualified for broader industrial temperature range | Select SAB 82525 N for extended temp (-40°C to +85°C) or higher reliability screening |
| SAF 82526 N | Single-channel version - pins 30, 36, 39 marked N.C.; no channel B DMA or serial I/O | Reduced feature set: one HDLC channel, one baudrate generator, no extended transparent mode on channel B | Choose SAF 82526 N when only one ISDN B-channel or X.25 link is required - saves PCB area and cost |
Compared with SAF 82525 N V2.2, the SAB 82525 N offers identical functionality with enhanced environmental qualification, while the SAF 82526 N provides hardware cost reduction at the expense of channel count and time-slot flexibility - selection depends strictly on required link density and operating environment.

FAQ
What communication protocols does the SAF 82525 N V2.2 natively support?
The SAF 82525 N V2.2 natively executes LAPB (X.25), LAPD (ISDN), and SDLC-NRM protocols in auto-mode with full I-frame and S-frame handling, modulo-8/128 sequencing, CRC-16 generation/checking, and programmable retry timeout. It also supports transparent bitstream transmission without protocol framing in dedicated operating modes.
Does the SAF 82525 N V2.2 require an external crystal or oscillator?
No - the SAF 82525 N V2.2 includes on-chip clock generation circuitry and supports both external clock input and internal quartz-based timing. Section 10 of the datasheet specifies quartz requirements: fundamental-mode AT-cut crystals with 1–4 MHz frequency, ±100 ppm stability, and 30 pF load capacitance for reliable DPLL lock.
How is DMA configured for dual-channel operation?
DMA is configured per channel using dedicated DRQ/ACK pairs: DRQRA/DACKA for channel A receive, DRQTA/DACKA for channel A transmit, DRQRB/DACKB for channel B receive, and DRQTB/DACKB for channel B transmit. Each channel supports block transfers of 1–32 bytes with automatic FIFO management and status flagging upon completion.
What is the function of the ALE/IM0 pin?
ALE/IM0 serves dual purpose: as Address Latch Enable during multiplexed bus operation (Intel-style), or as Interrupt Mode 0 select in demultiplexed mode (Motorola-style). Its state determines whether the device uses edge-triggered or level-sensitive interrupt assertion and selects between 8-bit or 16-bit addressing modes per the selected microprocessor interface.
