DS3251/DS3252/DS3253/DS3254
Single/Dual/Triple/Quad
DS3/E3/STS-1 LIUs
www.maxim-ic.com
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS3251 (single), DS3252 (dual), DS3253
(triple), and DS3254 (quad) line interface units (LIUs)
perform the functions necessary for interfacing at the
physical layer to DS3, E3, or STS-1 lines. Each LIU
has independent receive and transmit paths and a
built-in jitter attenuator. An on-chip clock adapter
generates all line-rate clocks from a single input
clock. Control interface options include 8-bit parallel,
SPI, and hardware mode.

Selectable FIFO depth: 16, 32, 64 or 128 bits
Overflow and underflow status indications
Clock Adapter
Operates from a single DS3, E3, STS-1, 19.44 MHz, 38.88 MHz, or 77.76 MHz master clock
Synthesizes clock rates that are not provided externally
Use of common system timing frequencies such as 19.44 MHz eliminates the need for any local oscillators,
reduces cost and board space
Very small jitter gain and intrinsic jitter generation
Optionally provides synthesized clocks on output pins for use by neighboring components, such as framers or
mappers
Parallel CPU Interface
Multiplexed or nonmultiplexed 8-bit interface
Configurable for Intel mode (CS,

Operation up to 10 Mbit/s
Burst mode for multi-byte read and write accesses
Programmable clock polarity and phase
Half-duplex operation gives option to tie SDI and SDO together externally to reduce wire count
