Abstract: This application note provides the information required to use the DS3150 line interface unit (LIU) in place of the TDK 78P7200, TDK 78P200L, and TDK 78P2241. The DS3150 LIU performs all the functions necessary for interfacing at the physical layer to T3, E3, and STS-1 lines.

Introduction

The DS3150 is a full-featured line interface unit (LIU) that performs all of the functions necessary for interfacing at the physical layer to T3, E3, and STS-1 lines. The DS3150 is pin compatible with the TDK 78P2241, 78P2241B, and 78P7200L devices and an easy replacement for the 78P7200. The purpose of this application note is to describe how to replace the TDK devices with the DS3150 in existing designs. This application note should be read in conjunction with the DS3150 data sheet and the relevant TDK data sheet(s).

Replacing the 78P2241, 78P2241B, and 78P7200L with the DS3150

Although for new designs the DS3150 data sheet recommends somewhat different external components than those used with these TDK devices, the DS3150 can be dropped into existing 3.3V designs with no changes to the board artwork and no component changes, if the wiring recommendations in the TDK data sheets were followed. Since the DS3150 is a 3.3V-only device, it cannot replace the 78P2241 devices in 5V applications unless it is provided with a 3.3V supply. TDK's recommended wire-up for the 78P2241 devices configures the DS3150, as shown in Table 1. TDK's recommended wire-up for the 78P7200L configures the DS3150, as shown in Table 2.

Replacing the 78P7200 with the DS3150 in Existing Designs

To replace the 78P7200 in an existing design, the following changes are required. See Figure 1 for component locations.

1. Provide a 3.3V power supply to the DS3150 rather than the 78P7200's 5V supply.
2. Replace the CPD capacitor with a 0Ω resistor.
3. For E3 applications RTT should be 301Ω.
4. For best impedance matching, change RTR to 330Ω.

Figure 1. Line interface external components.

The CPD pin on the TDK 78P7200 is used to place a decoupling capacitor between the peak detector node and VCC. On the DS3150, the CPD pin function is not required and the pin is reassigned to be the loopback control input active-low LBKS. Replacing the CPD capacitor with a 0Ω resistor results in active-low LBKS being pulled up to VCC, disabling loopbacks in the DS3150. If the DS3150 is used in an existing 78P7200 design, TDK's recommended wire-up of the 78P7200 plus the required changes above configure the DS3150, as shown in Table 3.
