PIN ASSIGNMENT
DESCRIPTION
The DS2188 T1/CEPT Jitter Attenuator Chip contains a 128 X 2-bit buffer which, in conjunction with an
external 4X crystal, is used to attenuate the incoming jitter present in clock and data. The device meets all
of the latest applicable specifications including those outlined in TR 62411 (Accunet* T1.5 Service
Description and Interface Specifications, December 1990), TR-TSY-000170 (Digital Cross-Connect
System Requirements and Objectives, November 1985), and the CCITT Recommendations G.735 and
G.742. The DS2188 is compatible with the DS2180A T1/ISDN Primary Rate Transceiver and DS2181A
CEPT Transceiver and is the companion to the DS2187 T1/CEPT Receive Line Interface and DS2186
T1/CEPT Transmit Line Interface. It can also be used in conjunction with the DS2190 T1 Network
Interface Unit.
OVERVIEW
The RCLK input is fed to a 128 x 2-bit FIFO where it drives the write pointer for the positive (RPOS) and
negative (RNEG) data. The read pointer of the FIFO and RRCLK is generated by dividing the frequency
of the crystal connected to XTAL1 and XTAL2 by four. The frequency of the crystal is adjusted by a
DPLL to the long-term average frequency of RCLK. As long as the jitter present at RCLK is less than
120 unit intervals peak-to-peak (UIpp), then the FIFO buffer will be able to absorb the incoming jitter and
it will be attenuated in accordance with TR 62411 (December 1990). In this situation, the BL (Buffer
Limit) pin will remain low. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the DS2188 Jitter Attenuator performance.

If the incoming jitter has excursions greater than 120 UIpp, then the crystal is adjusted to track the shortterm frequency variations of the incoming signal so that there is no loss of data. This adjustment is
accomplished by dividing the 4X crystal by either 3 ½ or 4 ½ instead of 4. When the incoming jitter is
greater than 120 UIpp, the BL pin will transition high. When the incoming jitter returns to less than 120
UIpp, the BL pin will return low.
The jitter attenuator in the DS2188 can be disabled by tying the DJA pin high. When the jitter attenuator
is disabled, the FIFO is bypassed and jitter received at RCLK, RPOS and RNEG is passed through the
DS2188 to RRCLK, RRPOS, and RRNEG. In this situation, the BL pin has no significance and XTAL
OUT will not be coherent with RRCLK.
How to use the DS2188 with Dallas Semiconductor’s other T1 and CEPT line interface parts is illustrated
in Figures 3 through 5. Figure 3 illustrates how to use the DS2188 in the receive path along with a
DS2187 Receive Line Interface. Figure 4 illustrates how to use the DS2188 in the transmit path with the
DS2186 Transmit Line Interface. Also, see DS2188 Application Note, “Operation at Speeds Greater than
E1” for additional information.
BUFFER DEPTH SELECT
The buffer size on the DS2188 can be configured to either 128 or 32 bits via the BDS pin. If BDS is tied
low, then the buffer depth will be 128 bits and hence can handle input jitter up to 120 UIpp without losing
its full attenuation capabilities as is described above in the Over-view. If BDS is tied high, then the
buffer depth is shortened to 32 bits. In this configuration, the DS2188 can handle input jitter up to 28
UIpp without losing its full jitter attenuation capabilities. The user may wish to limit the buffer size to 32
bits in applications where through-put delay is critical or into existing applications that al-ready have 32
bits of buffer space.
RESET
The buffer on the DS2188 is automatically centered on power-up. The user can recenter the 128-bit (or
32-bit) buffer on demand via the RST pin. The RST pin on the DS2188 is negative-edge triggered. When
this pin transitions from high-to-low, the buffer is recentered. The RST pin can be held either high or low
during operation of the DS2188; only a negative going signal will initiate a recentering. In most cases, a
reset of the DS2188 will corrupt data that is currently passing through the buffer.
