GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The DS26303 is an 8-channel short-haul line 
interface unit (LIU) that supports E1/T1/J1 from a 
single 3.3V power supply. A wide variety of 
applications 
are 
supported 
termination or external termination. A single bill of 
material can support E1/T1/J1 with minimum external 
components. Redundancy is supported through 
nonintrusive monitoring, optimal high-impedance 
modes, and configurable 1:1 or 1+1 backup 
enhancements. An on-chip synthesizer generates the 
E1/T1/J1 clock rates by a single master clock input of 
various frequencies. Two clock output references are 
also offered.
