Transceiver for E1, J1, T1 line cards
The DS2155GNB is a single-chip transceiver from Analog Devices that handles, J1, and T1 framing with integrated HDLC controller — one part covers the three common PCM line rates, so a single BOM line can serve multi-protocol line cards.
BGA package and field-swap reality
The DS2155GNB comes in a 100-CSBGA (10x10) package — a 10 mm square BGA.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence watch
For the sourcing desk, that means no last-time-buy scramble; you can plan multi-year production without a forced redesign. RoHS non-compliant — verify your assembly house can handle the tin-lead finish if your process is RoHS-exempt (military, aerospace, some industrial).
Sourcing posture and RFQ
No official second-source or pin-compatible alternative listed — the DS2155GNB is the sole member of this specific order code.
