Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated DS2188S

Incoming bipolar receive data enters RPOS and RNEG with RCLK. The DS2188S writes these signals into an elastic buffer and produces dejittered RRPOS, RRNEG and RRCLK outputs. An external crystal provides the reference for the internal timing loop. This function suits maintenance of timing quality in legacy T1 and CEPT equipment, but it is not a complete line transceiver.

• Attenuates received clock and data jitter in a single IC.
• Supports 1.544 MHz T1 and 2.048 MHz CEPT clock environments.
• Offers 128-bit or 32-bit buffer-depth selection to balance jitter tolerance and delay.
• Provides a bypass control for diagnostics or system-level timing selection.
• Exposes buffer-limit indication for excessive input jitter conditions.

The buffer is 128 x 2 bits in its standard configuration. BDS selects the shorter 32-bit mode. A 6.176 MHz crystal is specified for T1 and an 8.192 MHz crystal for CEPT. The loop averages incoming timing while reducing jitter; DJA high bypasses attenuation. A negative transition on RST recenters the buffer and can disturb data in transit. BL indicates operation near a buffer limit.

The manufacturer's DS2188S mechanical drawing describes a 16-pin SOIC body about 7.37 to 7.65 mm wide with 1.27 mm lead pitch. The catalog calls this a 16-SOIC, 0.295-inch-wide package. The existing package registry's plain 16-SOIC entry instead describes a 0.154-inch-wide body, so it is not a verified footprint match. The registered wide-body options describe exposed-pad, PowerSOIC, BSSOP or module variants and must not be substituted. A dedicated wide-body SOIC package entry and verified JPG are required.

Layout checks

• Use the manufacturer drawing for body, lead and land-pattern dimensions.
• Confirm pin-one orientation and board clearance.
• Place crystal and supply bypass components close to the specified pins.

The expected dedicated wide-body package JPG is absent; this draft is not publishable.

Input group: RPOS pin 2, RNEG pin 3 and RCLK pin 4. Output group: RRCLK pin 13, RRNEG pin 14 and RRPOS pin 15. Control: DJA pin 1, BDS pin 5, TEST pin 6, BL pin 11 and RST pin 12. Crystal connections are XTAL1 pin 9 and XTAL2 pin 10, with XTAL OUT pin 7. VSS is pin 8 and VDD is pin 16. Tie TEST low for normal operation as the data sheet instructs.

Use the complete manufacturer electrical-characteristics tables for limits, loading and timing.

No database-verified drop-in alternative is linked here. A candidate must match T1/CEPT timing, data polarity, crystal arrangement, buffer-depth behavior, controls, temperature grade and the wide-body SOIC footprint. The related DS2188SN uses an industrial temperature grade, but interchangeability must be confirmed against the board and exact sourcing code.

Dallas Semiconductor authored the DS2188 data sheet; Analog Devices now hosts the document and lists the product as obsolete. The data sheet's ordering table explicitly names DS2188S as 16-pin SOIC for 0 to +70 degrees C. Use the current manufacturer-hosted revision and original equipment documentation for engineering decisions.

• Legacy T1 and CEPT receive timing paths.
• Digital cross-connect and network-interface equipment that requires receive jitter attenuation.
• Systems using the Dallas DS2186 transmit or DS2187 receive line-interface families.
• Repair of existing telecommunication boards with a verified DS2188S footprint.

Because the part is obsolete, confirm manufacturer markings, lot traceability, storage condition, lead finish, package dimensions and test evidence before procurement. Public market listings do not establish current authorized stock or quantity-break prices. The catalog's existing inventory and price remain unverified and should not be treated as a current distributor quotation.

Confirm clock frequency, crystal loading, input/output polarity, bypass state, buffer delay, reset behavior and board footprint before deployment. The missing wide-body package JPG, unverified package registration and unavailable live exact-code distributor stock and price ladder prohibit publication.
