Converting the DS2151/DS2153 Demo Kits

Abstract

The DS2151DK and DS2153DK are ordered and shipped for either T1 or E1 operation. However, the kits are easily converted to operate on the other mode. This application note describes how to convert the demo kits to either T1 or E1 operation.

The DS2151DK & DS2153DK are ordered and shipped for either T1 or E1 operation. However, the kits are easily converted to the other mode.

To convert from DS2151DK to DS2153DK: T1→

  1. Place DS2153 in location marked U1.
  2. Place 2.048 MHz oscillator in location marked X3.
  3. Place 8.192 MHz crystal in location marked X1.
  4. Remove and replace Rr.
  5. Place Rt as required, see note 3 below.

To convert from DS2153DK to DS2151DK: E1→

  1. Place DS2151 in location marked U1.
  2. Place 1.544 MHz oscillator in location marked X3.
  3. Place 6.176 MHz crystal in location marked X1.
  4. Remove and replace Rr.
  5. Place Rt as required, note 3 below.

The table below details the required components.

Component Description T1 E1
U2 SCT DS2152 DS2154

  1. The DS2151DK and DS2153DK are both shipped with a 1:1.15 transformer (PE-65388) in the transmit path. Some of the configurations in the data sheets specify a 1:1.36 transformer, PE-64937 is a 1:1.36 transformer available from Pulse Engineering.

  1. The DS2151DK and DS2153DK are both shipped with Rt = 0Ω, R5 & R6 are shorted in the PCB. Some of the configurations in the data sheets specify non zero resistors for Rt. In order to place resistors, Rt ≠ 0, the traces must be cut. Carefully cut the traces connecting the through holes for R5 & R6 with an X-acto knife, and solder the resistors in place.
