DS2174QN

Telecom Overview

The DS2174QN is an enhanced Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single 3.3 V power supply with a typical current consumption of 50 mA. The device supports data rates up to 622 Mb/s and utilizes an 80 MHz clock frequency. It functions within a commercial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 44-lead PLCC package designed for surface mount installation. Maximum supply voltage is rated at 3.6 V, while the minimum operating voltage is 3 V.

Telecom Feature Summary

• Integrated bit error rate testing functionality for high-speed digital signal verification
• Supports data transmission rates up to 622 Mb/s for SONET/SDH applications
• Operates on a standard 3.3 V power supply rail

Telecom Applications

• SONET/SDH network equipment testing

• Telecommunications infrastructure maintenance

Telecom Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions account for humidity sensitivity as indicated in technical specifications. Validate package integrity upon receipt to prevent damage to the PLCC-44 leads.

Telecom Selection Notes

Select this component when enhanced BERT capabilities are required for 622 Mb/s signaling environments. Ensure the design accommodates the 44-pin PLCC footprint and 3.3 V logic levels. Verify thermal management meets the -40°C to +85°C operational range requirements. Consider pin compatibility if replacing legacy BERT solutions in existing telecommunications hardware designs.

Telecom Part Context

This component belongs to the DS2174 series of communication integrated circuits focused on bit error rate testing. It serves as a specialized tool for validating digital signal integrity in high-speed serial data links. The part is distinct from audio processing units like the DS2164 or battery management ICs within the same manufacturer portfolio.
