XRT83SH38IB

Overview

The XRT83SH38IB is a telecom interface integrated circuit manufactured by MaxLinear. It functions as an eight-channel short-haul T1/E1 Line Interface Unit (LIU). The device supports both T1 and E1 line standards, providing the necessary physical layer connectivity for digital telecommunication networks. It is housed in a BGA-225 package designed for surface mount technology (SMD/SMT) installation. The component exhibits moisture sensitivity, requiring appropriate handling during assembly processes.

Feature Summary

• Integrates eight independent short-haul line interface channels within a single package
• Supports dual standard operation for both T1 and E1 telecommunications protocols
• Designed for surface mount integration into high-density printed circuit boards

Applications

• T1/E1 network termination equipment
• Digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAM)
• Telecommunications line cards and chassis systems

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the component may be subject to discontinuation or limited supply constraints. Confirm that the BGA-225 package profile matches the target PCB footprint and soldering reflow profiles. Ensure moisture sensitivity management procedures are strictly followed during storage and assembly to prevent damage. Validate that the specific IB suffix variant meets all electrical requirements for the intended design implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple short-haul T1 or E1 interfaces in a compact form factor. The BGA-225 package offers high pin density suitable for complex telecom applications. Consider the moisture sensitivity rating when planning the manufacturing timeline and storage conditions. Ensure the design accommodates the thermal and power requirements associated with eight active line interface channels operating simultaneously.

Part Context

This part belongs to the XRT83 series of telecom interface ICs from MaxLinear. It is specifically categorized under Line Interface Units (LIUs) rather than clock synthesizers or framer/LIU combinations found in other model variants like the XRT83SL38IB-F. The SH designation indicates short-haul capability, distinguishing it from long-haul versions within the same product family.
