ZL50010GDG2

Overview

The ZL50010GDG2 is a telecommunications integrated circuit switch manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features a 512-channel by 512-channel non-blocking switching architecture designed for operation at data rates of 2.048 Mb/s, 4.096 Mb/s, or 8.192 Mb/s. The device supports rate conversion between ST-BUS inputs and outputs, allowing per-stream input and output data rate selection where the output rate may differ from the input. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 3V to 3.6V with a maximum supply current of 250mA. The component is housed in a 144-LBGA package measuring 13x13 mm and is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides a 512 x 512 channel non-blocking digital switching matrix for telecommunication applications
• Supports flexible rate conversion between ST-BUS inputs and outputs with independent data rate selection
• Enables per-stream configuration of input and output data rates at 2.048, 4.096, or 8.192 Mb/s

Applications

• Telecommunications network infrastructure switching
• ST-BUS interface signal routing
• Digital cross-connect systems requiring high-density channel interconnection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GDG2 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the package type, temperature grade, and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the system's power supply constraints and thermal management requirements for the LBGA package. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm authenticity and traceability documentation availability prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, non-blocking digital switch is required for telecommunication signals operating within the E1/T1/J1 bandwidth spectrum. It is suitable for designs necessitating independent rate conversion capabilities between input and output streams. Consider the 144-LBGA package size and surface-mount installation requirements during PCB layout planning. Verify that the system environment falls within the specified commercial/industrial temperature range.

Part Context

The ZL50010 belongs to the ZL5001x family of flexible digital switches from Microchip Technology. This series is engineered for telecom applications requiring scalable channel interconnection. The ZL50010 specifically offers a 512x512 switching fabric, distinguishing it from other variants in the family that may offer different channel counts or feature sets. It serves as a core component for building robust digital switching matrices in communication equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Microchip's official documentation for direct pin-to-pin compatible alternatives within the ZL5001x series. Verify functional equivalence regarding channel count and supported data rates before substituting. Generic telecommunication switches are not recommended without thorough electrical and timing parameter validation.
