Abstract: Application Note 325 is a Crystal Selection Guide for these Dallas Single Chip Transceivers: DS2151, DS2152, DS2153, DS2154, DS21552, DS21554, DS21352, DS21354 and DS2155.
Specifications for selecting the appropriate crystal in a T1 or E1 application are given in the following order.

The DS2152, DS2154, DS21x5y, and DS2155 do not require a crystal for most applications. Typically, a clock
derived from the system or supplied by an oscillator drives MCLK. If it is not a 1x clock, then appropriate divider
can be used to drive the MCLK. For the DS2155, a 16.384MHz, 8.192MHz, 4.096MHz, 2.048MHz, or 1.544MHz
clock must be applied at MCLK. ITU specification G.703 requires an accuracy of ±50ppm for both T1 and E1.
TR62411 and ANSI specifications require an accuracy of ±32ppm for T1 interfaces. A prescaler divides the 16MHz,
8MHz, or 4MHz clock down to 2.048MHz. There is an on-board PLL for the jitter attenuator, which converts the
2.048MHz clock to a 1.544MHz rate for T1 applications. In an application that derives all timing from the network
(loop timed), a crystal can be connected to MCLK and XTALD as shown in Figure 1. There is no pullability
requirement for this crystal.

The DS2151 and DS2153 require a crystal that can be pulled off its center frequency. Table 5 lists manufacturers.
The part numbers given are for leaded packages. Surface-mount devices typically do not meet the pullability
specification. Some of the following manufacturers may offer surface-mountable packages in which the leads have
been preformed (gull-winged) with a clip added to provide a third contact point.
