The XR-T5793 is an optimized line interface unit, built using low power CMOS technology. This device contains four independent E1 channels for primary rate, PCM applications up to 2.048Mbps. Each channel performs the driver and receiver functions necessary to convert bipolar signals to TTL/CMOS compatible logic levels and vice versa. The device supports single ended or balanced line interfaces on each channel, thereby providing the user an option of reducing system cost and board space by replacing the transformer with a capacitor.
