DS2153, DS2154 Selectable 120 and 75Ω E1 Interface

When interfacing to the E1 line with Secondary Over Voltage protection or in a high return loss configuration, resistors are added between the DS2153 outputs and the transformer. Normally the resistors are of different values depending on whether the interface is driving a 75Ω coax or 120Ω twisted wire pair line. Also a change in the termination resistor is required. A single set of resistors can be utilized in both situations by using the circuit shown in Figure 1. The dotted lines indicate jumper positions for selecting 75Ω or 120Ω operation.
