Product Overview

The MT9172AP DNIC was originally designed by Mitel, later produced under Zarlink Semiconductor and now owned by Microchip. Built on low-power CMOS technology, this single-chip transceiver delivers full-duplex digital transmission over one twisted copper pair. It supports Echo Cancellation and TCM multiplexing, and natively processes standard 2B+D ISDN channels. Housed in a 28-pin PLCC package with integrated adaptive line equalizer and sync circuits, it serves digital phones, PABX systems, enterprise communication hardware and industrial telemetry equipment with low signal distortion.

Core Advantages

Full-Duplex Digital Wire Transmission

Supports stable bidirectional high-speed digital voice and data transmission over common single twisted-pair copper cables, eliminating complex multi-wire wiring schemes.

Integrated On-Chip Equalization Architecture

Built-in adaptive line equalizer automatically compensates high-frequency attenuation, phase distortion and signal loss caused by long-distance cable transmission.

Flexible Multi-Channel Formatting

Supports standard 2B+D channel framing, realizing stable synchronization and complete data transmission reliability between peripheral data interfaces and telecom bus.

Low Power Dissipation Profile

Adopts optimized CMOS manufacturing process to keep static and dynamic power consumption at low levels, avoiding heat accumulation inside compact multi-line switch cabinets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is your currently available stock of the MT9172AP transceiver chip 100% genuine and original?

A: Yes, we guarantee that all MT9172AP units in our inventory are 100% brand-new, factory-original products. Early stock silkscreen marked Mitel, later versions marked Zarlink. Every batch passes strict warehouse QC inspection and is packed in anti-static PLCC tubes or trays to protect chip pins from deformation.

Q2: What is the primary function of the ST-BUS interface on the MT9172AP?

A: The ST-BUS (Serial Telecom Bus) is a synchronous TDM serial interface running at 2.048 Mbps. On MT9172AP, it serves as the main data bus, connecting voice/data channels to digital switches, audio codecs or main control MCU without extra complex peripheral logic.

Q3: How far can the MT9172AP transmit digital data over a standard twisted-pair copper cable network?

A: The actual transmission distance depends on wire gauge, cable quality, electromagnetic interference and working mode (Echo Cancellation). Thanks to built-in high-gain adaptive equalizer, this chip supports up to 4km stable communication under standard telecom loop environments.

Q4: How can our physical engineering group get formal component engineering drawings or request bulk wholesale pricing tiers?

A: Please fill out the Quick Inquiry form on this page with your target purchase quantity. Our technical sales team will send complete technical documents and tiered bulk price within 24 hours.
