ML65F16244*
16-Bit Buffer/Line Driver with 3-State Outputs
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML65F16244 is a BiCMOS, 16-bit buffer/line driver
with 3-state outputs. This device was specifically designed
for high speed bus applications. Its 16 channels support
propagation delay of 2ns maximum, and fast output
enable and disable times of 5ns or less to minimize
datapath delay.
This device is designed to minimize undershoot,
overshoot, and ground bounce to decrease noise delays.
These transceivers implement a unique digital and analog
implementation to eliminate the delays and noise
inherent in traditional digital designs. The device offers a
new method for quickly charging up a bus load capacitor
to minimize bus settling times, or FastBus™ Charge.
FastBus Charge is a transition current, (specified as
I
DYNAMIC
on output load) of current during the rise time and fall
time. This current is used to reduce the amount of time it
takes to charge up a heavily-capacitive loaded bus,
effectively reducing the bus settling times, and
improving data/clock margins in tight timing budgets.
Micro Linear’s solution is intended for applications for
critical bus timing designs that include minimizing
device propagation delay, bus settling time, and time
delays due to noise. Applications include; high speed
memory arrays, bus or backplane isolation, bus to bus
bridging, and sub-2ns propagation delay schemes.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
ML65F16244
The ML65F16244 is a 16-bit buffer/line driver with 3-state
outputs designed for 2.7V to 3.6V VCC operation. This
device is designed for Quad-Nibble, Dual-Byte or single
16-bit word memory interleaving operations. Each bank
has an independently controlled 3-state output enable pin
with output enable/disable access times of less than 5ns.
Each bank is configured to have four independent buffer/
line drivers.
Until now, these buffer/line drivers were typically
implemented in CMOS logic and made to be TTL
compatible by sizing the input devices appropriately. In
order to buffer large capacitances with CMOS logic, it is
necessary to cascade an even number of inverters, each
successive inverter larger than the preceding, eventually
leading to an inverter that will drive the required load
capacitance at the required frequency. Each inverter
stage represents an additional delay in the gating process
because in order for a single gate to switch, the input
must slew more than half of the supply voltage. The best
of these 16-bit CMOS buffers has managed to drive 50pF
load capacitance with a delay of 3ns.
Micro Linear has produced a 16-bit buffer/line driver with
a delay less than 2ns (at 3.3V) by using a unique circuit
architecture that does not require cascade logic gates.
One path sources current to the load capacitance where
the signal is asserted, and the other path sinks current
from the output when the signal is negated.
The assertion path is the Darlington pair consisting of
transistors Q1 and Q2. The effect of transistor Q1 is to
increase the current gain through the stage from input to
output, to increase the input resistance and to reduce
input capacitance. During an input low-to-high transition,
the output transistor Q2 sources large amount of current to
quickly charge up a highly capacitive load which in
effect reduces the bus settling time. This current is
specified as I
DYNAMIC
.
The negation path is also the Darlington pair consisting of
transistor Q3 and transistor Q4. With M1 connecting to
the input of the Darlington pair, Transistor Q4 then sinks a
large amount of current during the input transition from
high-to-low.
Inverter X2 is a helpful buffer that not only drives the
output toward the upper rail but also pulls the output to
the lower rail.
There are a number of MOSFETs not shown in Figure 6.
These MOSFETs are used to 3-state the buffers.
The basic architecture of the ML65F16244 is shown in
Figure 6. In this circuit, there are two paths to the output.
