GTLP16617
17-Bit TTL/GTLP Synchronous Bus Transceiver

with Buffered Clock

General Description

The GTLP16617 is a 17-bit registered synchronous b us
transceiver that provi des TTL t o GTLP signal l evel tr ansl a­tion. It allows for trans parent, latched and cloc ked modes
of data flow and provides a buffered GTLP (CLKOUT)
clock output from th e TTL CLKAB. Th e device prov ides a
high speed interf ace be tween cards o pe rating at TT L l ogic
levels and a backplane operating at GTLP logic levels.
High speed backplane operation is a direct result of
GTLP’s reduced output swi ng (<1 V), re duced input th resh­old levels and output edge rate co ntr ol. Th e ed ge ra te co n­trol minimizes bus settling time. GTLP is a Fairchild
Semiconductor derivati ve of the Gunning Transceiver logic
(GTL) JEDEC standard JESD8-3.

Fairchild’s GTLP has intern al edge -rate cont rol and is pro­cess, voltage, and temperature (PVT) compensated. Its
function is similar to BTL and GT L but with different outp ut
levels and receiver threshold. GTLP output LOW level is
typically less than 0. 5V, the output level HIGH is 1.5V and
the receiver threshold is 1.0V.

Features

■ Bidirectional interface between GTLP and TTL logic
levels

■ Edge Rate Control to minimize noise on the GTLP port

■ Power up/down/off high impedance for live insertion.

■ External V

REF

pin for receiver threshold

■ CMOS technology for low power dissipation

■ 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs on the A-Port

■ Bus-hold data inputs on the A-Port eliminates the need

for external pull-up resistors on unused inputs.

■ TTL compatible driver and control inputs

■ Flow through pinout optimizes PCB layout

■ Open drain on GTLP to support wired-or connection

■ A-Port source/sink −32 mA/+32 mA

■ D-type flip-flop, latch and transparent data paths

■ GTLP Buffered CLKA B signal avai lable(CLKOUT)

■ Recommended Operating Temperature −40°C to 85°C

Functional Description

The GTLP16617 is a 17 bit re giste red transce iver co ntaining D-typ e flip-fl op, latch an d transp arent m odes of op eration for
the data path and a GTLP translation of the CLKAB signal (CLKOUT). Data flow in each direction is controlled by the clock
enables (CEAB

and CEBA), latch enables (LEAB and LEBA), clock (CLKAB and CLKBA) and output enables (OEAB and

OEBA

). The clock enables ( CE AB an d CEBA) en able all 17 da ta bits. Th e output en ables (OE AB an d O E BA) control both

the 17 bits of data and the CLKOUT/CLKIN buffered clock paths and the OEAB

is synchronous with the CLKAB signal. The

OEBA

can not be synchronous since we are passing the clock through the device with data and we would need to generate

the CLKBA signal elsew here. It shoul d also be not ed that the OEA B

register is controlled by CLKAB only, and is also not

inhibited by the CEAB

signal.

For A-to-B data flow, when CEAB

is LOW, the device operates o n the LOW-to-HIGH transition of C LKAB for the flip-flop

and on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of LEAB for the latch path. That is, if CEAB

is LOW and LEAB is LOW the A data is
latched regardless as to the state of CLKAB (HIGH or LOW) and if LEAB is HIGH the device is in transparent mode. When
OEAB

is registered LOW the output s are active. Wh en OEAB is r egistered H IGH the outpu ts are HIGH i mpedance. The

data flow of B-to-A is similar except that CEBA

, OEBA, LEBA and CLKBA are used.

Truth Table

(Note 1)

Note 1: A-to-B data flo w is sh ow n. B-to-A data flow is similar but uses OEBA, LEBA, CLKBA, CEBA.
Note 2: LH edge on C LKAB is required when c hanging the input on OEAB

pin.

Note 3: OEAB

met set-up time prior to CLKAB LH transition

Note 4: Output level before the indicated s t eady state input condit ions were established , provided CLKAB was H IG H prior to LEAB going LOW.
Note 5: Output level before the indicated s t eady state input condit ions were established .
