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 a-
tion. 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 resh-
old levels and output edge rate co ntr ol. Th e ed ge ra te co n-
trol 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 pro-
cess, 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
