GTLP16T1655 16-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Universal Bus Transceiver
GTLP16T1655
16-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Universal Bus Transceiver
General Description
The GTLP16T1655 is a 16-bit universal bus transceiver
that provides LVTTL to GTLP signal level translation. It
allows for transparent, latched and clocked modes of data
transfer. The device provides a high speed interface
between cards operating at LVTTL logic levels and a ba ckplane operating at GTLP logic levels. High speed backplane operation is a direct re sult of GTLP’s reduced output
swing (<1V), reduced input threshold levels and output
edge rate control. The edge rate control minimizes bus settling time. GTLP is a Fair child Semico nductor der ivative of
the Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) JEDEC standard
JESD8-3.
Fairchild’s GTLP has intern al edge-r ate 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 i s 1.5V a nd
the receiver threshold is 1.0V.
Features
■ Bidirectional interface between GTLP and LVTTL logic
levels
■ Variable Edge Rate Control pin t o select desired edge
rate on the GTLP backplane (V
ERC
)
■ Partitioned as two 8-Bit transce iv ers wi th indivi du al latch
timing and output control but with a common clock.
■ Power up/down high impedance for live insertion.
■ External pin to pre-condition I/O capacitance to high
state
■ Bus-hold data inputs on the A-Port eliminates the need
for external pull-up resistors on unused inputs
■ LVTTL compatible driver and control inputs
■ Flow through pinout optimizes PCB layout
■ Open drain on GTLP to support wired-or connection
■ A Port source/sink −24 mA/+24 mA
■ B Port sink +100mA
■ D-type flip-flop, latch and transparent data paths
■ −40°C to 85°C Temperature capability
■ Available in TSSOP
