GTLP17T616 17-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Bus Tra nsceiver with Buffered Clock
GTLP17T616
17-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Bus Transceiver with Buffered Clock
General Description
The GTLP17T616 is a 17-bit registered bus transceiver
that provides LVTTL to GTLP signal level translation. It
allows for transparent, latched and clocked modes of data
flow and provides a buffered GTLP (CLKOUT) clock output
from the LVTTL CLKAB. The device provides a high spe ed
interface between cards operating at LVTTL logic levels
and a backplane operating at GTLP logic levels. High
speed backplane operation is a direct result of GTLP’s
reduced o utput swing (<1V), reduced input threshold levels
and output edge rate con trol. The edge rate cont rol minimizes bus settling time. GTLP is a Fairchild Semiconductor
derivative of the G unning Transistor logic (GTL) JEDEC
standard JESD8-3.
Fairchild's GTLP has inte rnal ed ge-ra te cont rol and is Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) compensated. Its
function is similar to BTL or GTL but with different output
levels and receiver thresholds. GTLP outpu t 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 LVTTL logic
levels
■ Edge Rate Control to minimize noise on the GTLP port
■ Power up/down high impedance for live insertion
■ External V
REF
pin for receiver threshold adjustability
■ BiCMOS technology for low power dissipation
■ Bushold data input s on A Port eliminates the need for
external pull-up resistors for unused inputs
■ LVTTL compatible Driver and Control inputs
■ Flow-through architecture optimizes PCB layout
■ Open drain on GTLP to support wired-or connection
■ A Port source/sink −24 mA/+24 mA
■ B Port sink capability +50 mA
■ D-type flip-flop, latch and transparent data paths
■ GTLP Buffered CLKAB signal available (CLKOUT)
■ −40°C to +85°C Temperature operation
