GTLP8T306 8-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Bus Transceiver
GTLP8T306
8-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Bus Transceiver
General Description
The GTLP8T306 is an 8-b it bus transceiver that p rovides
LVTTL to GTLP signal level translation. T he device provides a high speed i nterface between cards opera ting at
LVTTL logic levels and a backplane operating at GTLP
logic levels. High speed backplane operation is a direct
result of GTLP’s reduced output swing (<1V), reduced input
threshold levels and output edge rate control. The ed ge
rate control 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 in ternal ou tput e dge-rate control a nd
is process, voltage, and temperatur e (PVT) com pensated.
Its function is similar to BTL and GTL but with different output levels and receiver th reshold s. The GTLP ou tput LOW
level is typically less than 0 .5V, the output HIGH level is
1.5V and the receiver threshold is 1.0V.
Features
■ Bidirectional interface between GTL/GTLP and LVTTL
logic levels
■ Output Edge Rate Control to minimize noise on the
GTLP port
■ Power up/down/off high impedance for live insertion
■ Standard 245 function
■ CMOS technology for low power dissipation
■ 5V 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
■ 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 50 mA
■ Recommended Operating Temperature −40°C to +85°C
