BACKPLANE TRANSCEIVER
(3 STATE + OPEN COLLECTOR)
The MC74F3893A is a quad backplane transceiver and is intended to be
used in very high speed bus systems.
The MC74F3893A interfaces to “Backplane Transceiver Logic” (BTL). BTL
features a reduced (1 V) voltage swing for lower power consumption and a series diode on the drivers to reduce capacitive loading (< 5 pF).
Incident wave switching is employed, therefore BTL propagation delays are
short. Although the voltage swing is much less for BTL, so is its receiver
threshold region, therefore noise margins are excellent.
BTL offers low power consumption, low ground bounce, reduced EMI and
crosstalk, low capacitive loading, superior noise margin and short propagation delays. This results in a high bandwidth, reliable backplane.
The MC74F3893A has four TTL outputs (Rn) on the receiver side with a
common Receive Enable input (RE
). It has four data inputs (Dn) which are also
TTL. These data inputs are NANDed with the Data Enable input (DE). The four
I/O pins (Bus side) are futurebus compatible, sink a minimum of 100 mA, and
are designed to drive heavily loaded backplanes with load impedances as low
as 10 ohms. All outputs are designed to be glitch-free during power up and
power down.
