DESCRIPTION
The FB2033 is an 8-bit transceiver featuring a split input (AI) and
output (AO) bus on the TTL-level side.
The common I/O, open collector B port operates at BTL signal
levels. The logic element for data flow in each direction is controlled
by two pairs of mode select inputs (SBA0 and SBA1 for B-to-A,
SAB0 and SAB1 for A-to-B). It can be configured as a buffer, a
register, or a D-type latch.
When configured in the buffer mode, the inverse of the input data
appears at the output port. In the flip-flop mode, data is stored on
the rising edge of the appropriate clock input (LCAB or LCBA). In the
latch mode, clock pins serve as transparent-High latch enables.
Regardless of the mode, data is inverted from input to output.
Data flow in the B-to-A direction, regardless of the logic element
selected, is further controlled by the Loopback input. When the
Loopback input is High the output of the selected A-to-B logic
element (not inverted) becomes the B-to-A input.
The 3-State AO port is enabled by asserting a High level on OEA.
The B port has two output enables, OEB0 and OEB1
. Only when
OEB0 is High and OEB1
is Low is the output enabled. When either
OEB0 is Low or OEB1
is High, the B-port is inactive and is pulled to
the level of the pull-up voltage. New data can be entered in the
flip-flop and latched modes or can be retained while the associated
outputs are in 3-State (AO port) or inactive (B port).
The B-port drivers are Low-capacitance open collectors with
controlled ramp and are designed to sink 100mA. Precision band
gap references on the B-port ensure very good noise margins by
limiting the switching threshold to a narrow region centered at 1.55V .
The B-port interfaces to “Backplane Transceiver Logic” (see the
IEEE 1194.1 BTL standard). BTL features low power consumption
by reducing voltage swing (1V p-p, between 1V and 2V) and
reduced capacitive loading by placing an internal series diode on the
drivers. BTL also provides incident wave switching, a necessity for
high performance backplanes.
Output clamps are provided on the BTL outputs to further reduce
switching noise. The “V
OH
” clamp reduces inductive ringing effects
during a Low-to-High transition. The “V
OH
” clamp is always active.
The other clamp, the “trapped reflection” clamp, clamps out ringing
below the BTL 0.5V V
OL
level. This clamp remains active for
approximately 100ns after a High-to-Low transition.
To support live insertion, OEB0 is held Low during power on/off
cycles to ensure glitch- free B port drivers. Proper bias for B port
drivers during live insertion is provided by the BIAS V pin when at a
5V level while V
CC
is Low. The BIAS V pin is a low current input
which will reverse-bias the BTL driver series Schottky diode, and
also bias the B port output pins to a voltage between 1.62V and
2.1V. This bias function is in accordance with IEEE BTL Standard
1194.1. If live insertion is not a requirement, the BIAS V pin should
be tied to a V
CC
pin.
The LOGIC GND and BUS GND pins are isolated inside the
package to minimize noise coupling between the BTL and TTL
sides. These pins should be tied to a common ground external to the
package.
Each BTL driver has an associated BUS GND pin that acts as a
signal return path and these BUS GND pins are internally isolated
from each other. In the event of a ground return fault, a “hard” signal
failure occurs instead of a pattern dependent error that may be very
infrequent and impossible to trouble- shoot.
As with any high power device thermal considerations are critical. It
is recommended that airflow (300Ifpm) and/or thermal mounting be
used to ensure proper junction temperature.
