• Industrial temperature range available (–40°C to +85°C)
DESCRIPTION
The 74F776 is an octal bidirectional latched transceiver and is
intended to provide the electrical interface to a high performance
wired–OR bus. The B port inverting drivers are low–capacitance open
collector with controlled ramp and are designed to sink 100mA from 2
volts. The B port inverting receivers have a 100 mV threshold region
and a 4ns glitch filter.
The 74F776 B port interfaces to ’Backplane Transceiver Logic’ (BTL).
BTL features a reduced (1V to 2V) voltage swing for lower power
consumption and a series diode on the drivers to reduce capacitive
loading. Incident wave switching is employed, therefore BTL
propagation delays are short. Although the voltage swing is less for
BTL, so is its receiver threshold, therefore noise margins are excellent.
BTL offers low power consumption, low ground bounce, EMI and
crosstalk, low capacitive loading, superior noise margin and low
propagation delays. This results in a high bandwidth, reliable
backplane.
The 74F776 A port has TTL 3–state drivers and TTL receivers with a
latch function. A separate high–level control voltage input (V
X
) is
provided to limit the A side output level to a given voltage level (such
as 3.3V). For 5.0V systems, V
X
is simply tied to VCC.
The 74F776 has a designed feature to control the B output transitions
during power sequencing. There are two possible sequencing, They
are as follows:
1.When LE
= low and OEBn = low then the B outputs are disabled until
the LE
circuitry takes control. Then the B outputs will follow the A inputs,
making a maximum of one transition during power–up (or down).
2. If LE = high or OEBn = high then the B outputs will be disabled during
power–up (or down).
