description
The ’GTL16612A devices are 18-bit universal bus transceivers (UBT) that provide LVTTL-to-GTL+ and
GTL+-to-L VTTL signal-level translation. They allow for transparent, latched, clocked, or clock-enabled modes
of data transfer. These devices provide a high-speed interface between cards operating at LVTTL logic levels
and backplanes operating at GTL+ signal levels. High-speed (about two times faster than standard L VTTL or
TTL) backplane operation is a direct result of the reduced output swing (<1 V), reduced input threshold levels,
and output edge control (OEC). Improved GTL+ OEC circuits minimize bus settling time and have been
designed and tested using several backplane models.

description (continued)
Figure 1 shows actual device output waveforms using a synchronous clock at 75 MHz. The test backplane is
a 16-slot, 14-inch board with loaded impedance of 33 Ω. VTT is 1.5 V , V
The driver is in slot 8, with receivers in alternate slots 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16. Receiver slot 1 signals are
shown. The signal becomes progressively worse as the receiver moves closer to the driver or the spacing
between receiver cards is reduced. The clock is independent of the data and the system clock frequency is
limited by the backplane flight time to about 80–90 MHz. This frequency can be increased even more (30% to
40%) if the clock is generated and transmitted together with the data off the driver card (source synchronous).

These 18-bit universal bus transceivers combine D-type latches and D-type flip-flops to allow data flow in
transparent, latched, clocked, and clock-enabled modes. These UBTs can replace any of the functions shown

GTL+ is the Texas Instruments (TI) derivative of the Gunning transceiver logic (GTL) JEDEC standard

Data flow in each direction is controlled by output-enable (OEAB and OEBA), latch-enable (LEAB and LEBA),
and clock (CLKAB and CLKBA) inputs. The clock or latch enable can be controlled by the clock-enable (CEAB
and CEBA) inputs. For A-to-B data flow, the devices operate in the transparent mode when LEAB is high. When
LEAB is low , the A data is latched if CEAB
is low and CLKAB is held at a high or low logic level. If LEAB is low,
the A data is stored in the latch/flip-flop on the low-to-high transition of CLKAB if CEAB also is low. When OEAB
is low, the outputs are active. When OEAB is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state. Data flow for
B to A is similar to that for A to B, but uses OEBA, LEBA, CLKBA, and CEBA.
T o ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup
resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.

description (continued)
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven L VTTL inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown
resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
These devices are fully specified for partial-power-down applications using I
. The I
off
circuitry disables the
off
outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down.
The SN54GTL16612A is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
The SN74GTL16612A is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
