description
The SN74GTLPH1612 is a high-drive 18-bit
universal bus transceiver (UBT) that provides
LVTTL-to-GTL+ and GTL+-to-LVTTL signal-level
translation. It allows for transparent, latched,
clocked, or clock-enabled modes of data transfer
identical to the ’16601 function. The device
provides a high-speed interface between cards
operating at LVTTL logic levels and a backplane
operating at GTL+ signal levels. High-speed
(about two times faster than standard TTL or
LVTTL) backplane operation is a direct result of
GTLP’s reduced output swing (<1 V), reduced
input threshold levels, improved differential input,
and output edge control (OEC). Improved GTLP
OEC circuits minimize bus settling time and have
been designed and tested using several
backplane models. The high drive is suitable for
driving double-terminated low-impedance
backplanes using incident-wave switching.

SN74GTLPH1612
18-BIT LVTTL-TO-GTL+ ADJUSTABLE-EDGE-RATE
UNIVERSAL BUS TRANSCEIVER
SCES287 – OCTOBER 1999
description (continued)
GTL+ is the Texas Instruments derivative of the Gunning transceiver logic (GTL) JEDEC standard JESD 8-3.
The AC specification of the SN74GTLPH1612 is given only at the preferred higher noise margin GTL+, but the
user has the flexibility of using this device at either GTL (VTT = 1.2 V and V
and V
= 1 V) signal levels.
REF
Normally, the B port operates at GTL or GTL+ levels, while the A-port and control inputs are compatible with
LVTTL logic levels and are 5-V tolerant. V

, power-up 3-state, and BIAS VCC. The I
off
circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered
down. The power-up 3-state circuitry places the outputs in the high-impedance state during power up and power
down, which prevents driver conflict. The BIAS VCC circuitry precharges and preconditions the B-port
input/output connections, preventing disturbance of active data on the backplane during card insertion or
removal, and permits true live-insertion capability.
High-drive GTLP backplane interface devices feature adjustable edge-rate control (ERC). Changing the ERC
input voltage between GND and VCC adjusts the B-port output rise and fall times. This allows the designer to
optimize system data-transfer rate and signal integrity to the backplane load.
Active bus-hold circuitry is provided to hold 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.

off
When VCC is between 0 and 1.5 V , the device is in the high-impedance state during power up or power down.
However, to ensure the high-impedance state above 1.5 V, the output-enable (OE) input should be tied to V
through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of
the driver.
The SN74GTLPH1612 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
functional description
The SN74GTLPH1612 is a high-drive (100 mA) 36-bit UBT containing D-type latches and D-type flip-flops for
data-path operation in transparent, latched, clocked, or clock-enabled modes and can replace any of the
functions shown in Table 1.

functional description (continued)
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 can be controlled by clock-enable (CEAB and CEBA) inputs.
OEAB and OEBA control the 18 bits of data for the A-to-B and B-to-A directions, respectively.
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
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, buses OEBA, LEBA, CLKBA, and CEBA.
