GTLP16612MEAX

General Description

The GTLP16612 is an 18-bit universal bus transceiver which provides TTL to GTLP signal level translation. The device is designed to provide a high speed interface between cards operating at TTL logic levels and a backplane operating at GTLP logic levels. High speed backplane operation is a direct result of GTLP’s reduced output swing (<1V), reduced input threshold levels and output edge rate control which minimizes signal settling times.

Features
■ Bidirectional interface between GTLP and TTL logic
levels
■ Designed with Edge Rate Control Circuit to reduce
output noise
■ VREF pin provides external supply reference voltage for
receiver threshold
■ Submicron Core CMOS technology for low power
dissipation
■ Special PVT Compensation circuitry to provide consistent
performance over variations of process, supply
voltage and temperature
■ 5V tolerant inputs and outputs on A-Port
■ Bus-Hold data inputs on A-Port to eliminate the need for
external pull-up resistors for unused inputs
■ Power up/down high impedance
■ TTL compatible Driver and Control inputs
■ A-Port outputs source/sink −32 mA/+32 mA
■ Flow-through architecture optimizes PCB layout
■ Open drain on GTLP to support wired-or connection
