The SN74GTLPH1645 is a high-drive, 16-bit bus transceiver that provides LVTTL-to-GTLP and GTLP-to-LVTTL
signal-level translation. It is partitioned as two 8-bit transceivers. The device provides a high-speed interface
between cards operating at LVTTL logic levels and a backplane operating at GTLP signal levels. High-speed
(about three times faster than standard LVTTL or TTL) backplane operation is a direct result of GTLP's reduced
output swing (<1 V), reduced input threshold levels, improved differential input, OEC鈩?circuitry, and TI-OPC鈩?/div>
circuitry. Improved GTLP OEC and TI-OPC circuits minimize bus-settling time and have been designed and
tested using several backplane models. The high drive allows incident-wave switching in heavily loaded
backplanes with equivalent load impedance down to 11
鈩?
GTLP is the Texas Instruments derivative of the Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) JEDEC standard JESD 8-3.
The ac specification of the SN74GTLPH1645 is given only at the preferred higher noise-margin GTLP, but the
user has the flexibility of using this device at either GTL (V
TT
= 1.2 V and V
REF
= 0.8 V) or GTLP (V
TT
= 1.5 V and
V
REF
= 1 V) signal levels.
Normally, the B port operates at GTLP signal levels. The A-port and control inputs operate at LVTTL logic levels,
but are 5-V tolerant and are compatible with TTL and 5-V CMOS inputs. V
REF
is the B-port differential input
reference voltage.
