description
The SN74GTLPH16945 is a medium-drive 16-bit
bus transceiver that provides LVTTL-to-GTL+ and
GTL+-to-LVTTL signal-level translation. It is
partitioned as two 8-bit transceivers and is identical to the ’16245 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 medium drive is suitable for driving double-terminated backplanes.
GTL+ is the Texas Instruments derivative of the Gunning transceiver logic (GTL) JEDEC standard JESD 8-3.
The AC specification of the SN74GTLPH16945 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 VREF = 0.8 V) or GTL+ (VTT = 1.5
V and VREF = 1 V) signal levels.
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. VREF is the reference input voltage for the B port.
This device is fully specified for live-insertion applications using Ioff, power-up 3-state, and BIAS VCC. The Ioff
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.
