GTLP8T306
8-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Bus Transceiver
General Description
The GTLP8T306 is an 8-bit bus transceiver that provides
LVTTL to GTLP signal level translation. The device pro-
vides a high speed interface between cards operating at
LVTTL 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. The edge
rate control minimizes bus settling time. GTLP is a Fairchild
Semiconductor derivative of the Gunning Transceiver logic
(GTL) JEDEC standard JESD8-3.
Fairchild’s GTLP has internal output edge-rate control and
is process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) compensated.
Its function is similar to BTL and GTL but with different out-
put levels and receiver thresholds. The GTLP output LOW
level is typically less than 0.5V, the output HIGH level is
1.5V and the receiver threshold is 1.0V.
