GTLP6C816A
GTLP/LVTTL 1:6 Clock Driver
General Description
The GTLP6C816A is a clock driver that provides LVTTL to
GTLP signal level translation (and vice versa). The device
provides a high speed interface between cards operating at
LVTTL logic levels and a backplane operating at GTL(P)
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 GTL(P) has internal edge-rate control and is
process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) compensated. Its
function is similar to BTL and GTL but with different output
levels and receiver threshold. GTLP output LOW level is
typically less than 0.5V, the output level HIGH is 1.5V and
the receiver threshold is 1.0V.
