description
The ’GTL16923 devices are 18-bit registered bus transceivers that provide LVTTL-to-GTL/GTL+ and
GTL/GTL+-to-LVTTL signal-level translation. They are partitioned as two 9-bit transceivers with individual
output-enable controls and contain D-type flip-flops for temporary storage of data flowing in either direction. The
devices provide an interface between cards operating at LVTTL logic levels and a backplane operating at
GTL/GTL+ signal levels. Higher-speed operation is a direct result of the reduced output swing (<1 V), reduced
input threshold levels, and output edge control (OEC™).
The user has the flexibility of using these devices at either GTL (VTT = 1.2 V and VREF = 0.8 V) or the preferred
higher noise margin GTL+ (VTT = 1.5 V and VREF = 1 V) signal levels. GTL+ is the Texas Instruments derivative
of the Gunning transceiver logic (GTL) JEDEC standard JESD 8-3. The B port normally operates at GTL or
GTL+ signal levels, while the A-port and control inputs are compatible with LVTTL logic levels. All inputs can
be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices which allows use in a mixed 3.3-V/5-V system environment. VREF
is the reference input voltage for the B port.
Data flow in each direction is controlled by the output-enable (OEAB and OEBA) and clock (CLKAB and CLKBA)
inputs. The clock-enable (CEAB and CEBA) inputs are used to enable or disable the clock for all 18 bits at a
time. However, OEAB and OEBA are designed to control each 9-bit transceiver independently, which makes
the device more versatile.
For A-to-B data flow, the device operates on the low-to-high transition of CLKAB if CEAB is low. When OEAB
is low, the outputs are active. When OEAB is high, the outputs are in the high-impedance state. Data flow for
B to A is similar to that of A to B but uses OEBA, CLKBA, and CEBA.
These devices are fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the
outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the devices when they are powered down.
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven LVTTL inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or pulldown
resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup
resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
The SN54GTL16923 is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.
The SN74GTL16923 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
