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 provides 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.
