description (continued)
GTLP is the Texas Instruments derivative of the Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) JEDEC standard JESD 8-3.
The ac specification of the SN74GTLPH1627 is given only at the preferred higher noise-margin GTLP, but the
user has the flexibility of using this device at either GTL (V
TT
= 1.2 V and V
REF
= 0.8 V) or GTLP (V
TT
= 1.5 V
and V
REF
= 1 V) signal levels. For information on using GTLP devices in FB+/BTL applications, refer to TI
application reports, Texas Instruments GTLP Frequently Asked Questions,
literature number SCEA019, and
GTLP in BTL Applications, literature number SCEA017.
Normally, the B port operates at GTLP signal levels. The A-port and control inputs operate at LVTTL logic levels,
but are 5-V tolerant and are compatible with TTL and 5-V CMOS inputs. V
REF
is the B-port differential input
reference voltage.
This device is fully specified for live-insertion applications using I
off
, power-up 3-state, and BIAS V
CC
. The I
off
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 V
CC
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.
This GTLP device features TI-OPC circuitry, which actively limits the overshoot caused by improperly
terminated backplanes, unevenly distributed cards, or empty slots during low-to-high signal transitions. This
improves signal integrity, which allows adequate noise margin to be maintained at higher frequencies.
High-drive GTLP backplane interface devices feature adjustable edge-rate control (ERC). Changing the ERC
input voltage between low and high adjusts the B-port output rise and fall times. This allows the designer to
optimize system data-transfer rate and signal integrity to the backplane load.
Active bus-hold circuitry holds unused or undriven LVTTL data inputs at a valid logic state. Use of pullup or
pulldown resistors with the bus-hold circuitry is not recommended.
When V
CC
is between 0 and 1.5 V, the device is in the high-impedance state during power up or power down.
However, to ensure the high-impedance state above 1.5 V, the output-enable (OE
) input should be tied to V
CC
through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of
the driver.
