17 These function numbers are different. How do they compare to normal
logic functions?
When the GTL family was introduced, it was decided to differentiate GTL function numbers
from other similar logic functions because of the V
ref
pin and the reduced B-port GTL signal
levels. The first GTL device (SN74GTL16612) has exactly the same pinout as the 3.3-V V
CC
‘16601 universal bus transceiver, except that the two V
CC
pins on the B-port side serve
different purposes. Pin 34 is used for the GTL differential V
ref
input and pin 50 is used for the
5-V V
CC
that powers the GTL circuitry. The first GTLP device is the SN74GTLPH16612, which
is identical to the SN74GTL16612, except for the improved B-port circuitry that allows better
performance in distributed loads. Based on the SN74GTLPH16612, other existing GTL
devices, and TI's device-naming convention, the names of the additional GTLP devices were
selected as shown in the migration summary below.
