Texas Instruments GTLP Frequently Asked Questions 7–121
43 If the file is encrypted, why do we need the one-time patch from
Avant!?
Level 37 is a model TI created to work under HSPICE. Avant! licenses Level 37 to TI and
requires TI to provide authorization to distribute the Level-37 model. This method gives TI
and Avant! legal protection. The Level-37 patch is required, regardless of whether or not the
model is encrypted.
The license process requires that:
• TI customer must have their own copy of Avant! HSPICE.
• TI requests that the Level-37 license be sent to the TI customer.
• The license is good for 1 year and is renewable.
44 How do I request preproduction samples?
There is no charge for preproduction samples. We generally try to limit the number to five or
fewer, but you can request more if required for your application. Please contact your Texas
Instruments Technical Sales Representative, the GTLP Team directly at [e-mail], or
use the GTLP sample request form on the GTLP home page.
45 How do I request production samples?
Request production samples through the Extranet and your TI&Me account.

46 I requested the SN74GTLP1394, but the topside marking is GP394.
The 16-pin packages are too small to accommodate the full device name, so SN74GTLP1394
is shortened as shown in Figure 18 (not to scale or with correct pin count). Lot codes also are
marked on the D and PW packages (Y = year, M = month, LLLL = lot code, S = assembly
site). Only the year and month are marked on the DGV packages due to space constraints.
