GTLP18T612 18-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Universal Bus Transceiver
May 1999
Revised July 2002
GTLP18T612
18-Bit LVTTL/GTLP Universal Bus Transceiver
General Description
The GTLP18T612 is an 18-bit universal bus transceiver
which provides LVTTL to GTLP signal level translation. It
allows for transparent, latched and clocked modes of data
transfer. The device provides a high speed interface for
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 Gun-
ning Transistor logic (GTL) JEDEC standard JESD8-3.
Fairchild’s GTLP has internal edge-rate control and is Pro-
cess, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) compensated. Its
function is similar to BTL or GTL but with different output
levels and receiver thresholds. GTLP output LOW level is
less than 0.5V, the output HIGH is 1.5V and the receiver
threshold is 1.0V.

GTLP18T612
Functional Description
The GTLP18T612 is an 18 bit registered transceiver con-
taining D-type flip-flop, latch and transparent modes of
operation for the data path. Data flow in each direction is
controlled by the clock enables (CEAB and CEBA), latch
enables (LEAB and LEBA), clock (CLKAB and CLKBA)
and output enables (OEAB and OEBA). The clock enables
(CEAB and CEBA) and the output enables (OEAB and
OEBA) control the 18 bits of data for the A-to-B and B-to-A
directions respectively.
For A-to-B data flow, when CEAB is LOW, the device oper-
ates on the LOW-to-HIGH transition of CLKAB for the flip-
flop and on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of LEAB for the
latch path. That is, if CEAB is LOW and LEAB is LOW the
A data is latched regardless as to the state of CLKAB
(HIGH or LOW) and if LEAB is HIGH the device is in trans-
parent mode. When OEAB is LOW the outputs are active.
When OEAB is HIGH the outputs are HIGH impedance.
The data flow of B-to-A is similar except that CEBA, OEBA,
LEBA, and CLKBA are used.

Note 10:
GTLP V
REF
and V

are specified to 2% tolerance since signal integrity and noise margin can be significantly degraded if these supplies are noisy.
In addition, V
TT
and Rterm can be adjusted beyond the recommended operating conditions to accommodate backplane impedances other than 50Ω, but
must remain within the boundaries of the DC Absolute Maximum ratings. Similarly V
REF
can be adjusted to optimize noise margin.
Note 11:
For conditions shown as Min or Max, use the appropriate value specified under recommended operating conditions.
Note 12:
This is the increase in supply current for each input that is at the specified TTL voltage level rather than V
CC
or GND.
