GTLP6C816
GTLP-to-TTL 1:6 Clock Driver
typically less than 0.5V, the output level HIGH is 1.5V and
the receiver threshold is 1.0V.
General Description
The GTLP6C816 is a clock driver that provides TTL to
GTLP signal level translation (and vice versa). The device
provides a high speed interface between cards operating at
TTL 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 thresh-
old levels and output edge rate control. The edge rate con-
Features
■ Interface between TTL and GTLP logic levels
■ Edge Rate Control to minimize noise on the GTLP port
■ Power up/down high impedance for live insertion
■ 1:6 fanout clock driver for TTL port
trol minimizes bus settling time. GTLP is
a Fairchild
■ 1:2 fanout clock driver for GTLP port
Semiconductor derivative of the Gunning Transceiver logic
(GTL) JEDEC standard JESD8-3.
■ TTL compatible driver and control inputs
Fairchild’s GTLP has internal edge-rate control and is pro-
cess, voltage, and temperature (PVT) compensated. Its
function is similar to BTL and GTL but with different output
levels and receiver threshold. GTLP output LOW level is
■ Flow through pinout optimizes PCB layout
■ Open drain on GTLP to support wired-or connection
■ Recommended Operating Temperature −40°C to +85°C
