description
The SN74GTLP1394 is a high-drive 2-bit 3-wire bus transceiver that provides LVTTL-to-GTL+ and
GTL+-to-LVTTL signal-level translation. It allows for transparent and inverted transparent modes of data
transfer with separate LVTTL input and LVTTL output pins. The device provides a high-speed interface between
cards operating at LVTTL logic levels and a backplane operating at GTL+ signal levels and is especially
designed to work with the Texas Instruments TSB14C01A 1394 Backplane Physical-Layer Controller.
High-speed (about two times faster than standard LVTTL or TTL) backplane operation is a direct result of
GTLP’s reduced output swing (<1 V), reduced input threshold levels, improved differential input, and output
edge control (OEC ). Improved GTLP OEC circuits minimize bus settling time and have been designed and
tested using several backplane models. The high drive is suitable for driving double-terminated low-impedance
backplanes using incident-wave switching.
GTL+ is the Texas Instruments derivative of the Gunning transceiver logic (GTL) JEDEC standard JESD 8-3.
The AC specification of the SN74GTLP1394 is given only at the preferred higher noise margin GTL+, but the
user has the flexibility of using this device at either GTL (V = 1.2 V and V
= 0.8 V) or GTL+ (V = 1.5 V

Normally, the B port operates at GTL or GTL+ levels. The A inputs, Y outputs, and control inputs are compatible
with LVTTL logic levels and are 5-V tolerant. V is the reference input voltage for the B port.

circuitry disables the outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered
