FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The Gunning Transceiver Logic — Transceiver Voltage Clamps
(GTL-TVC) provide high-speed voltage translation with low
ON-state resistance and minimal propagation delay. The GTL2000
provides 22 NMOS pass transistors (Sn and Dn) with a common
gate (G
REF
) and a reference transistor (S
REF
and D
REF
). The device
allows bi-directional voltage translations between 1.0 V and 5.0 V
without use of a direction pin.
When the Sn or Dn port is low the clamp is in the ON-state and a
low resistance connection exists between the Sn and Dn ports.
Assuming the higher voltage is on the Dn port, when the Dn port is
high, the voltage on the Sn port is limited to the voltage set by the
reference transistor (S
REF
). When the Sn port is high, the Dn port is
pulled to V
CC
by the pull up resistors. This functionality allows a
seamless translation between higher and lower voltages selected by
the user, without the need for directional control.
All transistors have the same electrical characteristics and there is
minimal deviation from one output to another in voltage or
propagation delay. This is a benefit over discrete transistor voltage
translation solutions, since the fabrication of the transistors is
symmetrical. Because all transistors in the device are identical,
S
REF
and D
REF
can be located on any of the other twenty-two
matched Sn/Dn transistors, allowing for easier board layout. The
translator’s transistors provides excellent ESD protection to lower
voltage devices and at the same time protect less ESD resistant
devices.

22-bit bi-directional low voltage translator
GTL2000
APPLICATIONS
Bi-directional translation
For the bi-directional clamping configuration, higher voltage to lower voltage or lower voltage to higher voltage, the G
REF
input must be
connected to D
REF
and both pins pulled to high side V
CC
through a pull-up resistor (typically 200 kΩ). A filter capacitor on D
REF
is
recommended. The processor output can be totem pole or open drain (pull up resistors may be required) and the chipset output can be totem
pole or open drain (pull up resistors are required to pull the Dn outputs to V
CC
). However, if either output is totem pole, data must be
uni-directional or the outputs must be 3-statable and the outputs must be controlled by some direction control mechanism to prevent high to low
contentions in either direction. If both outputs are open drain, no direction control is needed. The opposite side of the reference transistor (S
REF
)
is connected to the processor core power supply voltage. When D
REF
is connected through a 200 kΩ resistor to a 3.3 V to 5.5 V V
CC
supply
and S
REF
is set between1.0 V to V
CC
- 1.5 V, the output of each Sn has a maximum output voltage equal to S
REF
and the output of each Dn
has a maximum output voltage equal to V
CC
.

Uni-directional down translation
For uni-directional clamping, higher voltage to lower voltage, the G
REF
input must be connected to D
REF
and both pins pulled to the higher side
V
CC
through a pull-up resistor (typically 200 kΩ). A filter capacitor on D
REF
is recommended. Pull up resistors are required if the chipset I/O are
open drain. The opposite side of the reference transistor (S
REF
) is connected to the processor core supply voltage. When D
REF
is connected
through a 200 kΩ resistor to a 3.3 V to 5.5 V V
CC
supply and S
REF
is set between 1.0 V to V
CC
- 1.5 V, the output of each Sn has a maximum
output voltage equal to S
REF
.

Uni-directional up translation
For uni-directional up translation, lower voltage to higher voltage, the reference transistor is connected the same as for a down translation. A
pull-up resistor is required on the higher voltage side (Dn or Sn) to get the full high level, since the GTL-TVC device will only pass the reference
source (S
REF
) voltage as a high when doing an up translation. The driver on the lower voltage side only needs pull-up resistors if it is open
drain.
