Product details
Overview
74GTLPH306DGVR from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit LVTTL-to-GTLP bidirectional bus transceiver in a 24-pin TVSOP package, supporting hot insertion, bus-hold on A-port inputs, and TI-OPC/OEC circuitry for backplane signal integrity. It operates at 3.3 V supply with GTLP B-port outputs (50 mA drive), LVTTL A-port I/O (±24 mA), and VREF-referenced differential inputs - designed for high-speed communication between LVTTL cards and GTLP backplanes in telecom switching systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74GTLPH306DGVR datasheet, 74GTLPH306DGVR pinout, 74GTLPH306DGVR application, or 74GTLPH306DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include GTLP/LVTTL level translation capability, medium-drive output performance (50 mA B-port sink), hot-insertion support via Ioff and power-up 3-state, bus-hold functionality, and compatibility with distributed-load backplanes down to 19 Ω impedance.
Technical Context
The 74GTLPH306DGVR implements asynchronous bidirectional data flow controlled by DIR and OE inputs: low OE enables transmission, while DIR selects A→B (DIR = high) or B→A (DIR = low). Its TI-OPC circuitry actively limits overshoot during low-to-high transitions on unevenly loaded backplanes, and OEC circuitry reduces EMI and improves settling time.
It features dual-voltage domain operation: A-port and control inputs tolerate 5 V and operate at LVTTL logic levels (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), while B-port uses GTLP signaling (VTT = 1.5 V, VREF = 1 V) with fast rise/fall times (tr/tf = 1.2/2.2 ns into RLC load). Bus-hold on A inputs eliminates need for external pull resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.15–3.45 V - ensures stable operation across industrial temperature range without rail collapse |
| B-port Output Drive | 50 mA sink - supports incident-wave switching on heavily loaded backplanes (ZLOAD ≥ 19 Ω) |
| A-port I/O Drive | ±24 mA - compatible with standard LVTTL/TTL loads and 5-V-tolerant input interfaces |
| Propagation Delay (A→B) | 3.6 ns typical into RLC load - optimized for distributed backplane timing budgets |
| Hot-Insertion Support | Ioff ≤ 10 µA at VCC = 0 - prevents backflow current during live card insertion |
| Bus-Hold Current | IBHL = 75 µA / IBHH = –75 µA - maintains valid logic state on undriven A-port inputs |
| VREF Input Range | 0.87–1.1 V - sets GTLP input threshold; must be within 0.6 V of VTT to minimize current drain |
Pinout & Package
74GTLPH306DGVR is housed in a 24-pin Thin Very Small Outline Package (TVSOP, DGV), 4.4 mm × 6.6 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6, 11, 14, 19, 22 | GND | Ground reference for both A- and B-port domains; six dedicated pins reduce ground bounce |
| 2, 23 | VCC | 3.3-V supply for internal logic and A-port drivers; dual connection improves PSRR |
| 3–10, 15–20 | A1–A8, B1–B8 | Bidirectional data channels; A-side LVTTL, B-side GTLP; pin-mapped 1:1 for trace routing |
| 12 | DIR | Direction control: high = A→B, low = B→A; TTL-compatible input with bus-hold |
| 13 | OE | Output enable: low = active, high = 3-state; controls isolation of both ports simultaneously |
| 21 | VREF | Differential reference voltage for B-port GTLP receivers; externally supplied at 1 V ±0.13 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74GTLPH306DWR | SOIC-24 package (DW), same electrical specs, higher thermal resistance (θJA = 46°C/W vs. 86°C/W) | Better PCB heat dissipation in low-airflow environments; larger footprint limits high-density layouts | Select when thermal management prioritizes conduction over space constraints |
| SN74GTLPH306PWR | TSSOP-24 package (PW), identical pinout and specs, slightly wider body (4.4 mm vs. 4.3 mm) and different tape/reel packaging | Compatible with existing TSSOP assembly lines; marginally lower mechanical robustness than TVSOP in vibration-prone racks | Select when production line already supports PW package and board layout allows 0.1 mm extra width |
Compared with SN74GTLPH306DWR and SN74GTLPH306PWR, the 74GTLPH306DGVR offers the smallest PCB footprint (TVSOP), optimal for space-constrained telecom line cards, though with higher thermal resistance - making it ideal for applications where density outweighs steady-state power dissipation concerns.

FAQ
What voltage levels does the 74GTLPH306DGVR support on its A-port and B-port?
The 74GTLPH306DGVR A-port and control inputs operate at LVTTL logic levels (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and are 5-V tolerant, allowing direct interface with TTL and 5-V CMOS. The B-port operates at GTLP signal levels with VTT = 1.5 V and VREF = 1 V, enabling high-speed backplane communication. This dual-domain design is fundamental to the 74GTLPH306DGVR's role as a level-shifting transceiver in mixed-voltage systems.
Does the 74GTLPH306DGVR support hot insertion, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the 74GTLPH306DGVR fully supports hot insertion via two integrated features: Ioff circuitry disables outputs when VCC = 0, preventing damaging current backflow, and power-up 3-state places outputs in high-impedance during power ramp-up/down. These mechanisms are verified per JEDEC standards and ensure safe live insertion into powered backplanes - a core requirement addressed in the 74GTLPH306DGVR's design specification.
What is the function of the VREF pin on the 74GTLPH306DGVR, and what tolerance is required?
The VREF pin on the 74GTLPH306DGVR serves as the differential input reference voltage for the B-port GTLP receivers. It must be set to 1 V ±0.13 V (0.87–1.1 V) for GTLP operation and should remain within 0.6 V of VTT to minimize current drain. TI-OPC circuitry activates only when VTT exceeds VREF by >0.7 V, making precise VREF regulation essential for reliable 74GTLPH306DGVR operation in A→B mode.
How does the bus-hold feature work on the 74GTLPH306DGVR A-port inputs?
The 74GTLPH306DGVR integrates active bus-hold circuitry on all A-port inputs, sourcing or sinking up to ±75 µA to maintain a valid logic state (IBHH/IBHL) when inputs are floating or undriven. This eliminates the need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors and ensures deterministic behavior in partially populated backplane slots - a key reliability feature confirmed in the 74GTLPH306DGVR's functional description and electrical characteristics table.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for supply voltage and input voltage on the 74GTLPH306DGVR?
The 74GTLPH306DGVR has an absolute maximum VCC rating of –0.5 V to 4.6 V, and input voltage limits of –0.5 V to 7 V on A-port/control inputs and –0.5 V to 4.6 V on B-port/VREF pins. Exceeding these values risks permanent damage. These ratings are explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official 74GTLPH306DGVR datasheet (SCES284E) and must be respected in all operating conditions.
