Product details
Overview
SN74GTL2107PWR from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit bidirectional GTL–/GTL/GTL+ to LVTTL translator in TSSOP-28 package, operating at 3.3 V supply with VREF-adjustable reference (0.6–1.0 V), 16 mA LVTTL drive strength, and 15 mA GTL sink capability. It enables platform health management in dual-Xeon™ processor systems by translating between processor GTL I/O and LVTTL peripheral logic.
For engineers reviewing the SN74GTL2107PWR datasheet, SN74GTL2107PWR pinout, SN74GTL2107PWR application, or SN74GTL2107PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include GTL–/GTL/GTL+ voltage compatibility, open-drain vs. totem-pole output behavior, enable-controlled translation direction, series-terminated 30 Ω LVTTL outputs, and powered-down high-impedance input isolation.
Technical Context
The SN74GTL2107PWR implements two independent translation domains: EN1 controls 1AO–6AO and 1BI–6BI (6-bit group), while EN2 governs 7BO1/7BO2, 9AO/9BI, 10AI1/10AI2/10BO1/10BO2, and 11A/11BI/11BO (6-bit group). Each domain supports bidirectional signal flow with separate enable timing and internal delay compensation on 7BO1/7BO2 to prevent glitches during 5BI/6BI transitions.
It features mixed I/O types: LVTTL inputs/outputs (1AO–6AO, 9AO, 10AI1/10AI2) are totem-pole with 30 Ω series termination; GTL I/O (1BI–6BI, 9BI, 10BO1/10BO2, 11BI/11BO) are open-drain with external pull-up; VREF sets GTL threshold (VREF ± 50 mV); and all LVTTL inputs remain high-impedance with no leakage when VCC = 0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - ensures compatibility with 3.3-V LVTTL systems and stable GTL interface operation |
| VREF Range | 0.5–1.8 V - configures GTL– (0.6 V), GTL (0.8 V), or GTL+ (1.0 V) input thresholds for precise signal recognition |
| LVTTL Output Drive | IOL = 16 mA / IOH = –16 mA - supports direct connection to standard LVTTL loads without external buffers |
| GTL Output Sink | IOL = 15 mA - enables robust open-drain GTL bus driving with typical 1.2-V or 1.5-V VTT termination |
| Propagation Delay | tPHL/tPLH = 2–10 ns (A↔B), up to 350 ns (B→B) - meets Xeon™ platform timing budgets for health-monitoring signals like PROCHOT_L and THRMTRIP_L |
| ESD Rating | HBM = 2000 V, MM = 200 V, CDM = 1000 V - qualifies for use in production server motherboard environments with handling exposure |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade thermal operation in dual-CPU server chassis |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-28 (PW) package: 9.7 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VREF | GTL reference voltage input - sets input threshold for all GTL I/O pins (±50 mV window) |
| 2–6, 8, 10–13, 15, 23 | ENn / nAn | LVTTL enable inputs and totem-pole outputs - EN1 controls pins 1AO–6AO; EN2 controls 9AO, 10AI1/10AI2, etc. |
| 7, 9, 16–22, 24–27 | nBn | GTL–/GTL/GTL+ open-drain I/O - require external pull-up to VTT (1.2 V or 1.5 V); support bidirectional translation |
| 14 | GND | Ground reference - common return for all I/O and supply paths |
| 28 | VCC | 3.3-V power supply - powers internal logic and LVTTL outputs; must be decoupled near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Translation | Two independent enable-controlled domains (EN1/EN2) allow simultaneous A→B and B→A signal flow without bus contention |
| Powered-Down Input Isolation | All LVTTL inputs (including 10AI1/10AI2) present high-impedance state with zero leakage to VCC when VCC = 0 V |
| GTL Glitch Suppression | Internal 100-ns delay on 7BO1/7BO2 prevents low-glitch transients during 5BI/6BI rising-edge transitions |
| Series-Terminated Outputs | 30 Ω on-chip series resistor on all LVTTL outputs eliminates need for discrete termination resistors on PCB |
| JESD 78 Latch-Up Immunity | Qualified to JEDEC JESD78 Class II - ensures robustness against CMOS latch-up in high-noise server backplanes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GTL-to-LVTTL translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74GTL16212DGGR | 24-bit, 56-pin TSSOP, dual VREF inputs, higher channel count, no built-in 30 Ω series termination | Suitable for wider data buses (e.g., address/control lines), requires external termination resistors | Select when scaling beyond 12 bits or needing independent VREF per port group |
| SN74AVC16T245DGGR | 16-bit AVC translator, 1.2–3.6 V dual-supply, no GTL-specific VREF, lower drive (12 mA), no glitch suppression | General-purpose voltage translation only; lacks GTL threshold tuning and thermal-signal timing hardening | Select for non-GTL mixed-voltage I/O where GTL compliance is not required |
Compared with SN74GTL2107PWR, SN74GTL16212DGGR offers greater channel density but demands external termination and lacks the 7BO1/7BO2 glitch suppression critical for thermal signaling; SN74AVC16T245DGGR provides broader voltage flexibility but cannot meet GTL–/GTL/GTL+ threshold accuracy or Xeon™ platform timing requirements.

FAQ
What is the function of VREF on SN74GTL2107PWR?
VREF on SN74GTL2107PWR sets the input threshold voltage for all GTL–/GTL/GTL+ I/O pins (1BI–6BI, 9BI, 10BO1/10BO2, 11BI/11BO). It must be externally supplied at 0.6 V for GTL–, 0.8 V for GTL, or 1.0 V for GTL+, enabling precise recognition of GTL logic levels. The SN74GTL2107PWR uses VREF ± 50 mV as its valid input window, ensuring noise margin in high-speed server backplanes.
Does SN74GTL2107PWR support bidirectional translation on all channels?
Yes, SN74GTL2107PWR supports bidirectional translation across all 12 channels, grouped into two independently enabled domains: EN1 controls 1AO–6AO ↔ 1BI–6BI (6-bit), and EN2 controls 9AO ↔ 9BI, 10AI1/10AI2 ↔ 10BO1/10BO2, and 11A ↔ 11BI/11BO (6-bit). Direction is determined by enable state and signal source-no external direction control pin is needed per channel.
How does SN74GTL2107PWR behave when powered down (VCC = 0 V)?
When VCC = 0 V, all LVTTL inputs (including 10AI1 and 10AI2) enter a true high-impedance state with no leakage current to the power rail-even if pulled to 3.3 V externally. GTL inputs and open-drain outputs also exhibit no leakage under the same condition. However, LVTTL totem-pole outputs (e.g., 1AO–6AO, 9AO) may conduct if externally pulled high while VCC is grounded.
What is the purpose of the 30 Ω series termination on SN74GTL2107PWR LVTTL outputs?
The 30 Ω on-die series termination on SN74GTL2107PWR LVTTL outputs (1AO–6AO, 9AO, 10AI1/10AI2) matches typical PCB trace impedance in server motherboard layouts, minimizing signal reflections and overshoot on high-speed control lines such as PROCHOT_L and THRMTRIP_L. This eliminates the need for discrete 30 Ω resistors in series with each output, reducing BOM count and layout area.
Is SN74GTL2107PWR compatible with GTL+, GTL, and GTL– standards simultaneously?
Yes, SN74GTL2107PWR supports all three GTL variants via VREF configuration: GTL– (VREF = 0.6 V), GTL (VREF = 0.8 V), and GTL+ (VREF = 1.0 V). Electrical characteristics-including VIH/VIL windows, VOL/VOH levels, and switching delays-are validated across all three modes per the datasheet. The SN74GTL2107PWR maintains full functionality and timing compliance in each mode without hardware change.
