Product details
Overview
SN74GTL3004DCKR from Texas Instruments is a selectable GTL voltage reference IC designed for GTL/GTL+ bus termination in high-speed digital systems. It delivers four precision resistor-ratio outputs (0.615×, 0.63×, 0.65×, or 0.67× VTT) with ±1% resistor ratio tolerance, operates from 3.0 V to 3.6 V VDD and 1 V to 1.3 V VTT, and supports –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature - enabling robust signal integrity in server memory interfaces and backplane applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN74GTL3004DCKR datasheet, SN74GTL3004DCKR pinout, SN74GTL3004DCKR application, or SN74GTL3004DCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include GTL_REF accuracy under load, S0/S1 glitch immunity, VTT supply range compliance, thermal performance in SC70 packaging, and compatibility with GTL+ signaling standards requiring stable 0.6–0.7× VTT references.
Technical Context
The SN74GTL3004DCKR integrates five on-die resistors and control logic to generate a programmable GTL reference voltage from VTT, selected via two CMOS-compatible inputs (S0, S1). Its internal resistor network achieves precise ratios without external components, and built-in 100-kΩ pullups ensure default 0.67× VTT operation when inputs float.
It features glitch-suppression circuitry on S0/S1 inputs for noise immunity in electrically noisy environments, and meets JESD-22 ESD ratings of 2500-V HBM, 250-V MM, and 1500-V CDM - confirming suitability for board-level integration in industrial and telecom infrastructure where transient resilience is critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GTL reference generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74GTL2003DCKR | Fixed 0.65× VTT ratio only; no S0/S1 select inputs; same DCK package and VDD/VTT ranges | Suitable only where single-ratio reference suffices; lacks programmability for multi-standard systems | Choose when GTL bus configuration is static and cost reduction is prioritized over flexibility |
| MAX9959EUA+ | Adjustable 0.5–0.8× VTT via external resistor divider; higher VTT range (1.2–3.6 V); µMAX-8 package | Supports wider VTT and non-GTL protocols; requires external components and PCB area | Choose when VTT exceeds 1.3 V or when fine-tuning beyond four discrete ratios is required |
Compared with SN74GTL3004DCKR, SN74GTL2003DCKR offers lower cost but no ratio selection, while MAX9959EUA+ provides analog adjustability at the expense of added complexity and larger footprint - making SN74GTL3004DCKR optimal for space-constrained, multi-standard GTL+ designs needing guaranteed ±1% ratio accuracy.

FAQ
What is the default GTL_REF ratio for SN74GTL3004DCKR when S0 and S1 are left unconnected?
When both S0 and S1 pins are left floating, internal 100-kΩ pullup resistors set them HIGH, selecting the 0.67× VTT ratio as the default GTL_REF output. This behavior is confirmed in the function table and logic diagram of the SN74GTL3004DCKR datasheet, and applies across the full operating temperature range.
Does SN74GTL3004DCKR require external resistors to set the GTL_REF voltage?
No, SN74GTL3004DCKR does not require external resistors. All five resistors used to generate the four GTL_REF ratios are integrated on-die with ±1% ratio tolerance. The device uses only VDD, GND, VTT, S0, S1, and GTL_REF connections - eliminating external component count and layout sensitivity.
What is the maximum allowable VTT voltage for reliable operation of SN74GTL3004DCKR?
The recommended operating condition for VTT is 1.0 V to 1.3 V. While absolute maximum rating allows up to 4.6 V, exceeding 1.3 V violates the specified GTL+ signaling standard and degrades GTL_REF accuracy - the SN74GTL3004DCKR is characterized and guaranteed only within the 1.0–1.3 V range.
Can SN74GTL3004DCKR drive multiple GTL bus termination networks simultaneously?
SN74GTL3004DCKR specifies GTL_REF output current capability of 0–10 µA. It is intended to drive the high-impedance reference input of GTL line receivers, not termination resistors directly. For driving multiple receiver reference inputs, verify total load remains ≤10 µA; additional buffering may be needed for >10 receivers.
Is SN74GTL3004DCKR RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SN74GTL3004DCKR is RoHS-compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish. Per TI's Packaging Information Addendum, it carries "Yes" for RoHS and "Level-1-260C-UNLIM" MSL rating - confirming full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and suitability for standard Pb-free reflow processes.
