Product details
Overview
SN74GTLP1395PW from Texas Instruments is a dual 1-bit LVTTL-to-GTLP adjustable-edge-rate bus transceiver with split LVTTL port, feedback path, and selectable polarity. It provides bidirectional signal-level translation between 3.3-V LVTTL logic (5-V tolerant) and GTLP backplane signals (VTT = 1.5 V, VREF = 1 V), supports live insertion via Ioff, power-up 3-state, and BIAS VCC, and delivers 100 mA GTLP output drive for incident-wave switching on heavily loaded backplanes down to 11 Ω.
For engineers reviewing the SN74GTLP1395PW datasheet, SN74GTLP1395PW pinout, SN74GTLP1395PW application, or SN74GTLP1395PW equivalent, this device is selected for IEEE 1394 backplane PHY interfacing, high-speed distributed-load clock distribution, diagnostics feedback paths in modular chassis, and hot-pluggable card edge interfaces requiring controlled edge rates and 5-V-tolerant control inputs.
Technical Context
The SN74GTLP1395PW implements two independent 1-bit transceivers, each with separate A (LVTTL input), B (GTLP I/O), and Y (LVTTL output) terminals, enabling true transparent or inverted data flow via T/C control and isolated enable paths (OEAB for B-port, OEBY for Y-output). Its TI-OPC™ circuitry actively suppresses overshoot on unevenly loaded backplanes, while OEC™ improves signal integrity and reduces EMI.
Edge-rate control is implemented via the ERC pin: ERC = H selects slow rise/fall times (~6.3 ns / ~6.7 ns A→B), ERC = L selects fast edges (~5.3 ns / ~5.6 ns A→B); both modes are characterized into distributed RLC loads matching real 1394 backplane topologies. The BIAS VCC pin preconditions GTLP I/O during live insertion, and VREF sets differential input threshold at 1 V for GTLP operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 3.15 V to 3.45 V - ensures stable GTLP/LVTTL translation and enables TI-OPC/OEC functionality |
| GTLP Output Drive | 100 mA sink - supports incident-wave switching on backplanes with ≤11 Ω equivalent load impedance |
| LVTTL I/O Tolerance | 5-V tolerant A-port and control inputs - allows direct interface with legacy TTL/5-V CMOS without level shifters |
| Edge-Rate Control | ERC pin selects fast/slow B-port transitions - optimizes signal integrity vs. data rate trade-off across distributed loads |
| Live Insertion Support | Ioff, power-up 3-state, and BIAS VCC - prevents current backflow, bus conflict, and backplane disturbance during card hot-swap |
| Propagation Delay (A→B, Fast) | 2.5 ns (min) to 5.3 ns (typ) - enables reliable 100-Mbps IEEE 1394 backplane timing margins |
| Input Clamp Current | ±18 mA - meets JESD 22 Class II latch-up immunity (>100 mA) and robust ESD protection |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 (PW) package: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 marked by beveled corner; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise sequence from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1Y, 2Y | LVTTL output (feedback path) | Provides diagnostic visibility into B-port data; driven only when corresponding OEBY = L |
| 1A, 2A | LVTTL input (A-port) | 5-V tolerant; accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels; feeds data toward B-port or Y-output |
| 1B, 2B | GTLP bidirectional I/O (B-port) | Connects to backplane; requires VTT = 1.5 V termination and VREF = 1 V reference |
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB | B-port output enable (active low) | Controls GTLP driver state independently per channel; tied to PHY OCDOE in 1394 systems |
| 1OEBY, 2OEBY | Y-output enable (active low) | Enables feedback path; typically grounded to maintain continuous monitoring capability |
| 1T/C, 2T/C | Polarity control (true/complement) | Selects inversion: T/C = H → true mode; T/C = L → complement mode for strobe/data pairing |
| ERC | Edge-rate control input | ERC = L → fast edges (~5.3 ns A→B); ERC = H → slow edges (~6.3 ns A→B) for noise-sensitive loads |
| VREF | GTLP differential input reference | Set to 1 V for GTLP; establishes 0.8–1.1 V input threshold window; must be within 0.6 V of VTT |
| BIAS VCC | Backplane I/O precharge supply | Connected to 3.3 V during live insertion to precondition B-port pins and prevent data corruption |
| GND, VCC | Power terminals | Four GND pins (pins 4, 8, 13, 17) reduce ground bounce; VCC (pin 6) powers internal logic and drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74GTLP1395PW in a backplane system?
The SN74GTLP1395PW serves as a dual 1-bit bidirectional level translator between 3.3-V LVTTL logic and GTLP backplane signals. It enables high-speed (up to 100 Mbps) data and strobe transmission across parallel backplanes while supporting live insertion, diagnostics feedback, and adjustable edge rates. In systems like IEEE 1394, the SN74GTLP1395PW interfaces directly with PHY controllers such as the TSB14AA1 to manage data/strobe routing and provide real-time observability via its split LVTTL port.
How does the ERC pin affect timing performance of the SN74GTLP1395PW?
The ERC (Edge-Rate Control) pin on the SN74GTLP1395PW selects between two discrete slew-rate settings for the GTLP B-port outputs: ERC = L enables fast edges (typ. 5.3 ns A→B tPLH), while ERC = H enables slower edges (typ. 6.3 ns A→B tPLH). This adjustment directly impacts signal integrity on distributed backplane loads - faster edges improve data rate but increase ringing risk on unterminated traces; slower edges enhance noise margin at the cost of marginally reduced maximum frequency. The choice is system-dependent and validated against actual RLC load models.
Can the SN74GTLP1395PW interface with 5-V logic devices?
Yes, the SN74GTLP1395PW's A-port inputs (1A, 2A), control inputs (1OEAB, 2OEAB, 1OEBY, 2OEBY, 1T/C, 2T/C, ERC), and Y-outputs (1Y, 2Y) are all 5-V tolerant. They operate at LVTTL voltage levels (VCC = 3.3 V) but accept input voltages up to 5.5 V without damage or functional degradation. This allows direct connection to legacy 5-V microcontrollers, FPGAs, or CPLDs without external level-shifting circuitry - a key advantage in mixed-voltage backplane systems.
What role does BIAS VCC play during live insertion of a card using the SN74GTLP1395PW?
BIAS VCC on the SN74GTLP1395PW preconditions the GTLP B-port I/O pins during live insertion by applying 3.3 V before VCC is powered. This precharges the backplane lines to avoid transient disturbances that could corrupt active data on the bus. When BIAS VCC is applied first (followed by GND, then I/O, then VCC), the SN74GTLP1395PW enters a safe high-impedance state without injecting noise - a critical requirement for hot-swap compliance in VME, CPCI, and IEEE 1394 chassis. Without proper BIAS VCC sequencing, the SN74GTLP1395PW cannot guarantee glitch-free insertion.
Is the SN74GTLP1395PW compatible with both GTL and GTLP signaling standards?
Yes, the SN74GTLP1395PW is specified for operation with both GTL (VTT = 1.2 V, VREF = 0.8 V) and GTLP (VTT = 1.5 V, VREF = 1.0 V) signal levels. While its AC specifications are published only for GTLP, the device's architecture supports either standard. For GTL use, VREF must be set to 0.8 V and remain within ±0.05 V of VTT; for GTLP, VREF = 1.0 V is recommended and must stay within 0.6 V of VTT. The SN74GTLP1395PW's OEC™ and TI-OPC™ circuitry remain fully functional under both configurations.
