Product details
Overview
SN74GTLP21395DGVR 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 into 11-Ω backplane loads - used in IEEE 1394 backplane PHY interfaces and high-reliability multislot systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74GTLP21395DGVR datasheet, SN74GTLP21395DGVR pinout, SN74GTLP21395DGVR application, or SN74GTLP21395DGVR equivalent, key selection criteria include GTLP/LVTTL level translation capability, ERC-controlled edge rates (fast/slow), true/complement polarity selection, TI-OPC™ ringing suppression, OEC™ signal integrity enhancement, and support for hot-plug operation in distributed backplane environments.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent 1-bit transceivers, each with separate A (LVTTL input), B (GTLP I/O), and Y (LVTTL output) terminals, enabling transparent or inverted data flow with dedicated OEAB (B-port enable), OEBY (Y-output enable), and T/C (polarity control) inputs. The split LVTTL port provides real-time feedback for diagnostics and control monitoring without requiring external routing.
TI-OPC™ circuitry actively limits overshoot on unevenly loaded backplanes during low-to-high transitions, while OEC™ improves signal integrity and reduces EMI. Adjustable edge-rate control (ERC) selects fast (ERC = L) or slow (ERC = H) B-port rise/fall times - 1.3 ns/2.6 ns (fast) or 2.5 ns/3.0 ns (slow) - to balance data-transfer rate and signal fidelity across varying backplane impedances.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage (VCC) | 3.15 V to 3.45 V - ensures stable GTLP/LVTTL interface operation with ±3% tolerance around 3.3 V nominal. |
| GTLP output drive | 100 mA sink - enables incident-wave switching into heavily loaded backplanes down to 11 Ω equivalent impedance. |
| LVTTL I/O drive | ±12 mA - compatible with standard 5-V-tolerant LVTTL logic and supports feedback-path signaling. |
| B-port edge rate control | ERC input selects fast (1.3 ns tr / 2.6 ns tf) or slow (2.5 ns tr / 3.0 ns tf) - optimizes timing margin vs. EMI in distributed loads. |
| Live-insertion support | Ioff < 10 µA at VCC = 0 V, power-up 3-state, and BIAS VCC precharge - prevents backflow current and backplane disturbance during card insertion/removal. |
| Signal integrity features | TI-OPC™ (ringing suppression) and OEC™ (EMI reduction) - validated across JEDEC JESD 8-3 GTLP-compliant backplane models. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and embedded backplane applications including VME, CPCI, and FB+ systems. |
Pinout & Package
SN74GTLP21395DGVR uses a 20-pin TVSOP (Thin Very Small Outline Package) with 0.4 mm pitch, body size 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm, and thermal performance θJA = 83°C/W. Pin numbering follows standard DGV/DW/PW top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1Y, 2Y | LVTTL output (feedback path) | Provides diagnostic visibility into B-port data; driven by internal transceiver logic and controlled by OEBY. |
| 1A, 2A | LVTTL input (A-side) | 5-V tolerant LVTTL logic input; connects to host controller or link-layer interface (e.g., TSB14AA1 CTL/DATA lines). |
| 1B, 2B | GTLP bidirectional I/O (B-side) | Backplane-facing GTLP signal terminal; supports 100 mA drive and differential input reference via VREF. |
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB | B-port output-enable (active-low) | Controls GTLP driver state; tied together in typical 1394 PHY interface to OCDOE/TDOE signals. |
| 1OEBY, 2OEBY | Y-output enable (active-low) | Enables/disables LVTTL feedback outputs; typically grounded to maintain continuous receive capability. |
| 1T/C, 2T/C | Polarity control (true/complement) | Selects inversion mode: high = true path (A→B, B→Y), low = complement path (¬A→B, ¬B→Y). |
| ERC | Edge-rate control input | Logic-high = slow edge rate (2.5 ns/3.0 ns); logic-low = fast edge rate (1.3 ns/2.6 ns) - sets B-port slew for load optimization. |
| VREF | GTLP differential input reference | Set to 1 V for GTLP operation (2/3 of VTT = 1.5 V); critical for noise margin and input threshold stability. |
| BIAS VCC | Backplane I/O precharge supply | Connected to 3.3 V to precondition B-port pins before VCC ramp-up - essential for live-insertion compliance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable edge-rate control (ERC) | Two discrete slew settings (fast/slow) allow system-level tuning of GTLP rise/fall times to match backplane trace impedance and length. |
| Integrated 26-Ω series termination | Y outputs include built-in 26-Ω resistors - eliminates need for external series resistors and reduces PCB component count and layout complexity. |
| Split LVTTL port with feedback path | Dedicated A-input and Y-output per channel enable real-time monitoring of backplane data without interrupting primary signal flow. |
| TI-OPC™ active ringing suppression | Dynamic overshoot limiting on GTLP outputs during low-to-high transitions - maintains signal integrity on unterminated or unevenly loaded backplanes. |
| OEC™ electromagnetic compatibility | Output equalization circuitry reduces harmonic content and radiated emissions - improves EMC performance in dense backplane systems. |
Applications
| IEEE 1394 Backplane PHY Interface | High-Speed Multislot Diagnostics Bus |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74GTLP21395DGVR in a backplane system?
The SN74GTLP21395DGVR 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) communication between host controllers (e.g., TSB14AA1) and GTLP backplanes while providing feedback monitoring, polarity selection, and live-insertion support - all critical for IEEE 1394 backplane PHY implementations.
How does the ERC pin affect timing performance of the SN74GTLP21395DGVR?
The ERC pin on the SN74GTLP21395DGVR selects between two discrete edge-rate modes: ERC = L yields fast B-port rise/fall times (1.3 ns / 2.6 ns), while ERC = H yields slower edges (2.5 ns / 3.0 ns). This adjustment directly impacts signal integrity and timing margin - faster edges increase data rate potential but raise EMI risk; slower edges improve noise immunity in heavily loaded or unterminated backplanes.
Can the SN74GTLP21395DGVR operate with GTL (1.2 V VTT) instead of GTLP (1.5 V VTT)?
Yes, the SN74GTLP21395DGVR supports both GTL (VTT = 1.2 V, VREF = 0.8 V) and GTLP (VTT = 1.5 V, VREF = 1.0 V) signaling standards. Its AC specifications are published for GTLP, but DC characteristics remain valid across both - allowing flexible deployment in legacy GTL systems or newer GTLP designs without hardware change.
What is the role of the BIAS VCC pin in SN74GTLP21395DGVR live-insertion operation?
The BIAS VCC pin on the SN74GTLP21395DGVR supplies precharge current to the GTLP B-port I/O pins before main VCC ramps up. When connected to 3.3 V prior to VCC, it conditions the backplane interface to prevent transient disturbances during card insertion - a mandatory requirement for compliant hot-plug operation in IEEE 1394 and VME64x systems.
Does the SN74GTLP21395DGVR require external series resistors on its Y outputs?
No, the SN74GTLP21395DGVR integrates equivalent 26-Ω series resistors on all Y outputs. This eliminates the need for external termination components, reduces PCB footprint, and ensures consistent impedance matching for LVTTL feedback paths - simplifying layout and improving signal fidelity without design overhead.
