Product details
Overview
SN74GTLP21395PWR 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 drive into distributed backplane loads down to 11 Ω.
For engineers reviewing the SN74GTLP21395PWR datasheet, SN74GTLP21395PWR pinout, SN74GTLP21395PWR application, or SN74GTLP21395PWR equivalent, this device is selected for IEEE 1394 backplane PHY interfacing, high-speed diagnostics monitoring, and hot-pluggable card-level clock/data bridging where edge-rate control, output impedance matching, and LVTTL/GTLP voltage domain isolation are critical.
Technical Context
The SN74GTLP21395PWR implements two independent 1-bit transceivers, each with separate A (LVTTL input), B (GTLP bidirectional I/O), and Y (LVTTL output) terminals, plus dedicated OEAB/OEBY and T/C controls per channel. Its TI-OPC™ circuitry actively suppresses overshoot on unevenly terminated backplanes, while OEC™ improves signal integrity and reduces EMI.
Variable edge-rate control (ERC) selects fast (ERC = L) or slow (ERC = H) B-port rise/fall times - 1.3/2.6 ns (fast) or 2.5/3.0 ns (slow) - enabling optimization of data-transfer rate versus signal integrity across varying backplane impedances. The integrated 26-Ω series-equivalent resistance at Y outputs eliminates external termination resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 3.15–3.45 V: Ensures stable operation in 3.3-V systems with ±4.5% tolerance. |
| GTLP Output Drive | 100 mA sink: Enables incident-wave switching on heavily loaded backplanes (Zeq ≥ 11 Ω). |
| LVTTL I/O Drive | ±12 mA: Compatible with standard LVTTL logic families and 5-V-tolerant inputs. |
| B-Port Edge Rate | 1.3–3.0 ns (20%–80%): Adjustable via ERC pin to balance speed and signal integrity. |
| Propagation Delay (A→B) | 3.4–4.3 ns (fast/slow): Measured under GTLP RLC load conditions for real backplane performance. |
| Live Insertion Support | Ioff < 10 µA at VCC = 0 V: Prevents backflow current during hot-swap events. |

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; top-side marking "GU395".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1Y, 2Y | LVTTL output (feedback path) | Provides isolated LVTTL-level echo of B-port data for diagnostics and control monitoring. |
| 1A, 2A | LVTTL input (A-port) | Accepts 3.3-V LVTTL or 5-V-tolerant signals from host controller or link-layer logic. |
| 1B, 2B | GTLP bidirectional I/O | Connects directly to backplane traces; requires VTT = 1.5 V and VREF = 1 V reference. |
| 1OEAB, 2OEAB | GTLP output-enable (active low) | Controls B-port driver state; tied to PHY OCDOE for coordinated transmit enable. |
| 1OEBY, 2OEBY | LVTTL output-enable (active low) | Typically grounded to maintain continuous Y-path monitoring of backplane activity. |
| 1T/C, 2T/C | Polarity select (true/complement) | Configures data inversion: high = true mode (A→B, B→Y); low = inverted mode. |
| ERC | Edge-rate control input | High = slow edges (2.5/3.0 ns); low = fast edges (1.3/2.6 ns) for tuning signal integrity. |
| VREF | GTLP differential input reference | Set to 1 V for GTLP; establishes noise margin and threshold for B-port receivers. |
| BIAS VCC | Backplane precharge supply | 3.3 V input that preconditions B-port I/O before VCC ramp-up, enabling true live insertion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LVTTL-to-GTLP bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74GTLP2207PWR | Single 8-bit transceiver; no split A/Y port or feedback path; fixed edge rate; no ERC pin. | Suitable for bulk data transfer only; lacks diagnostic monitoring capability and polarity selection per bit. | Select when high-density unidirectional data bridging is required and feedback monitoring is unnecessary. |
| SN74GTLP1395PWR | Single-channel version; identical pinout per channel but half the channel count; same ERC, T/C, and BIAS VCC features. | Used where only one 1-bit path is needed (e.g., strobe-only or clock-only interface), reducing component count. | Select to minimize BOM cost and PCB footprint when dual-channel functionality is not required. |
Compared with SN74GTLP2207PWR and SN74GTLP1395PWR, the SN74GTLP21395PWR uniquely combines dual independent channels, split LVTTL feedback (A/Y), per-channel polarity control (T/C), and adjustable edge-rate (ERC) - making it the only option for IEEE 1394 PHY interfaces requiring concurrent data + strobe translation with real-time monitoring.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74GTLP21395PWR in a backplane system?
The SN74GTLP21395PWR serves as a dual 1-bit bidirectional level translator between LVTTL logic domains (host side) and GTLP signal domains (backplane side). It enables high-speed data and strobe transmission while providing an isolated LVTTL feedback path (via Y outputs) for diagnostics and control monitoring - a core requirement for IEEE 1394 backplane PHY implementations such as those using the TSB14AA1 controller. Its design ensures compatibility with 25/50/100-Mbps backplane operation.
How does the ERC pin affect signal integrity in the SN74GTLP21395PWR?
The ERC (Edge-Rate Control) pin on the SN74GTLP21395PWR selects between two discrete B-port output slew rates: ERC = L yields fast edges (1.3 ns rise / 2.6 ns fall), while ERC = H yields slow edges (2.5 ns rise / 3.0 ns fall). This adjustment allows designers to optimize trade-offs between data-transfer rate and signal integrity on real-world distributed backplane loads - minimizing ringing and overshoot without requiring external RC networks or layout revisions. The SN74GTLP21395PWR's TI-OPC™ circuitry further enhances this behavior by actively suppressing overshoot during low-to-high transitions.
Can the SN74GTLP21395PWR be used in GTL-mode applications (VTT = 1.2 V, VREF = 0.8 V)?
Yes, the SN74GTLP21395PWR supports both GTL (VTT = 1.2 V, VREF = 0.8 V) and GTLP (VTT = 1.5 V, VREF = 1.0 V) operating points, though its AC specifications are guaranteed only at GTLP. When used in GTL mode, designers must verify noise margins and timing margins against system requirements, particularly for 100-Mbps operation. The device's input thresholds and output drive strength remain functional across both standards, and TI application reports SCEA019 and SCEA017 provide guidance for GTLP-in-BTL and GTL interoperability.
What is the role of the BIAS VCC pin in the SN74GTLP21395PWR, and how should it be connected?
The BIAS VCC pin on the SN74GTLP21395PWR supplies precharge voltage to the B-port I/O circuitry, enabling true live insertion by preconditioning backplane connections before main VCC ramps up. It must be connected to a stable 3.3-V supply - same as VCC - and powered *before* VCC during card insertion. TI specifies strict sequencing: GND and BIAS VCC first, then B-port I/O, then VCC last. Failure to follow this sequence may cause transient disturbances on active backplane data lines. The SN74GTLP21395PWR's BIAS VCC circuitry draws ≤10 µA when inactive and up to 5 mA during precharge.
Does the SN74GTLP21395PWR require external termination resistors on its Y outputs?
No, the SN74GTLP21395PWR integrates a 26-Ω series-equivalent resistance at each Y output, explicitly designed to match typical PCB trace impedances and suppress overshoot/undershoot. This eliminates the need for external series termination resistors on the LVTTL feedback path - simplifying layout, reducing BOM count, and improving signal fidelity for diagnostic monitoring. The value is process-trimmed and temperature-compensated, ensuring consistent performance across –40°C to 85°C operation without calibration.
