Product details
Overview
SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR from Texas Instruments is a 32-bit LVTTL-to-GTLP bidirectional bus transceiver with adjustable edge-rate control (ERC), high-drive GTLP outputs (100 mA), 5-V-tolerant LVTTL inputs, and live-insertion support via Ioff, power-up 3-state, and BIAS VCC. It operates at 3.3-V supply with GTLP termination at 1.5 V and VREF at 1 V, enabling high-speed backplane communication in telecom rack systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR datasheet, SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR pinout, SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR application, or SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR equivalent, key selection criteria include GTLP/LVTTL level translation capability, ERC-controlled rise/fall times (1.2–2.5 ns fast mode), distributed-load backplane timing (tPLH/tPHL = 3.7 ns typical), live-insertion compliance, and LFBGA-168 (GKF) package compatibility with high-density backplane card designs.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 8-bit transceiver segments, each with dedicated DIR/OE controls, ERC input, BIAS VCC, and VREF pins. Its TI-OPC circuitry actively suppresses overshoot on unevenly loaded backplanes, while OEC circuitry reduces EMI and improves signal integrity under distributed RLC loads (11 Ω effective impedance).
The transceiver supports dual-mode operation: A-port and control signals operate at LVTTL logic levels (0–3.3 V, 5-V tolerant), while B-port interfaces with GTLP backplanes (VTT = 1.5 V, VREF = 1 V). ERC voltage selection (GND = slow, VCC = fast) directly sets B-port output edge rates to optimize data-transfer rate versus signal integrity trade-offs in real-world backplane topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 3.15 V to 3.45 V - Ensures stable 3.3-V rail operation with ±4.5% tolerance for industrial temperature range. |
| B-port Output Drive | 100 mA sink - Enables incident-wave switching on heavily loaded backplanes down to 11 Ω characteristic impedance. |
| A-port Drive Strength | –24 mA / 24 mA - Compatible with standard LVTTL buses and 5-V TTL/CMOS inputs without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (A→B, Fast ERC) | 3.7 ns typical into RLC load - Verified for distributed backplane topologies, not lumped test loads. |
| Rise/Fall Time (B-port, Fast) | 1.2 ns / 1.8 ns (20–80%) - Adjustable via ERC pin to balance speed and ringing in multi-slot systems. |
| Live-Insertion Support | Ioff < 10 µA, IOZPU/IOZPD ±30 µA - Prevents backfeed current and bus conflict during hot-plug events. |
| Bus-Hold on A Inputs | IBHL ≥ 75 µA, IBHH ≥ –75 µA - Eliminates need for external pull resistors on undriven LVTTL data lines. |
Pinout & Package
LFBGA-168 package (GKF), 12 mm × 12 mm, 0.8-mm pitch, bottom-side solder balls. Features distributed VCC/GND pins to minimize simultaneous switching noise and dedicated BIAS VCC/VREF per segment for backplane precharge stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A1–1A8, 2A1–2A8, 3A1–3A8, 4A1–4A8 | LVTTL Data Inputs/Outputs (A-port) | 32-bit LVTTL interface; 5-V tolerant; integrated bus-hold active on all A inputs. |
| 1B1–1B8, 2B1–2B8, 3B1–3B8, 4B1–4B8 | GTLP Data Inputs/Outputs (B-port) | 32-bit GTLP backplane interface; requires VTT = 1.5 V and VREF = 1 V for proper threshold setting. |
| 1DIR–4DIR | Direction Control Input (per segment) | Active-high: enables A→B data flow; low: enables B→A flow - noninverting transparent mode. |
| 1OE–4OE | Output Enable Input (per segment) | Active-low: disables both A and B ports to high-impedance state - supports isolated bus segments. |
| 1ERC–4ERC | Edge-Rate Control Input (per segment) | GND = slow edge (tr/tf ≈ 2/2.5 ns); VCC = fast edge (tr/tf ≈ 1.2/1.8 ns) - per-segment optimization. |
| 1BIAS VCC–4BIAS VCC | Backplane Precharge Supply (per segment) | 3.3-V supply for B-port I/O preconditioning - enables true live insertion without backplane disturbance. |
| 1VREF–4VREF | Differential Input Reference (per segment) | Set to 1 V for GTLP mode - defines B-port input switching threshold at VREF ±50 mV. |
| VCC, GND | Core Power and Ground | Distributed across package (24 VCC + 24 GND balls) - reduces IR drop and SSN in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TI-OPC Overshoot Control | Actively limits low-to-high transition overshoot on unterminated or slot-varying backplanes - maintains noise margin at >100 MHz. |
| OEC Signal Integrity Enhancement | Reduces electromagnetic interference and shortens bus settling time - validated across JEDEC-compliant backplane models. |
| Adjustable Edge-Rate Control (ERC) | Per-segment ERC input allows independent tuning of B-port rise/fall times to match local backplane loading - no board redesign needed. |
| Live-Insertion Circuitry | Ioff, power-up 3-state, and BIAS VCC collectively enable hot-swap capability without system reset or backplane glitching. |
| Integrated Bus-Hold on A Inputs | Holds floating LVTTL inputs at valid logic states - eliminates external pull resistors and associated board space and leakage risks. |
Applications
| Telecom Line Cards | Enterprise Router Backplanes |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Hot-swappable line cards in carrier-grade routers exchange packet data across shared GTLP backplanes while maintaining uptime. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR serves as the LVTTL-to-GTLP bridge between ASIC-based packet processors (LVTTL) and the high-speed backplane fabric (GTLP), managing direction, enable, and edge rate per 8-bit lane. Use Value: ERC adjustment allows tuning for varying slot counts and trace lengths; BIAS VCC prevents data corruption during card insertion/removal. |
Use Scenario: Multi-gigabit routing engines use distributed backplanes where signal integrity degrades with slot count and stub length. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR provides controlled-edge GTLP drivers with TI-OPC to suppress reflections from empty slots and mismatched terminations. Use Value: Measured tPLH/tPHL = 3.7 ns into RLC load ensures deterministic timing across 20-slot chassis without re-timing logic. |
| Industrial PLC Backplane Modules | High-Availability Server Midplanes |
Use Scenario: Programmable logic controller modules plug into ruggedized backplanes operating in extended temperature environments (–40°C to 85°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR translates field I/O processor LVTTL signals to GTLP for deterministic inter-module communication over 150-mm backplane traces. Use Value: Ioff < 10 µA and 5-V-tolerant A-port inputs ensure robustness against voltage transients and brownouts during field maintenance. |
Use Scenario: Dual-CPU server blades communicate via midplane using GTLP signaling to achieve >2 Gbps aggregate bandwidth with low skew. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR isolates CPU memory controllers (LVTTL) from shared GTLP address/data bus, with per-lane OE control for dynamic bandwidth allocation. Use Value: Distributed VCC/GND pins and 24-mA A-port drive maintain signal fidelity across 16-layer PCBs with tight power delivery constraints. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bus transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74GTLPH3295ZKFR | Same 32-bit GTLP transceiver but with latch-enabled (non-transparent) operation instead of DIR-controlled transparency. | Suitable for synchronous bus architectures requiring clocked data capture rather than asynchronous direction control. | Select when system timing requires registered data transfer and deterministic setup/hold margins over variable propagation delays. |
| SN74GTL16622DGGR | 16-bit GTLP transceiver in TSSOP-56; lacks ERC, BIAS VCC, and live-insertion features; lower drive (64 mA). | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-density backplanes without hot-swap requirements. | Choose only for legacy 16-bit designs or space-constrained boards where full 32-bit, live-insertion, and ERC capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74GTLPH3295ZKFR, the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR offers true transparent bidirectional flow essential for asynchronous backplane arbitration; compared with SN74GTL16622DGGR, it delivers double bandwidth, per-segment edge-rate tuning, and certified live-insertion - critical for carrier-class reliability.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR in a backplane system?
The SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR functions as a 32-bit bidirectional level-shifting bus transceiver that bridges LVTTL logic domains (e.g., ASICs, FPGAs) with GTLP-signaled backplanes. It enables high-speed, low-swing data transfer while supporting live insertion, adjustable edge rates, and distributed-load signal integrity - all critical for telecom and enterprise infrastructure equipment.
How does the ERC pin affect timing performance of the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR?
The ERC pin on the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR selects B-port output edge rates: ERC = GND yields slow edges (tr/tf ≈ 2/2.5 ns), reducing EMI on lightly loaded backplanes; ERC = VCC enables fast edges (tr/tf ≈ 1.2/1.8 ns), maximizing data rate on well-terminated, short-trace paths. This per-segment control allows system-level optimization without hardware changes.
Can the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR operate with GTL (not GTLP) signaling standards?
Yes, the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR supports both GTL (VTT = 1.2 V, VREF = 0.8 V) and GTLP (VTT = 1.5 V, VREF = 1 V) standards. Its AC specifications are guaranteed for GTLP, but DC parameters allow interoperability with GTL-compliant backplanes - confirmed by JESD 8-3 compliance and TI's dual-mode validation in SCES291D.
What design provisions does the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR include for live insertion?
The SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR integrates three live-insertion features: Ioff circuitry (<10 µA off-state current), power-up 3-state (outputs remain high-Z until VCC stabilizes), and BIAS VCC (precharges B-port I/O before VCC ramp). Together, they prevent backfeeding, bus conflicts, and signal disturbance during hot-swap events - verified per JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up testing.
Is bus-hold functionality available on both A-port and B-port inputs of the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR?
Bus-hold is implemented only on the A-port LVTTL inputs of the SN74GTLPH3245ZKFR, with minimum sustaining currents of ±75 µA. The B-port GTLP inputs do not include bus-hold; they require proper termination (RTT) and reference (VREF) to maintain valid logic states - as specified in the functional description and electrical characteristics tables of the official datasheet.
