Description
The BTK1A, BTL1A, and BTM1A devices are dual
differential transceiver circuits that transmit and
receive digital data over balanced transmission lines
and are compatible with Lucent Technologies Micro-
electronics Group quad differential drivers and
receivers. The dual drivers translate input TTL logic
levels to differential pseudo-ECL output levels. The
dual receivers convert differential input logic levels to
TTL output levels. Each driver/receiver pair has its
own common enable control allowing serial data and
a control clock to be transmitted and received on a
single integrated circuit. The BTK1A transceiver
requires the customer to supply termination resistors
on the circuit board. The BTL1A transceiver has an
internal 220
Ω
termination resistor connected to
ground on each driver output and is equivalent to the
8923A device. The BTM1A transceiver has an inter-
nal resistor termination for both the driver outputs
(220
Ω)
and receiver inputs (110
Ω),
eliminating the
need for external resistors on the circuit board when
used with 100
Ω
impedance, twisted-pair (or flat)
cable. These transceivers replace the Lucent 41
Series transceivers.
The powerdown loading characteristics of the
receiver input circuit are approximately 8 kΩ relative
to the power supplies; hence, they will not load the
transmission line when the circuit is powered down.
For those circuits with termination resistors, the line
will remain impedance matched when the circuit is
powered down. The driver does not load the line
when it is powered down.
The packaging options that are available for the
dual differential transceivers include a 16-pin DIP; a
16-pin, J-lead SOJ; a 16-pin, gull-wing SOIC; and a
16-pin, narrow-body, gull-wing SOIC.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Third State
These drivers produce pseudo-ECL levels, and the third-state mode is different than the conventional TTL devices.
When a driver is placed in the third state, the bases of the output transistors are pulled low, bringing the outputs
below the active-high and active-low levels. This voltage is typically 2 V for most drivers. In the bidirectional bus
application, the driver of one device, which is in its third state, may be back driven by another driver on the bus
whose voltage in the low state is lower than the third-stated device. This could come about due to differences in the
drivers’ independent power supplies. In this case, the device in the third state will control the line, thus clamping the
line and reducing the signal swing. If the difference voltage between the independent power supplies and the
drivers is small, then this consideration can be ignored. In the typical case, the difference voltage can be as much
as 1 V without significantly affecting the amplitude of the driving signal.

* The input levels and difference voltage provide zero noise immunity and should be tested only in a static, noise-free environment.
† Outputs of unused receivers assume a logic 1 level when the inputs are left open. (It is recommended that all unused positive inputs
be tied to the positive power supply. No external series resistor is required.)
