Product data sheet
1. General description
The Gunning Transceiver Logic - Transceiver Voltage Clamps (GTL-TVC) provide
high-speed voltage translation with low ON-state resistance and minimal propagation
delay. The GTL2002 provides 2 NMOS pass transistors (Sn and Dn) with a common gate
(GREF) and a reference transistor (SREF and DREF). The device allows bidirectional
voltage translations between 1.0 V and 5.0 V without use of a direction pin.
When the Sn or Dn port is LOW the clamp is in the ON-state and a low resistance
connection exists between the Sn and Dn ports. Assuming the higher voltage is on the Dn
port, when the Dn port is HIGH, the voltage on the Sn port is limited to the voltage set by
the reference transistor (SREF). When the Sn port is HIGH, the Dn port is pulled to V
CC
by
the pull-up resistors. This functionality allows a seamless translation between higher and
lower voltages selected by the user, without the need for directional control.
All transistors have the same electrical characteristics and there is minimal deviation from
one output to another in voltage or propagation delay. This is a benefit over discrete
transistor voltage translation solutions, since the fabrication of the transistors is
symmetrical. Because all transistors in the device are identical, SREF and DREF can be
located on any of the other two matched Sn/Dn transistors, allowing for easier board
layout. The translator's transistors provide excellent ESD protection to lower voltage
devices and at the same time protect less ESD-resistant devices.

8. Application design-in information
8.1 Bidirectional translation
For the bidirectional clamping configuration, higher voltage to lower voltage or lower
voltage to higher voltage, the GREF input must be connected to DREF and both pins
pulled to HIGH side V
CC
through a pull-up resistor (typically 200 k). A filter capacitor on
DREF is recommended. The processor output can be totem pole or open-drain (pull-up
resistors may be required) and the chip set output can be totem pole or open-drain
(pull-up resistors are required to pull the Dn outputs to V
CC
). However, if either output is
totem pole, data must be unidirectional or the outputs must be 3-stateable and the outputs
must be controlled by some direction control mechanism to prevent HIGH-to-LOW
contentions in either direction. If both outputs are open-drain, no direction control is
needed. The opposite side of the reference transistor (SREF) is connected to the
processor core power supply voltage. When DREF is connected through a 200 k
resistor to a 3.3 V to 5.5 V V
CC
supply and SREF is set between 1.0 V to (V
CC
1.5 V),
the output of each Sn has a maximum output voltage equal to SREF and the output of
each Dn has a maximum output voltage equal to V
CC
.
