Octal latched bidirectional Futurebus transceivers
(3-State + open-collector)
74F8960/74F8961
FEATURES
•
Octal latched transceiver
•
Drives heavily loaded backplanes with
equivalent load impedances down to 10Ω
DESCRIPTION
The 74F8960 and 74F8961 are octal
bidirectional latched transceivers and are
intended to provide the electrical interface to
a high performance wired–OR bus. The B
port inverting drivers are low–capacitance
open collector with controlled ramp and are
designed to sink 100mA from 2 volts. The B
port inverting receivers have a 100 mV
threshold region and a 4ns glitch filter.
The B port interfaces to ‘Backplane
Transceiver Logic’ (BTL). BTL features a
reduced (1V to 2V) voltage swing for lower
power consumption and a series diode on
the drivers to reduce capacitive loading.
Incident switching is employed, therefore BTL
propagation delays are short. Although the
voltage swing is much less for BTL, so is its
receiver threshold region, therefore noise
margins are excellent.
BTL offers low power consumption, low
ground bounce, EMI and crosstalk, low
capacitive loading, superior noise margin and
low propagation delays. This results in a high
bandwidth, reliable backplane.
The 74F8960 and 74F8961 A ports have TTL
3–state drivers and TTL receivers with a latch
function. A separate High–level control input
(VX) is provided to limit the A side output
level to a given voltage level (such as 3.3V).
For 5.0V systems, VX is simply tied to VCC.
The 74F8961 is the non–inverting version of
74F8960.
•
High drive (100mA) open collector drivers
on B port
•
Reduced voltage swing (1 volt) produces
less noise and reduces power consumption
•

performance of backplane buses and
facilitates incident wave switching
•
Compatible with IEEE futurebus standards
•
Built-in precision band-gap reference
provides accurate receiver thresholds and
improved noise immunity
•
Controlled output ramp and multiple GND
pins minimize ground bounce
•
Glitch-free power up/down operation

OPERATING MODE
Preconditioned latch enabling data transfer from B to A
High–voltage level
Low–voltage level
Don’t care
Input not externally driven
High impedance (off) state
High or low voltage level one setup time prior to the low–to–high LE transition.
Condition will cause a feedback loop path: A to B and B to A.
The latch must be preconmditioned such that B inputs may assume a high or low level while OEB0 and OEB1 are low and LE is high.
Goes to level of pullup voltage.
Precaution should be taken to insure the B inputs do not float. If they do they are equal to low state.
