GTL2107PW,118

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The GTL2107 is a customized translator designed for dual Xeon processors, facilitating communication between GTL/GTL+/GTL- I/O and Platform Health Management, South Bridge, and Power Supply systems. It operates as a GTL to LVTTL sampling receiver or LVTTL to GTL driver within a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range. The device features EN1 and EN2 enable controls, series termination on LVTTL outputs, and robust ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM. It supports GTL-, GTL, and GTL+ voltage levels.

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant against the ordering information table in the official datasheet. Confirm that the application environment strictly adheres to the recommended operating conditions, particularly the 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply voltage range. Ensure that input signals do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings defined in the limiting values section to prevent permanent damage to the device.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing GTL-based processors with LVTTL peripherals in server architectures. Verify compatibility with the specific GTL variant (GTL-, GTL, or GTL+) required by the system design. Ensure the design accommodates the open-drain nature of certain LVTTL ports and the push-pull configuration of others. Check that the TSSOP28 package fits the available PCB footprint constraints.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

The GTL2107 serves as a specialized level translator within NXP's portfolio for high-performance computing systems. It bridges the gap between Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) standards used by processors and Low Voltage Transistor-Transistor Logic (LVTTL) used by system management components. This facilitates reliable data transfer in complex server environments requiring multiple logic voltage domains.
