Universal Bus Functions Procurement Notes

Verify the exact pinout and electrical specifications against the official Fairchild Semiconductor datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 3.15V to 3.45V supply voltage range aligns with your system design. Ensure the 56-SSOP package dimensions fit your PCB layout constraints. Check for end-of-life status or alternative sourcing options as availability may vary.

Universal Bus Functions Selection Notes

Select this component when designing interfaces between LVTTL and GTLP domains. The 18-bit width reduces component count compared to smaller bit-width alternatives. Verify that the 24mA/50mA output drive capabilities meet the load requirements of your specific application circuit. Consider the thermal performance within the -40°C to 85°C range for your environment.

Universal Bus Functions Part Context

This part belongs to Fairchild's GTLP family, which includes various buffers, drivers, and transceivers. These components are often paired with LVDS devices for comprehensive backplane solutions. The GTLP standard offers improved performance over older TTL families while maintaining compatibility with existing designs.

Universal Bus Functions Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the GTLP18T612MEAX variant. Verify functional compatibility with other 18-bit universal bus transceivers from different manufacturers if sourcing original parts is difficult.
