GTLP18T612MTDX

Universal Bus Functions Overview

The GTLP18T612MTDX is an 18-bit universal bus transceiver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It provides signal level translation between LVTTL and GTLP standards, supporting transparent, latched, and clocked data transfer modes. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and features a data rate of 380Mbps. It utilizes a 56-TFSOP package with a width of 6.10mm. Output characteristics include tri-state, non-inverted signals with drive currents of 24mA for both high and low states.

Universal Bus Functions Feature Summary

• Provides bidirectional data transfer with LVTTL to GTLP signal level translation capabilities
• Supports multiple operational modes including transparent, latched, and clocked configurations
• Features tri-state outputs with non-inverted logic for flexible system integration

Universal Bus Functions Applications

• Universal bus interface systems requiring voltage level conversion
• High-speed data transmission links utilizing GTLP signaling standards
• System architectures needing configurable latch or clocked data paths

Universal Bus Functions Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'X' against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm availability status, as some variants may be discontinued. Ensure the 56-TFSOP package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C meets environmental requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest production batch specifications.

Universal Bus Functions Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18-bit wide bus interface is required with mixed LVTTL and GTLP domains. The choice depends on the need for simultaneous transparent and latched operations within a single IC. Consider the 380Mbps data rate capability relative to system timing constraints. Evaluate the 56-pin package density against available board space and thermal dissipation needs.

Universal Bus Functions Part Context

This part belongs to the 74GTLP series of universal bus transceivers from Fairchild Semiconductor. It serves as a bridge between different logic families, specifically enabling communication between Low Voltage Transistor-Transistor Logic and Grounded Termination Logic Plus environments.
