GTLP1B153K8X

Overview

The GTLP1B153K8X is a high-speed, low-voltage translator and transceiver IC manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It functions as a single-bit LVTTL/GTLP driver/receiver pair designed for bus and backplane applications. This component supports data transmission in high-speed computing, networking, and telecom environments. The device utilizes Gunning Transceiver Logic Plus (GTLP) technology to provide low power consumption, moderate drive capability, and controlled output edge rates. It serves as an interface solution for systems requiring reliable signal translation between different logic families.

Feature Summary

• Implements Gunning Transceiver Logic Plus (GTLP) technology for optimized bus and backplane performance
• Provides low power consumption suitable for high-density electronic designs
• Features controlled output edge rates to minimize signal integrity issues
• Functions as a single-bit translator between LVTTL and GTLP logic levels

Applications

• High-speed computing system buses
• Telecommunications backplanes
• Networking equipment interfaces
• Data transmission modules requiring level shifting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix K8X against official documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm current production status as Fairchild Semiconductor products may be discontinued or obsolete. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and voltage requirements before procurement. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-bit interface between LVTTL and GTLP domains is required. Consider its low power characteristics for energy-efficient designs. Evaluate its suitability for backplane applications where edge rate control is critical. Compare against other GTLP devices if multiple bits are needed. Verify operating temperature ranges match the intended environment.

Part Context

Fairchild Semiconductor developed GTLP as a derivative of Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL). The GTLP family addresses the need for low power and moderate drive in high-speed interfaces. The GTLP1B153K8X belongs to this family, offering a specific single-bit solution. Fairchild Semiconductor was a major semiconductor manufacturer based in San Jose, California, founded in 1957.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the GTLP1B series from Fairchild or onsemi. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters for any alternative parts. Note that some Fairchild products may be marked as obsolete or not in production.
