PI4GTL2034LEX

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The PI4GTL2034LEX is a 4-bit GTL/GTL+/GTL- to GTL/GTL+/GTL- bus buffer manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 3.6 V and features 3.6 V tolerant inputs and outputs. The device includes an adjustable Vref ranging from 0.5 V to VCC/2 and supports partial power-down modes. It provides ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM and latch-up protection exceeding 200 mA. Packaged in a TSSOP14, it facilitates signal buffering between different GTL logic families.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Functions as a 4-bit bus buffer compatible with GTL, GTL+, and GTL- logic standards
• Inputs and outputs are tolerant up to 3.6 V for use in higher voltage open-drain applications
• Supports partial power-down operation to reduce system power consumption
• Includes robust ESD and latch-up protection meeting JESD22 standards

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Buffering signals between GTL and GTL+ memory interfaces
• Level translation in systems mixing GTL, GTL+, and GTL- components
• High-speed data bus buffering in server and storage architectures

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'LEX' corresponds to the required package and reel configuration. Confirm that the Pb-free and Green status meets environmental compliance requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the TSSOP14 footprint matches your PCB design guidelines before finalizing procurement orders.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing circuits requiring 4-bit buffering between varying GTL voltage standards. Ensure the system supply voltage remains within the 2.3 V to 3.6 V operational range. Verify that the application requires 3.6 V tolerant I/O pins and that the TSSOP14 package fits the available board space constraints.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the Pericom PI4GTL20xx series of high-speed bus transceivers. These devices are designed to bridge different termination voltage levels common in legacy and modern memory subsystems. The LEX suffix indicates a tape-and-reel packaging format suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Consult official Diodes Incorporated documentation for verified cross-reference part numbers. Do not substitute with generic equivalents without verifying electrical compatibility and pinout alignment.
