7-Bit Transceiver

The B-port interfaces to “Backplane Transceiver Logic” (See the

IEEE 1194.1 BTL standard). BTL features low power consumption

by reducing voltage swing (1Vp-p, between 1V and 2V) and reduced

capacitive loading by placing an internal series diode on the drivers.

BTL also provides incident wave switching, a necessity for high

performance backplanes.

There are three separate pairs of driver enables in a 1 bit, 3 bit, 3 bit

arrangement. The TTL/BTL output drivers for bit 0 are enabled with

OEA1/OEB1, output drivers for bits 1–2–3 are enabled with

OEA2/OEB2 and output drivers for bits 4–5–6 are enabled with

OEA3/OEB3.

The A-port operates at TTL levels with separate I/O. The 3-state

A-port drivers are enabled when OEAn goes High after an extra 6ns

delay which is built in to provide a break-before-make function.

When OEAn goes Low, A-port drivers become High impedance

without any extra delay. During power on/off cycles, the A-port

The B-port has an output enable, OEB0, which affects all seven

drivers. When OEB0 is High and OEBn is Low the output driver will

be enabled. When OEB0 is Low or if OEBn is High, the B-port

drivers will be inactive and at the level of the backplane signal.

To support live insertion, OEB0 is held Low during power on/off

cycles to insure glitch free B port drivers. Proper bias for B port

drivers during live insertion is provided by the BIAS V pin when at a

The LOGIC GND and BUS GND pins are isolated in the package to

minimize noise coupling between the BTL and TTL sides. These

pins should be tied to a common ground external to the package.

Each BTL driver has an associated BUS GND pin that acts as a

signal return path and these BUS GND pins are internally isolated

from each other. In the event of a ground return fault, a “hard” signal

failure occurs instead of a pattern dependent error that may be very

infrequent and impossible to trouble-shoot.

minimize noise and may be externally decoupled separately or

simply tied together.

JTAG boundary scan functionality is provided as an option with

signals TMS, TCK, TDI and TDO. When this option is not present,

TMS and TCK are no-connects (no bond wires) and TDI and TDO

are shorted together internally.
