GTL2010PW

• Product Introduction

Shot Transceiver Logic - Transceiver Voltage Clamping (GTL-TVC) provides high-speed voltage conversion with low on-state resistance and minimal transmission delay. GTL2010 provides 10 NMOS transistors (Sn and Dn) with common gates (GREF) and one reference transistor (SREF and DREF). The device allows bidirectional voltage conversion between 1.0 V and 5.0 V without the use of directional pins.

When the Sn or Dn ports are low, the clamp is in the ON state and there is a low-resistance connection between the Sn and Dn ports. Assuming a higher voltage on the Dn port, when the Dn port is high, the voltage on the Sn port is limited to the voltage set by the reference transistor (SREF). When the Sn port is high, the pull-up resistor pulls the Dn port up to VCC. This feature allows for seamless conversion between higher and lower voltages selected by the user without the need for directional control.

All transistors have the same electrical characteristics, with minimal deviation in voltage or transmission delay between outputs. Since transistors are manufactured symmetrically, this is beneficial for discrete transistor voltage conversion solutions. Because all transistors in the device are identical, SREFs and DREFs can be found on any other ten matching Sn/Dn transistors, allowing for more convenient board layouts. The transistors of the converters provide excellent ESD protection for low-voltage devices and low-ESD-resistant devices at the same time.
