General Description

The GTLP6C816A is a clock driver that provides LVTTL to GTLP signal level translation (and vice versa). The device provides a high speed interface between cards operating at LVTTL logic levels and a backplane operating at GTL(P) logic levels. High speed backplane operation is a direct result of GTL(P)’s reduced output swing (
