GTL2003PW – NXP

Overview

The NXP GTL2003PW is a high-performance GTL/GTL+ to LVTTL/TTL voltage level translator designed for seamless interoperability between disparate logic families. Its primary function is to facilitate signal integrity by accurately translating logic levels, crucial for systems employing both older GTL interfaces and modern LVTTL standards. A critical design consideration when implementing such translators is managing propagation delay; while the GTL2003PW offers a respectable 1.5 ns delay, designers must carefully account for this in high-speed clocking or timing-sensitive data paths to avoid setup/hold time violations.

Key Features
