ABSTRACT
Philips Semiconductors Gunning Transceiver Logic Translator Voltage Clamp (GTL-TVC)
bi-directional low voltage translators are used in bi-directional signaling voltage level translation
applications. Voltage translation can be from any voltage between 1.0 V to 5.0 V to any voltage
between 1.0 V to 5.0 V without need for directional control. Device operation, resistor sizing and
typical applications are discussed in this application note.
