VME01 16-Bit TTL Compatible Data Transceiver with Incident Wave Switching

VME01 16-Bit TTL Compatible Data Transceiver
with Incident Wave Switching
General Description
The VME01 contains sixteen non-inverting bidirectional
buffers with TRI-STATEÉoutputs designed with incident
wave switching, live insertion support and enhanced noise
margin for TTL backplane applications.
AV
CC bias pin provides for the precharging of the A side
outputs during live insertion. When set at 5.0V, this pin will
establish a voltage of 1.5V on the A port before VCC is
connected. This precharge will minimize the capacitive dis-
charge, and associated discontinuity, onto the active back-
plane during board insertion.
The B port includes a bus hold circuit to latch the output to
the value last forced on that pin.
The B port of this device includes 25Xseries output resis-
tors, which minimize undershoot and ringing.

Functional Description
The device uses byte-wide Direction (DIR) control and a
singular Output Enable (OE) control. The DIR inputs deter-
mine the direction of data flow through the device. The OE
input disables both the A and the B ports, effectively isolat-
ing both buses.
The part contains active circuitry which keeps all outputs
disabled when VCC is less than 2.2V to aid in live insertion
applications.

ETL’s Improved Noise Immunity
TTL input thresholds are typically determined by temperature-dependent junction voltages which result in worst case input
thresholds between 0.8V and 2.0V. By contrast, ETL provides greater noise immunity because its input thresholds are deter-
mined by current mode input circuits similar to those used for ECL or BTL. ETL’s worst case input thresholds, between 1.4V and
1.6V, are compensated for temperature, voltage and process variations.

Incident Wave Switching
When TTL logic is used to drive fully loaded backplanes, the combination of low backplane bus characteristic impedance, wide
TTL input threshold range and limited TTL drive generally require multiple waveform reflections before a valid signal can be
received across the backplane. The VME International Trade Association (VITA) defined ETL to provide incident wave switching
which increases the data transfer rate of a VME backplane and extends the life of VME applications. TTL compatibility with
existing VME backplanes and modules was maintained. To demonstrate the incident wave switching capability, consider a VME
application. A VME bus must be terminated to a2.94V with 190Xat each end of its 21 card backplane. The surge impedance
presented by a fully loaded VME backplane is approximately 25X. If the output voltage/current of an ABTC driver is plotted with
this load, the intersection at 1.2V for a falling edge and at 1.6V for a rising edge does not reach the worst case input threshold of
a second ABTC circuit. This is shown in the two figures below. However, an ETL driver located at one end of the backplane is
able to provide incident wave switching because it has a higher drive and a tighter input threshold.
Estimated ETL/ABTC Initial Falling Edge Step
TL/F/116249
Estimated ETL/ABTC Initial Rising Edge Step
TL/F/1162411
Because ETL has a much more precise input threshold region, an ETL receiver will interpret its predicted falling input of 0.85V as
a logic ZERO and the initial rising edge of 1.9V as a logic ONE. This comparison is for the case of a 25Xsurge impedance
backplane driven from one end.

Incident Wave Switching (Continued)
The resulting ABTC and ETL waveform predictions and their input thresholds are compared below. This shows how ETL can
achieve backplane speeds not always possible with conventional TTL compatible logic families.

Live Insertion Module Replacement
To allow a system module to be replaced without disturbing
signals passing between other operating modules requires
careful design of operating systems, applications software
and hardware. ETL supports live insertion module replace-
ment with features that minimize backplane signal distur-
bance while a module is inserted. As specified by VITA, live
insertion requires several backward-compatible system en-
hancements including: an improved backplane connector
with an embedded ground plane and differential length con-
nector pins. The differential length connector pins allow
power sequencing to the module so that the signal pins can
be controlled to a biased high impedance before they make
contact with the backplane.
VITA’s ETL modules will use an early VCC power input,
called VCC Bias, to control the ETL transceivers to a high
impedance to minimize insertion disturbance. In addition,
VCC Bias is used to precharge the backplane driver output
capacitance including the module connector pin and mod-
ule etch. The precharge voltage is to 1.5V using a switched
40 kXresistor. This precharge will minimize the capacitive
discharge onto an active backplane as the signal connec-
tion is made. To allow designers to maintain this condition
until after a module is fully powered and initialized, the OE
pin can be used to maintain outputs in the high impedance,
precharged state. Contact bounce during live insertion will
charge each output pin to a logic ONE or ZERO. If the con-
tact bounces open, the 40 kXresistor will reestablish the
1.5V level in a few microseconds.
When applying power to a printed circuit board containing
ETL transceivers, the system VCC can be connected to
VCC Bias without damage to the device.
If the advantages of Live Insertion are to be included in the
system, then VCC Bias should be allowed to reach normal
operating levels before VCC becomes higher than 2.2 volts.
In addition, when removing a module, or turning off system
power, VCC should be reduced below 2.2 volts before
VCC Bias is allowed to drop below normal operating limits.
This sequencing is shown below.
The figure VCC Power-up Critical Voltages shows the rela-
tionship between VCC and OE while power is being applied
and removed. This relationship holds if VCC Bias is within
normal operating conditions or if VCC Bias is equal to VCC.
