Description
The BTK1A and BTM1A devices are dual differential
transceiver circuits that transmit and receive digital
data over balanced transmission lines and are
compatible with Agere Systems Inc. quad differential
drivers and receivers. The dual drivers translate input
TTL logic levels to differential pseudo-ECL output
levels. The dual receivers convert differential input
logic levels to TTL output levels. Each driver/receiver
pair has its own common enable control allowing
serial data and a control clock to be transmitted and
received on a single integrated circuit. The BTK1A
transceiver requires the customer to supply
termination resistors on the circuit board. The
BTM1A transceiver has an internal resistor
termination for both the driver outputs (220
Ω
) and
receiver inputs (110
Ω
), eliminating the need for
external resistors on the circuit board when used with
100
Ω
impedance, twisted-pair (or flat) cable. These
transceivers replace the Agere 41 Series
transceivers.
The powerdown loading characteristics of the
receiver input circuit are approximately 8 k
Ω
relative
to the power supplies; hence, they will not load the
transmission line when the circuit is powered down.
For those circuits with termination resistors, the line
will remain impedance matched when the circuit is
powered down. The driver does not load the line
when it is powered down.
The packaging options that are available for the
dual differential transceivers include a 16-pin DIP; a
16-pin, J-lead SOJ; a 16-pin, gull-wing SOIC; and a
16-pin, narrow-body, gull-wing SOIC.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Third State
These drivers produce pseudo-ECL levels, and the third-state mode is different than the conventional TTL devices.
When a driver is placed in the third state, the bases of the output transistors are pulled low, bringing the outputs
below the active-high and active-low levels. This voltage is typically 2 V for most drivers. In the bidirectional bus
application, the driver of one device, which is in its third state, may be back driven by another driver on the bus
whose voltage in the low state is lower than the third-stated device. This could come about due to differences in the
drivers’ independent power supplies. In this case, the device in the third state will control the line, thus clamping
the line and reducing the signal swing. If the difference voltage between the independent power supplies and the
drivers is small, then this consideration can be ignored. In the typical case, the difference voltage can be as much
as 1 V without significantly affecting the amplitude of the driving signal.

* The input levels and difference voltage provide zero noise immunity and should be tested only in a static, noise-free environment.
† Outputs of unused receivers assume a logic 1 level when the inputs are left open. (It is recommended that all unused positive inputs
be tied to the positive power supply. No external series resistor is required.)
