Diodes Introduces Voltage-potential Converters for Non-directional Flexibility Between Networks and Servers
Diodes, Inc. (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announced a new line of low-voltage potentiometric converters that enable simple, autonomous bi-directional operation. The PI4GTL2002 is a 2-bit potential converter designed to convert a signal used to regulate a voltage potential to a higher or lower voltage signal, such as converting a Transceiver Transceiver Logic (GTL) or GTL+ to LVTTL/ TTL. As the trend of top processor manufacturers adding GTL+ interfaces to their products continues to rise, the demand for high-performance potential converters in server/data center and network applications is increasing. PI4GTL2002 not only meets this need, but also brings the advantage of not requiring control.
The open-drain design of the PI4GTL2002 means that the device can convert voltage potentials from any direction without increasing the design complexity of the dedicated directional control signals, without sacrificing performance. The device is operatively unrestricted and can be converted between 0.8V and 5V (CMOS) with a propagation delay between input and output of no more than 1.5ns. As a result, PI4GTL2002 supports a variety of use cases, including standard mode and fast mode I2C interfaces.
In the design of this product, the NMOS-based transfer transistor will achieve bidirectional operation through the common gate, and provide a reference voltage for the two signals. This allows the design team to apply different voltages across the device, allowing the device to convert between signals between 0.8V and 5V.
PI4GTL2002 uses a straight-through design that is easy to arrange, which simplifies PCB configuration. The device's low input and output capacitors keep the transmission delay very low, and the 3.5Ω on-resistance minimizes signal distortion.
PI4GTL2002UEX is available in U-QFN package, while PI4GTL2002 & GTL2002GM+125 are available in W-QFN (PI4GTL2002WEX) and XT-QFN (PI4GTL2002XTEX) packages.
