ML65F16245*
16-Bit Bidirectional Transceiver with 3-State Outputs
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML65F16245 is a BiCMOS, non-inverting 16-bit
transceiver with 3-state outputs. This device was
specifically designed for high speed bus applications. Its
16 channels support propagation delay of 2ns maximum,
and fast output enable and disable times of 5ns or less to
minimize datapath delay.
This device is designed to minimize undershoot,
overshoot, and ground bounce to decrease noise delays.
These transceivers implement a unique digital and analog
implementation to eliminate the delays and noise
inherent in traditional digital designs. The device offers a
new method for quickly charging up a bus load capacitor
to minimize bus settling times, or FastBus™ Charge.
FastBus Charge is a transition current, (specified as
IDYNAMIC) that injects between 60 to 200mA (depending
on output load) of current during the rise time and fall
time. This current is used to reduce the amount of time it
takes to charge up a heavily-capacitive loaded bus,
effectively reducing the bus settling times, and
improving data/clock margins in tight timing budgets.
Micro Linear’s solution is intended for applications for
critical bus timing designs that include minimizing
device propagation delay, bus settling time, and time
delays due to noise. Applications include; high speed
memory arrays, bus or backplane isolation, bus to bus
bridging, and sub-2ns propagation delay schemes.
The ML65F16245 follows the pinout and functionality of
the industry standard 2.7V to 3.6V-logic families.

ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
The ML65F16245 is a 16-bit (dual-octal) non-inverting bus
transceiver with 3-state outputs designed for 2.7V to 3.6V
VCC operation. This device is designed for asynchronous
communication between data buses. The ML65F16245
can be used as two 8-bit transceivers or as one 16-bit
transceiver and can be designated as Port-A bus and Port-B
bus. The Direction and Output Enable controls are
designed to operate these configurations. The direction
control pin (iDIR) controls the direction of the data flow.
The output enable pin (1OE, 2OE) overrides the direction
control and disables both ports.
Until now, these transceivers were typically implemented
in CMOS logic and made to be TTL compatible by sizing
the input devices appropriately. In order to buffer large
capacitances with CMOS logic, it is necessary to cascade
an even number of inverters, each successive inverter
larger than the preceding, eventually leading to an
inverter that will drive the required load capacitance at
the required frequency. Each inverter stage represents an
additional delay in the gating process because in order for
a single gate to switch, the input must slew more than
half of the supply voltage. The best of these 16-bit CMOS
buffers has managed to drive 50pF load capacitance with
a delay of 3ns.
Micro Linear has produced a 16-bit transceiver with a
delay less than 2ns (at 3.3V) by using a unique circuit
architecture that does not require cascade logic gates.
The basic architecture of the ML65F16245 is shown in
Figure 6. In this circuit, there are two paths to the output.
One path sources current to the load capacitance where
the signal is asserted, and the other path sinks current
from the output when the signal is negated.
The assertion path is the Darlington pair consisting of
transistors Q1 and Q2. The effect of transistor Q1 is to
increase the current gain through the stage from input to
output, to increase the input resistance and to reduce
input capacitance. During the transition state (the input
from low-to-high) the output transistor Q2 sources large
amount of current to quickly charge up a highly
capacitive load which in effect reduces the bus settling
time. This current is specified as IDYNAMIC.
The negation path is also the Darlington pair consisting of
transistor Q3 and transistor Q4. With M1 connecting to
the input of the Darlington pair, Transistor Q4 then sinks a
large amount of current during the input transition from
high-to-low.
Inverter X2 is a helpful buffer that not only drives the
output toward the upper rail but also pulls the output to
the lower rail.
There are a number of MOSFETs not shown in Figure 6.
These MOSFETs are used to 3-state the buffers.
