【Product Promotion】 i-CORE AiPGTL Series Level Translators – Full-Scenario Coverage for High-Speed Bidirectional Level-Shifting Needs

【Introduction】
I-CORE has launched the AiPGTL series of high-speed bidirectional level-shifting chips, with a product line covering 2-channel and 4-channel GTL-to-LVTTL bidirectional transceivers as well as 2-channel, 8-channel, and 10-channel bidirectional low-voltage translators. Leveraging four core advantages – high speed, low power consumption, strong anti-interference, and high reliability – this series is well-suited for high-speed signal interconnection in advanced digital systems. It precisely fills the gap in domestic GTL level-shifting chips, providing a stable and reliable localized solution for various high-speed signal transmission applications.

【Application Advantages】

l High Compatibility and Adaptability – Fully compatible with mainstream level standards including GTL, GTL+, LVTTL, TTL, and CMOS, enabling seamless interfacing with CPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and various industrial control chips, and fitting into the vast majority of digital circuit designs.

l High Speed and Low Latency – Supports transmission rates up to hundreds of Mbps, fully meeting the high-speed communication demands of high-frequency data buses.

l Low-Power Architecture – Compared with traditional TTL/CMOS devices, both static and dynamic power consumption of this GTL series are significantly optimized, making it ideal for high-density, low-power embedded systems.

l Excellent Anti-Interference Capability – Leveraging the GTL low-swing core architecture, it effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference and signal crosstalk, ensuring stable high-frequency signal output even under complex operating conditions.

l Industrial-Grade High Reliability – The entire series operates stably across a wide temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C, with high-level ESD protection and latch-up immunity, capable of reliably handling various harsh industrial environments and ensuring long-term stable equipment operation.
