electronics, hardware, integrated circuit, standard (GTL) A
provide higher data transfer speeds with smaller voltage
swings [compared with what?].
The GTL signal swings between 0.4 volts and 1.2 volts with a
reference voltage of about 0.8 volts. Only a small deviation
of 0.4 volts (or thereabouts) from the reference voltage is
required to switch between on and off states. Therefore, a
GTL signal is said to be a low voltage swing logic signal.
Gunning Transceiver Logic has several advantages. The
signalling environment [what?]. Moreover, the low terminating
voltage of 1.2 volts results in reduced voltage drops across
the resistive elements. GTL has low power dissipation and can
