ATed circuit, standard> (GTL) A standard for electrical signals in CMOS circuits used to 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 resistive terminATion of a GTL signal provides a clean 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 operATe AT high frequency and causes less {electromagnetic interference} (EMI). {GTL/BTL: A Low-Swing Solution for High-Speed Digital Logic (http://www.edtn.com/scribe/reference/appnotes/md003ecc.htm)}.
