  Gunning Transceiver Logic
  GTL
  
     <electronics, hardware, integrated 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).
