Abstract
Isolation components such as p-n junction or Schottky diodes are provided at pull-up resistors of each signal line of a Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) backplane bus in an electronic system for improved reliability, specifically to prevent momentary termination of the bus to ground when a circuit card incorporating the pull-up resistors is inserted into the system.
