Overview: IMP5121 DATA MUNICATIONS 27-Line Plug and Play SCSI Terminator
The 27-channel IMP5121 SCSI terminator is part of IMP's family of highperformance SCSI terminators that deliver true UltraSCSI performance. The BiCMOS design offers superior performance over first generation linear regulator/resistor based terminators.
IMP's new architecture employs high-speed adaptive elements for each channel, thereby providing the fastest response possible - typically 35MHz, which is 100 times faster than the older linear regulator terminator approach. The bandwidth of terminators based on the older regulator/resistor terminator architecture is limited to 500kHz since a large output stabilization capacitor is required. The IMP architecture eliminates the external output pensation capacitor and the need for transient output capacitors while maintaining pin patibility with first generation designs. Reduced ponent count is inherent with the IMP5121.
