ML6509* Active SCSI Terminator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6509 BiCMOS SCSI terminator provides active termination in a SCSI system with single ended drivers and receivers, in full compliance with the SCSI-1, SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 recommendations. It provides a 2.85V reference through an internal 1V dropout linear regulator. Active SCSI termination helps the system designer to effectively control analog transmission line effects like ringing, noise, crosstalk, ground bounce, etc. In addition it provides greater immunity to voltage drops on the TERMPWR line of the SCSI bus. The desired V-I characteristics for signal negation requires that the terminator source 0–24mA while maintaining 2.85V and for signal assertion preferably follow a linear slope of 110W .
