ML6599* Hot-Insertable Active SCSI Terminator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6599 BiCMOS 9 line SCSI terminator provides active termination in SCSI systems using single ended drivers and receivers. Active SCSI termination helps to effectively control analog transmission line effects such as ringing, noise, crosstalk, and ground bounce. In addition, the ML6599 provides support for hot-insertability on the SCSI bus. The ML6599 provides a V-I characteristic optimized to minimize transmission line effects during both signal negation and assertion using a MOSFET-based architecture. The desired V-I characteristic is achieved by trimming one resistor in the control block.
