Key Features
9-Line Multimode LVD/SE
SCSI Terminator
ꢀ Auto-selectable LVD or single-ended termination
ꢀ 3.0pF maximum disabled output capacitance
ꢀ Fast response, no external capacitors required
ꢀ Compatible with active negation drivers
ꢀ 15µA supply current in disconnect mode
ꢀ Logic command disconnects all termination lines
ꢀ DIFFSENSE line driver
The IMP5241/42/43 is a multimode SCSI terminator that conforms to the
SCSI Parallel Interconnect-2 (SPI-2) specification developed by the T10
standards committee for low voltage differential (LVD) termination,
while providing backwards compatibility to the SCSI, SCSI-2, and SPI
single-ended specifications. Multimode compatibility permits the use of
legacy devices on the bus without hardware alterations. Automatic mode
selection is achieved through voltage detection on the diffsense line.
ꢀ Ground driver integrated for single-ended
The IMP5241/42/43 delivers the ultimate in SCSI bus performance while
saving component cost and board area. Elimination of the external capac-
itors also mitigates the need for a lengthy capacitor selection process. The
individual high bandwidth drivers also maximize channel separation
and reduce channel to channel noise and cross talk. The high bandwidth
architecture insures ULTRA2 performance while providing a clear migra-
tion path to ULTRA3 and beyond.
