DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
■ SCSI PLUG AND PLAY, DUAL LOW
The LX5205 is an eighteen line active ter-
minator for the SCSI parallel bus. This SCSI
standard recommends active termination at
both ends of the SCSI bus.
During normal operation, the LX5205
consumes only 800µA of current which is
DISCONNECT, LOGIC LOW COMMAND
DISCONNECTS ALL TERMINATION LINES
the lowest enabled supply current of any
terminator available on the market today.
Linfinity's proprietary BiCMOS low dropout
regulator architecture enables this unique
and very efficient operating characteristic.
The LX5205 also offers a precisely
trimmed channel output current specified
to a 5% tolerance. The maximum value of
the output current is trimmed as closely as
possible to the SCSI standard maximum
specification to give the highest possible
noise margin for fast SCSI operation. And
finally, the LX5205 sinks up to 100mA of
current making it compatible with today's
fast active negation drivers.
■ 2.5pF OUTPUT CAPACITANCE DURING
DISCONNECT
During disconnect mode, the LX5205
requires a meager 500nA of supply current
while offering only 2.5pF of output capaci-
tance. To enter this low power mode, the
disconnect pins can be left open (floating)
or driven low thereby disconnecting the
terminating resistors and placing the internal
low dropout regulator into low power
mode. Indisconnectmodeeachtermination
line presents a high impedance to the SCSI
bus with the overall effect being to preserve
high signal integrity and subsequent reli-
able, error free communications. The
LX5205 has two disconnect pins for SCSI
Plug and Play (PnP) applications.
