description
The SN75LBC968 is a nine-channel transceiver
with active termination that drives and receives
the signals from the single-ended, parallel data
buses such as the Small Computer-Systems
9DE/RE
NC – No internal connection
Interface (SCSI) bus. The features of the line drivers, receivers, and active-termination circuits provide the
optimum signal-to-noise ratios for reliable data transmission. Integration of the termination and transceivers in
the LinBiCMOS process provides the necessary analog-circuit performance, has low quiescent power, and
reduces the capacitance presented to the bus over separate termination and I/O circuits.
The transceivers of the SN75LBC968 can be enabled to function as totem-pole or open-drain outputs. The
open-drain mode drives the wired-OR lines of SCSI (BSY, SEL, and RST) by inputting the data to the direction
control input DE/RE instead of the A input. When driving the data through the A input, the outputs become totem
poles and provide active signal negation for a higher voltage level on low-to-high signal transitions on heavily
loaded buses. In either mode, the turn-on and turn-off output transition times are limited to minimize crosstalk
through capacitive coupling to adjacent lines and RF emissions from the cable. The receivers are also designed
for optimum analog performance by precisely controlling the input-voltage thresholds, providing wide
input-voltage hysteresis and including an input-noise filter. These features significantly increase the likelihood
of detecting only the desired data signal and rejecting noise.
