description
The TL2217-285 is a low-dropout (1 V) fixed-
voltage regulator specifically designed for small
computer systems interface (SCSI) alternative 2
active signal termination. The TL2217-285 1-V
maximum dropout ensures compatibility with
existing SCSI systems, while providing a wide
TERMPWR voltage range. At the same time, the
±1.5%initial tolerance on its 2.85-V outputvoltage
ensures a tighter line-driver current tolerance,
thereby increasing system noise margin.

The fixed 2.85-V output voltage of TL2217-285
supports the SCSI alternative 2 termination
standard, while reducing system power
consumption. The 1-V maximum dropout voltage
brings increased TERMPWR isolation, making
thedeviceidealforbattery-poweredsystems. The
TL2217-285, with internal current limiting,
overvoltage protection, ESD protection, and
thermal protection, offers designers enhanced
system protection and reliability.

When configured as a SCSI active terminator, the TL2217-285 low-dropout regulator eliminates the 220-Ω and
330-Ω resistors required for each transmission line with a passive termination scheme, reducing significantly
the continuous system-power drain. When placed in series with 110-Ω resistors, the device matches the
impedance level of the transmission cable and eliminates reflections.
The TL2217-285 is characterized for operation over the virtual junction temperature range of 0°C to 125°C.
