DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES

The LX5115A SCSI terminator is part of Linfinity's
UltraMAX family of high-performance, adaptive,
non-linear mode SCSI products, which are de­signed to deliver true UltraSCSI performance in
SCSI applications. The low voltage BiCMOS ar­chitecture employed in its design offers superior
performance to older linear passive and active
techniques. Linfinity's UltraMAX architecture
employs high-speed adaptive elements for each
channel, thereby providing the fastest response
possible — typically 35MHz, which is 100 times
faster than the older linear regulator/terminator
approach used by other manufacturers. Products
using this older linear regulator approach have
bandwidths which are dominated by the output
capacitor and which are limited to 500KHz (see
further discussion in the Functional Description
section). The UltraMAX architecture also eliminates
the output compensation capacitor typical in earlier
terminator designs. Each is approved for use with
SCSI-1, -2, -3, UltraSCSI and beyond — providing
the highest performance alternative available to­day.

Another key improvement offered by the
LX5115A lies in its ability to insure reliable, error­free communications even in systems which do
not adhere to recommended SCSI hardware design
guidelines, such as the use of improper cable

lengths and impedances. Frequently, this situation
is not controlled by the peripheral or host designer
and, when problems occur, they are the first to
be made aware of the problem. The LX5115A
architecture is much more tolerant of marginal
system integrations.

Recognizing the needs of portable and
configurable peripherals, the LX5115A has a TTL
compatible sleep/disable mode. Quiescent
current is typically 200µA in this mode, while the
output capacitance is also less than 3pF. The
obvious advantage of extended battery life for
portable systems is inherent in the product's sleep­mode feature. Additionally, the disable function
permits factory-floor or production-line
configurability, reducing inventory and product­line diversity costs. Field configurability can also
be accomplished without physically removing
components which, often times results in field
returns due to mishandling.

Reduced component counts is also inherent in
the LX5115A architecture. Traditional termination
techniques require large stabilization and transient
protection capacitors of up to 20µF in value and
size. The LX5115A architecture does not require
these components, allowing all the cost savings
associated with inventory, board space, assembly,
reliability, and component costs.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Cable transmission theory suggests to optimize signal speed
and quality, the termination should act both as an ideal voltage
reference when the line is released (deasserted) and as an
ideal current source when the line is active (asserted). Common
active terminators, which consist of
Linear Regulators in series with resis­tors (typically 110Ω), are a compro­mise. As the line voltage increases,
the amount of current decreases lin­early by the equation V = I * R. The
LX5115A, with its unique new archi­tecture applies the maximum amount
of current regardless of line voltage

until the termination high threshold
(2.85V) is reached.

Acting as a near ideal line terminator, the LX5115A closely
reproduces the optimum case when the device is enabled.
To enable the device the Disable Pin must be pulled Logic
High or left open. During this mode of operation, quiescent
current is 5.5mA and the device will respond to line demands

by delivering 24mA on assertion and by imposing 2.85V on
deassertion. In order to disable the device, the Disable pin
must be driven logic Low. This mode of operation places
the device in a sleep state where a meager 200µA of quiescent

current is consumed. Additionally, all
outputs are in a Hi-Z (impedance)
state. Sleep mode can be used for

Quiescent

power conservation or to completely
eliminate the terminator from the SCSI
chain. In the second case, termination
node capacitance is important to
consider. The terminator will appear
as a parasitic distributed capacitance
on the line, which can detract from bus

performance. For this reason, the
LX5115A has been optimized to have only 3pF of capacitance
per output in the sleep state.

An additional feature of the LX5115A is its compatibility with
active negation drivers. The device handles up to 7mA of sink
current for drivers which exceed the 2.85V output high.
