The LX5122 Plug and Play UltraMAXTM terminator represents next-generation technology for SCSI termination applications. The
low-voltage BiCMOS architecture employed
in its design offers superior performance to
older passive and active techniques.
Linfinity's architecture employs highspeed adaptive elements for each channel,
providing the fastest response possible. The
channel bandwidth is typically 35MHz. The
LX5122 compares favorably to older linear
regulator approaches whose bandwidth's
are dominated by the output compensation
capacitor and are limited to the 500KHz
bandwidth region (see further discussion in
the Functional Description section).
Linfinity's architecture also eliminates the
output compensation capacitor typical in
earlier terminator designs. Each is approved
for use with SCSI-1, -2, -3, ULTRA and
beyond — providing the highest performance alternative available today.
Another key improvement of LX5122
products lies in their ability to insure reliable, error free communications even in
systems which do not necessarily 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 these
problems. The LX5122 architecture is much
more tolerant of marginal system integrations.
Recognizing the needs of portable and
configurable peripherals, the LX5122 has a
TTL compatible sleep/disable mode. Quiescent current is less than 150µA in this
mode.
Reduced component count is also inherent in the LX5122 architecture. Traditional
termination techniques require large stabilization and transient protection capacitors
of up to 20µF in value and size. The LX5122
architecture does not require these components, allowing all the cost savings associated with inventory, board space, assembly, reliability, and component costs.
The LX5122 has multiple disables for full
Plug and Play SCSI capability for Host Bus
Adapters with 3 SCSI connectors. It also
splits the upper 9 termination lines for
mixing 16-bit (wide) and 8-bit (narrow)
buses with minimal board trace
capacitance.

Cable transmission theory suggests that in order to optimize
signal speed and quality, the termination should act both as
an ideal voltage reference when the line is released (de-asserted)
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 UltraMAX LX5122, 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 LX5122 closely
reproduces the optimum case when the device is enabled. To
enable the device the DISC1 and DISC2 pins must be driven

per the above table. During this mode of operation,
quiescent current is 12mA and the device will
respond to line demands by delivering 24mA on
assertion and by imposing 2.85V on de-assertion.
Disable mode places the device in a sleep state,
where a meager 150µA of quiescent current is
consumed. Additionally, all outputs are in a HiZ (impedance) state. Sleep mode can be used
for power conservation or to completely eliminate
the terminator from the SCSI chain.
An additional feature of the LX5122 is its compatibility with active negation drivers.
For Plug and Play SCSI auto-termination diabling, connect pin 50 of the External Wide SCSI connector to W1 of the LX5122,
connect pin 50 of the Internal Wide SCSI connector to W2 of the LX5122, and connect pin 22 of the Internal Narrow connector
to N1 of the LX5122.
