MC34268
SCSI-2 Active Terminator
Regulator
The MC34268 is a medium current, low dropout positive voltage
regulator specifically designed for use in SCSI–2 active termination
circuits. This device offers the circuit designer an economical
solution for precision voltage regulation, while keeping power losses
to a minimum. The regulator consists of a 1.0 V dropout composite
PNP/NPN pass transistor, current limiting, and thermal limiting.
These devices are packaged in the 8–pin SOP–8 and 3–pin DPAK
and SOT–223 surface mount power packages.
Applications include active SCSI–2 terminators and post
regulation of switching power supplies.
• 2.85 V Output Voltage for SCSI–2 Active Termination
• 1.0 V Dropout
• Output Current in Excess of 800 mA
• Thermal Protection
• Short Circuit Protection
• Output Trimmed to 1.4% Tolerance
• No Minimum Load Required
• Space Saving DPAK, SOT–223 and SOP–8 Surface Mount Power

Figure 3 is a circuit of a typical SCSI terminator
application. The MC34268 is designed specifically to
provide 2.85 V required to drive a SCSI–2 bus. The output
current capability of the regulator is in excess of 800 mA;
enough to drive standard SCSI–2, fast SCSI–2, and some
wide SCSI–2 applications. The typical dropout voltage is
less than 1.0 V, allowing the IC to regulate to input voltages
less than 4.0 V. Internal protective features include current
and thermal limiting.

To SCSI Bus
The MC34268 requires an external 10 µF capacitor with
an ESR of less than 10 Ω for stability over temperature.
With economical electrolytic capacitors, cold temperature
operation can pose a stability problem. As temperature
decreases, the capacitance also decreases and the ESR
increases, which could cause the circuit to oscillate.
Tantalum capacitors may be a better choice if small size is
a requirement. Also, the capacitance and ESR of a tantalum
capacitor is more stable over temperature.
