General Description
The DS2127 Ultra3 LVD/SE SCSI terminator provides
low-voltage differential (LVD)/single-ended (SE) terminations for 14 SCSI lines. Through the voltage on the
DIFF_CAP pin, the device detects the types of drivers
on the bus. If the device is connected in an LVD-only
bus, the DS2127 provides LVD termination. If any single-ended devices are connected to the bus, the
DS2127 uses SE termination. If any high-voltage differential (HVD) devices are connected to the bus, the
DS2127 isolates itself from the SCSI bus. The mode
change has a built-in delay that is determined by an
integrated SPI-3 mode change filter/delay. The terminating resistors can also be disconnected from the bus
by asserting the ISO pin.
For the LVD termination, the DS2127 provides 14 precisely trimmed resistors. Each resistor is biased with
two current sources to a fail-safe state. For SE termination, the DS2127 provides 14 precision 110Ω resistors
and one regulator for active-negation bias.

Detailed Description
The DS2127 provides dual-mode active terminators
with auto-switching SE and LVD termination for 14 SCSI
lines. The DIFFSENSE signal performs mode detection
and selection.
In LVD mode, the termination configuration is a y-type
terminator with a 105Ω differential resistance and a
150Ω common-mode resistance. The termination resis-
tor is biased with two current sources and the commonmode node is connected to a 1.25V voltage regulator.
A fail-safe bias of 112mV is maintained when no drivers
are connected to the SCSI bus.
In SE mode, each negative signal input pin is connected to 2.85V through a 110Ω resistor.
In HVD mode, the termination resistors are isolated
from the SCSI bus and the resistor pins are left floating.
The voltage regulator is powered down and the V
REF
pin is in a high-impedance state.
The DIFF_CAP pin is connected to the SCSI DIFFSENSE
line and monitors the voltage to determine the proper
operating mode of the device. Any DIFFSENSE voltage
below 0.5V indicates single ended; any DIFFSENSE voltage between 0.7V and 1.9V is LVD, and above 2.4V is
an HVD SCSI. On power-up, the DS2127 assumes SE
mode. If the voltage on the DIFF_CAP is between 0.7V
and 1.9V, the device waits t
DELAY
before entering the
LVD mode. The delay is the same when changing
modes. A new mode change can start at any time after a
previous mode change has been detected.
Typically, four DS2127s are used in a SCSI bus segment. On two chips, the DIFF_CAP inputs at each end
of the bus should be connected together. There should
be a 50Hz noise filter implemented on DIFF_CAP at
each end of the bus, as close as possible to the
DIFF_CAP pins. This filter consists of a 20kΩ resistor
between the DIFFSENS and DIFF_CAP pins, and a
0.1µF capacitor from DIFF_CAP to GND. See Figure 2
for the typical operating circuit.
When ISO is connected to TPWR, the termination pins
are isolated from the SCSI bus and V
REF
becomes
inactive, and the device is in a low-power state. During
thermal shutdown, the termination pins are isolated
from the SCSI bus and V
REF
becomes high impedance.
The DIFFSENS driver is shut down during either of
these two events. LVD and SE signals indicate whether
the SCSI bus segment is in LVD or SE mode.
