description

The SN75LBC971A SCSI differential converter-data is
an adaptation of the industry’s first 9-channel RS-485
transceiver, the SN75LBC976. When used in conjunc­tion with its companion control transceiver, the
SN75LBC970A, the resulting chip set provides the
superior electrical performance of differential SCSI
from a single-ended SCSI bus or controller. A 16-bit
SCSI bus can be implemented with just three devices
(two data and one control) in the space efficient, 56-pin,
shrink small-outline package (SSOP) and a few
external components. An 8-bit SCSI bus requires only
one data and one control transceiver.

In a typical differential SCSI node, the SCSI controller
provides an enable for each external RS-485
transceiver channel. This could require as many as 27
extra terminals for a 16-bit differential bus controller or
relegate a 16-bit, single-ended controller to only an
8-bit differential bus. Using the standard nine SCSI
control signals, the SN75LBC970A control transceiver decodes the state of the bus and enables the
SN75LBC971A data transceiver to transmit the single-ended SCSI input signals (A side) differentially to the
cable or receive the differential cable signals (B side) and drive the single-ended outputs to the controller.

A reset function, which disables all outputs and clears internal latches, can be accomplished from two external
inputs and two internally-generated signals. RESET

(reset) and DSENS (differential sense) are available to
external circuits for a bus reset or to disable all outputs should a single-ended cable be inadvertently connected
to a differential connector . Internally-generated power-up and thermal-shutdown signals have the same affect
when the supply voltage is below approximately 3.5 V or the junction temperature exceeds 175°C.

description (continued)

The SCSI, differential, converter-data chip operates in two modes depending on the state of the DRVBUS input.
With DRVBUS low , a bidirectional latch circuit sets the direction of data transfer. Each data bit has its own latch,
and each bit’s direction is independent of all other bits. When neither the single-ended nor the differential sides
are asserted, the latch disables both A- and B-side output drivers. When the input to either side is asserted, the
latch enables the opposite side’s driver and sets data flow from the asserted input to the opposite side of the
device. When the input deasserts, the latch maintains the direction until the receiver on the enabled driver
detects a deassertion. The latch then returns to the initial state. No parity checking is done by this device; the
parity signal passes through the device like other data signals do.

When DRVBUS is high, direction is determined by the SDB signal. However , a change in SDB does not always
immediately change the direction. When DRVBUS first asserts, the direction indicated by SDB is latched and
takes effect immediately . When SDB changes while DRVBUS is high, the drivers that were on immediately turn
off. However , the other driver set does not turn on until the receivers sense a deasserted state on all nine data
lines. This is done to prevent the active drivers from turning on until all other drivers are off and the terminators
pull the lines to a deasserted state.

The single-ended SCSI bus interface consists of CMOS, bidirectional inputs and outputs. The drivers are rated
to ±16 mA of output current. The receiver inputs are pulled high with approximately 4 mA to eliminate the need
for external pullup resistors for the open-drain outputs of most single-ended SCSI controllers. The single-ended
side of the device is not intended to drive the SCSI bus directly.

The differential SCSI bus interface consists of bipolar , bidirectional inputs and outputs that meet or exceed the
requirements of EIA-485 and ISO 8482-1982/TIA TR30.2 referenced by American National Standard of
Information Systems (ANSI) X3.131-1994 Small Computer System Interface-2 (SCSI-2).

The SN75LBC971A is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTES: 1. All voltage values are with respect to GND.

2. The maximum operating junction temperature is internally limited. Use the dissipation rating table to operate below this temperature.
