description
The SN75LVDM976 and SN75LVDM977 have
nine transceivers for transmitting or receiving the
signals to or from a SCSI data bus. They offer
electrical compatibility to both the single-ended
signaling of X3.277:1996–SCSI–3 Parallel Interface (Fast–20) and the new low-voltage differential signaling method of proposed standard
1142–D SCSI Parallel Interface – 2 (SPI–2).
The differential drivers are nonsymmetrical. The
SCSI bus uses a dc bias on the line to allow
terminated fail safe and wired-OR signaling. This bias can be as high as 125 mV and induces a difference in
the high-to-low and low-to-high transition times of a symmetrical driver. In order to reduce pulse skew, an LVD
SCSI driver’s output characteristics become nonsymmetrical. In other words, there is more assertion current
than negation current to or from the driver. This allows the actual differential signal voltage on the bus to be
symmetrical about 0 V. Even though the driver output characteristics are nonsymmetrical, the design of the
’L VDM976 drivers maintains balanced signaling. Balanced means that the current that flows in each signal line
is nearly equal but opposite in direction and is one of the keys to the low-noise performance of a differential bus.

description (continued)
The signal symmetry requirements of the L VD-SCSI bus mean you can no longer obtain logical inversion of a
signal by simply reversing the differential signal connections. This requires the ability to invert the logic
convention through the INV/NON terminal. This input would be a low for SCSI controllers with active-high data
and high for active-low data. In either case, the B+ signals of the transceiver must be connected to the SIGNAL+
line of the SCSI bus and the B– of the transceiver to the SIGNAL– line.
The CDE0 input incorporates a window comparator to detect the status of the DIFFSENS line of a SCSI bus.
This line is below 0.5 V, if using single-ended signals, between 1.7 V and 1.9 V if low-voltage differential, and
between 2.4 V and 5.5 V if high-voltage differential. The outputs assume the characteristics of single-ended or
L VD accordingly or place the outputs into high-impedance, when HVD is detected. This, and the INV/NON
input,
are the only differences to the trade-standard function of the SN75976A HVD transceiver.
Two options are offered to minimize the signal noise margins on the interface between the communications
controller and the transceiver. The SN75LVDM976 has logic input voltage thresholds of about 0.5 VCC. The
SN75L VDM977 has a fixed logic input voltage threshold of about 1.5 V. The input voltage threshold should be
selected to be near the middle of the output voltage swing of the corresponding driver circuit.
The SN75L VDM976 and SN75L VDM977 are characterized for operation over an free-air temperature range of
T
A
= 0°C to 70°C.

I/O None 1B– to 9B– are the signals to and from the data bus. When
INV/NON
is low, the logic sense is the opposite that of the A
input (inverted). When INV/NON
is high, the logic sense is the
same as the A input (noninverted).

I/O None When in the LVD mode, 1B+ – 9B+ are signals to or from the
data bus and follow the same logic sense as the A input when
INV/NON
is low (noninverted). The logic sense is opposite that
of the A input (inverted) when INV/NON
is high. When in
single-ended mode, these terminals become a ground
connection through a transistor and do not switch.
CDE0 54 Trinary Trinary Input None CDE0 is the common driver enable 0. With the driver enabled
and the CDE0 input less than 0.5 V, the driver output is
single-ended mode. With the driver enabled and the CDE0
input between 0.7 V and 1.9 V the driver output is LVD mode.
All drivers are disabled when the input is greater than 2.4 V.
CDE1 55 CMOS TTL Input Pulldown CDE1 is the common driver enable 1. When CDE1 is high,
drivers 1 – 4 are enabled
CDE2 56 CMOS TTL Input Pulldown CDE2 is the common driver enable 2. When CDE2 is high,
drivers 5 to 8 are enabled.

CMOS TTL Input Pulldown 1DE/RE – 9DE/RE are direction controls that transmit data to
the bus when it is high and CDE0 is below 2.2 V. Data is
received from the bus when 1DE/RE

CDE2 are low.
