The UC5603 provides 9 lines of active termination for a SCSI (Small Computers Systems Interface) parallel bus. The SCSI standard recommends active
termination at both ends of the cable segment.
The UC5603 provides a disconnect feature which, when opened or driven
high, will disconnect all terminating resistors, and disables the regulator;
greatly red uc ing standby power. The output channels remain high impedance
even without Termpwr applied. A low channel capacitance of 6pF allows units
at interim points of the bus to have little to no effect on the signal integrity.
Functionall y the UC5603 is s imilar to its pr edecessor, the UC5601 - 18 line
Active Terminator. Several electrical enhancements were incorporated in the
UC5603, suc h as a sink/source re gulator output stage t o accommodate all
signal lin es at + 5V, while the regulator remains at its nominal value, reduced
channel cap acitance to 6pF typical, and as with the UC5601, custom power
packages are utilized to allow normal operation at full power conditions (1.2
watts).
Internal ci rcuit trimming is uti lized, first to trim the impedance to a 3% tolerance, and then mo st imp ort antl y, to trim the output current to a 3% tolerance,
as close to the max SCSI spec as possible, which maximizes noise margin in
fast SCSI operation.
Other feat ures include negative cl amping on all signal lines to protect external circuitry from latch-up, thermal shutdown and current limit.
This device is offered in low thermal resistance versions of the industry standard 16 pin narrow body S OIC, 16 pin ZIP (zig-zag in line pac kage) and 24 pin
TSSOP.
