Protection
The UC5608 provi des 18 lines of active termination for a SCSI (Small
Computer Sy s t em s I nt er f ac e ) par all el bus. The SCS I s tandard recom-
mends active termination at both ends of the bus cable.
The UC5608 is pin-for-pin compatible with its predecessors, the
UC5601 and UC5602 - 18 Li ne Active Terminator. Parametrically the
UC5608 has a 5% tolerance on impedance and cu rren t compar ed to a
3% toleranc e on the UC56 01 and the sink current is increased from
20 to 200mA. The low side clamps have been removed. Custom
power packages are utilized to allow normal operation at full power
conditions (2 Watts).
When in disconnect mode the terminator will disconnect all terminat-
ing resistors and disable the regulator, greatly reducing standby
power. The output channels remain high impedance even without
Termpwr applied.
Internal circuit trimming is utilized to tri m the impedance to a 5% toler-
ance and, most importantly, to trim the outp ut current to a 5% toler-
ance, as c lose to the max SCSI spec as possible, which maximizes
noise margin in fast SCSI operation.
Other feat ures include 4.0 to 5.25V Termpwr, thermal shutdown and
current limit.
This device is offered in low the rmal re sistance v ersions of the indus-
try standard 28 pin wide body SOIC, 28 pin wide body TSSOP, and 28
pin PLCC, as well as 24 pin DIP.
