Unitrode UCC5610 18-Line Low Capacitance SCSI Active Terminator Datasheet

The UCC5610 provides 18 lines of active termination for a SCSI parallel bus. It is ideal for high performance 3.3V SCSI systems. The key features contributing to such low operating voltage are the 0.1V drop out regulator and the 2.75V reference. During disconnect, the supply current is typically only 0.5µA, making it attractive for battery powered systems. The UCC5610 has an ultra low channel capacitance of 1.8pF, eliminating effects on signal integrity from disconnected terminators at interim points on the bus. It can be programmed for either a 110 ohm or 2.5k ohm termination. The 110 ohm termination is used for standard SCSI bus lengths, while the 2.5k ohm termination is typically used in short bus applications. When driving the DISCNCT pin directly, the 110 ohm termination is connected when the pin is driven low, and disconnected when driven high. When driven through an impedance between 80k and 150k, the 2.5k ohm termination is connected when the pin is driven low, and disconnected when driven high.
