The DS2108 SCSI Terminator is a terminator for High Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI systems requiring switchable termination.
The DS2108 is a 24-pin SOIC integrated circuit designed for High Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI systems. It integrates eighteen 330-ohm and nine 150-ohm precise switched termination resistors into a single chip, saving board space compared to conventional resistor SIPs. The device allows termination resistors to be isolated from the SCSI bus via software or hardware control.
| Package Type | 24-pin plastic SOIC |
|---|---|
| Termination Resistance (Rrtw) | 313.5 to 346.5 ohms |
| Termination Resistance (Rone) | 142.5 to 157.5 ohms |
| Power-down Current | 1 to 2 mA |
| Power-down Capacitance | 5 to 6 pF |
Two DS2108s are required per 8-bit SCSI device.
Three DS2108s are required per 16-bit SCSI device.
The device is removed from the circuit by bringing the power down pin (PD) low.
