G218B
Ultra160 Multi-mode LVD/SE SCSI Terminator
Features
General Description
Auto-selectable multi-mode Single-Ended
or LVD Termination
The G218B Multi-mode LVD/SE SCSI terminator pro-
vides a smooth transition into the next generation of
the SCSI Parallel Interface (SPI-3). It automatically
senses the bus, via DIFFSENS, and switches the ter-
mination to either single-ended (SE) or low voltage
differential (LVD) SCSI, dependent on which type of
devices are connected to the bus. If the G218B de-
tects a HVD SCSI device, it switches to a high imped-
ance state. For a 16-bit Wide SCSI bus to be opera-
tional, three G218B terminators are needed.
Meets SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3 SPI Ultra
(Fast-20), Ultra 2(SPI-2 LVD), Ultra160 (SPI-3
LVD) standards.
Supports active negation
3pF channel capacitance
Thermal protection
Hot-Swap compatible
5% tolerance on SE and LVD termination
resistance
The Multi-mode terminator contains all functions re-
quired to terminate and auto detect and switch modes
for SCSI Parallel Interface (SPI) bus architectures. For
the SE termination, one regulator and nine precision
110ohm resistors are used. For the LVD termination,
the G218B integrates 18 regulated supplies with nine
precision resistor strings.
