DESCRIPTION
The UC5601 provides precision resistive pull-up to a 2.9V reference for all
18 lines in a Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus cable. The
SCSI-2 standard recommends active termination at both ends of every ca-
ble segment utilizing single ended drivers and receivers.
Internal circuit trimming is utilized, first to reduce resistor tolerances to
±
3%
and then to adjust the regulator’s output voltage to insure termination cur-
rent accuracy of
±
3%.
The UC5601 provides a disconnect feature which, upon a logic command,
disconnects all terminating resistors, and turns off the regulator; greatly re-
ducing standby power.
Other features include negative clamping on all signal lines, 20mA of active
negation sink current capability, regulator current limiting, and thermal shut-
down protection.
This device is offered in low thermal resistance versions of the industry
standard 28 pin wide body SOIC and PLCC, as well as a 24 pin DIL plastic
package.
