DESCRIPTION

The ST18-28 multi-mode SCSI Terminator is both a Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and Single–Ended (SE) terminator for the transition to the next generation SCSI bus interface. If the device is connected in an LVD only bus, the ST18-28 will use LVD termination. If any SE devices are connected to the bus, the ST18-28 will use SE termination. Automatic mode selection is achieved through voltage detection on the DIFFSENSE line. For the LVD termination, the ST18-28 integrates two regulated supplies with nine precision resistor strings. For the SE termination, one regulator and nine precision 110 ohm resistors are used. The ST18-28 cannot be used with SCSI differential EIA485. ST18-28 will shutdown when it sees high voltage on the line in order to protect the device.

The external capacitors may be eliminated with the fast response voltage regulator design on VSE pin and the build in low-pass filter on DIFF_IN pin.
