GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Fast SCSI and Ultra SCSI require the use of active
terminations at both ends of every cable segment in a
SCSI system with single-ended drivers and receivers.
The DS21S07A SCSI terminator, which is fully
compliant with these standards, enables the designer
to gain the benefits of active termination: greater
immunity to voltage drops on the TERMPWR
(TERMination PoWeR) line, enhanced high-level
noise immunity, intrinsic TERMPWR decoupling,
and very low quiescent current consumption. The
DS21S07A integrates a regulator and nine precise
switched 110
termination resistors into a
monolithic IC. The DS21S07A can be electrically
isolated from the SCSI bus without physical removal
from the SCSI device.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The DS21S07A consists of a bandgap reference, buffer amplifier, and nine termination resistors
(Figure 1). The bandgap reference circuit produces a precise 2.55V level that is fed to a buffer amplifier.
The buffer produces a 2.85V level and can source at least 24mA into each of the termination resistors
when the signal line is low (active). When the driver for a given signal line turns off, the terminator pulls
the signal line to 2.85V (quiescent state). To handle actively negated SCSI signals, the buffer can sink at
least 200mA, and VREF will move less than 60mV. When all lines settle in the quiescent state, the
regulator consumes about 2.5mA. When the DS21S07A is put into power-down mode by bringing
PD
low, the power-down circuitry turns off the transistors on each signal line. This isolates the DS21S07A
from the signal lines and effectively removes it from the circuit. The power-down pin (
PD) has an internal
50k
pullup resistor. To place the DS21S07A into an active state, the PD pin should be left open
circuited. When installed on disk drives or RAID system components, the DS21S07A will not affect the
SCSI bus during a hot plug operation.
To ensure proper operation, both the TERMPWR1 and TERMPWR2 pins must be connected to the SCSI
bus TERMPWR line and both the VREF1 and VREF2 pins must be tied together externally. Each
DS21S07A requires a 4.7
F capacitor connected between the VREF pins and ground. Figure 2 details a
typical SCSI bus configuration. In an 8-bit-wide SCSI bus arrangement ("A" Cable), two DS21S07A's
would be needed at each end of the SCSI cable to terminate the 18 active signal lines. In a 16-bit-wide
SCSI bus arrangement ("P" Cable), three DS21S07A's would be needed at each end of the SCSI cable to
terminate the 27 active signal lines.

NOTE 1: C1 = 4.7
F TANTALUM CAPACITOR; C2 = 2.2F TANTALUM OR 4.7F ALUMINUM CAPACITOR.
NOTE 2: IF THE DS21S07A IS TO BE EMBEDDED INTO A PERIPHERAL THAT WILL ACT AS A TARGET
ON A SCSI BUS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TERMPWR BE DERIVED FROM THE SCSI CABLE, NOT
GENERATED LOCALLY. IN THIS CONFIGURATION, IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS IN THE
PERIPHERAL, IT WILL NOT AFFECT THE BUS.
NOTE 3: A HIGH-FREQUENCY BYPASS CAPACITOR (0.1
F RECOMMENDED) CAN BE ADDED IN
PARALLEL TO C1 FOR APPLICATIONS USING FAST RISE/FALL TIME DRIVERS.
