The DS2109 is intended for one chip Plug and Play (PnP) SCSI termination. Plug and Play SCSI requires the exitpoint terminator on computer motherboards or host bus adapters to automatically switch off if an external device is connected to the system. The DS2109 satisfies this requirement by offering the engineer a choice of onboard current sensing circuitry or onboard ground detect circuitry. If an external device is connected, the DS2109 will automatically be isolated from the SCSI bus thereby maintaining proper system termination.
