The DS2125 Ultra3 LVD/SE SCSI terminator is both a low-voltage differential (LVD) and single-ended (SE) terminator. The multimode operation enables the designer to implement LVD in current products while allowing the end user SE backward compatibility with legacy devices. If the device is connected in an LVD-only bus, the DS2125 uses LVD termination. If any SE devices are connected to the bus, the DS2125 uses SE termination, which is accomplished automatically inside the part by sensing the voltage on the SCSI bus DIFFSENS line.
