The LX5204 is a nine-line active terminator for the SCSI parallel bus. This SCSI standard recommends active termination at both ends of the SCSI bus. The LX5204 has the added features of hot swappability, fully complying with the SCSI hot swap specification. During disconnect mode, the LX5204 requires a meager 60A of supply current while offering only 3.5pF of output capacitance. To enter this low-power mode, the disconnect pin can be left open (floating) or driven high, thereby disconnecting the terminating resistors and placing the internal low dropout regulator into low-power mode. In disconnect mode, each termination line presents a high impedance to the SCSI bus with the overall effect being to preserve high-signal integrity and yield subsequent reliable, errorfree communications.
