The UCC5606 is ideal for high performance 3.3V SCSI systems. The key features contributing to such low operating voltage are the 0.1V drop out regulator and the 2.7V reference. The reduced reference voltage was necessary to accommodate the lower termination current dictated in the SCSI-3 specification. During disconnect the supply current is typically only 1A, which makes the IC attractive for battery powered systems. The UCC5606 is designed with an ultra low channel capacitance of 1.8pF, which eliminates effects on signal integrity from disconnected terminators at interim points on the bus. The UCC5606 can be programmed for either a 110 ohm or 2.5k ohm termination. The 110 ohm termination is used for standard SCSI bus lengths and the 2.5k ohm termination is typically used in short bus applications. When driving the TTL compatible DISCNCT pin directly, the 110 ohm termination is connected when the DISCNCT pin is driven high, and disconnected when low. When the DISCNCT pin is driven through an impedance between 80k and 150k, the 2.5k ohm termination is connected when the DISCNCT pin is driven high, and disconnected when driven low.
