General Description
The G218A Multi-mode LVD/SE SCSI terminator pro-
vides a smooth transition into the next generation of
the SCSI Parallel Interface (SPI-2). It automatically
senses the bus, via DIFFSENS, and switches the ter-
mination to either single-ended (SE) or low voltage
differential (LVD) SCSI, dependent on which type of
devices are connected to the bus. If the G218A de-
tects a HVD SCSI device, it switches to a high imped-
ance state. For a 16-bit Wide SCSI bus to be opera-
tional, three G218A terminators are needed.
The Multi-mode terminator contains all functions re-
quired to terminate and auto detect and switch modes
for SCSI parallel Interface (SPI-2) bus architectures.
For the SE termination, one regulator and nine preci-
sion 110ohm resistors are used. For the LVD termina-
tion, the G218A integrates two regulated supplies with
nine precision resistor strings.
