27-Line Plug and Play
SCSI Terminator
The 27-channel IMP5121 SCSI terminator is part of IMP's family of high-
performance SCSI terminators that deliver true UltraSCSI performance.
The BiCMOS design offers superior performance over first generation
linear regulator/resistor based terminators.
IMP's new architecture employs high-speed adaptive elements for each
channel, thereby providing the fastest response possible - typically
35MHz, which is 100 times faster than the older linear regulator termi-
nator approach. The bandwidth of terminators based on the older
regulator/resistor terminator architecture is limited to 500kHz since a
large output stabilization capacitor is required. The IMP architecture
eliminates the external output compensation capacitor and the need
for transient output capacitors while maintaining pin compatibility
with first generation designs. Reduced component count is inherent
with the IMP5121.
The IMP5121 architecture tolerates marginal system designs. A key
improvement offered by the IMP5121 lies in its ability to insure reliable,
error-free communications even in systems which do not adhere to rec-
ommended SCSI hardware design guidelines, such as improper cable
lengths and impedance. Frequently, this situation is not controlled by the
peripheral or host designer.
For portable and configurable peripherals, the IMP5121 can be placed in
a sleep mode with TTL compatible signals. Quiescent current is less than
150µA when disabled.

IMP5121 Maximizes Line Current
Cable transmission theory suggests to optimize signal speed and
quality, the termination should act both as an ideal voltage refer-
ence when the line is released (deasserted) and as an ideal
current source when the line is active (asserted). Common active
terminators which consist of linear regulators in series with resis-
tors (typically 110Ω) are a compromise. With coventional linear
terminators as the line voltage increases the amount of current
decreases linearly by the equation;
Acting as a near ideal line terminator, the IMP5121 closely repro-
duces the optimum case when the device is enabled. To enable
the device the DISC1 and DISC2 pins must be driven per
Table 1.
When enabled, quiescent current is 12mA and the device will
respond to line demands by delivering 24mA on assertion and by
imposing 2.85V on de-assertion.
Disable/Sleep Mode
Disable mode places the device in a sleep state, where quiescent
current is reduced to less than 150µA. When disabled, all
outputs are in a high impedance state. Sleep mode can be used
for power conservation or to remove the terminator from the
SCSI chain.
An additional feature of the IMP5121 is its compatibility with
active negation drivers.

The IMP5121, with its unique new architecture, applies the max-
imum amount of current regardless of line voltage until the
termination high threshold (2.85V) is reached.
