The LX5107 is a nine-line active terminator for the SCSI parallel bus. This SCSI standard recommends active termination at both ends of the SCSI bus. During disconnect mode, the LX 5107 requires a meager 30µA of supply current while offering only 3.0pF of output capacitance.

To enter this low-power mode, the disconnect pin should be driven low 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, error free communications. During normal operation, the LX5107 consumes only 600µA of current which is the lowest enabled supply current of any terminator available on the market today.

Linfinity's proprietary BiCMOS low dropout regulator architecture enables this unique and very efficient operating characteristic. The LX5107 also offers a precisely trimmed channel output current specified to a 5% tolerance. The maximum value of the output current is trimmed as closely as possible to the SCSI standard maximum specification to give the highest possible noise margin for fast SCSI operation.

In addition, the LX5107 sinks up to 50mA of current making it compatible with today's fast active negation drivers. The LX5107 is a superior, pin-for-pin replacement for a variety of industry products such as the DS2107S and DS21S07A.
