REG5608

The REG5608 is a low capacitance 18-line active terminator for SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) parallel bus systems. On-chip resistors and voltage regulator provide the prescribed SCSI bus termination. Low line capacitance (2pF) meets requirements for high data rate systems.

All terminations ofREG5608 can be disconnected from the bus with a single logic control line. In the disconnect mode, output lines remain high impedance with or without power applied. This allows "hot socket" equipment plugging as required for "plug and play" applications.

The internal voltage regulator REG5608 is temperature-compensated to assure proper termination characteristics over a wide operating range. Output current and thermal limit circuitry protect against damage.  The REG5608 is available in 28-lead SOIC and fine-pitch SSOP packages and is specified for 0 to 70 operation.
