9-Line Plug and Play
SCSI Terminator
The 9-channel IMP5218 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.
The IMP5218 has two disconnect pins for SCSI Plug and Play (PnP)
applications.
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 IMP5218.
The IMP5218 architecture tolerates marginal system designs. A key
improvement offered by the IMP5218 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 IMP5218 can be placed in
a sleep mode with two disconnect signals. When disabled, the quiescent
current is typically 375µA, and the outputs are in a high impedance state.

IMP5218 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;
device the Disconnect 1 and Disconnect 2 pins must be driven per
Table 1.
When enabled, quiescent current is 6mA 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/Sleep mode can be used for power conservation or to
remove the terminator from the SCSI chain.
The IMP5218 is disabled when both disconnect pins are driven
logic LOW.
Disable mode places the device in a sleep state, where quiescent
current is typically 375µA. When disabled, all outputs are in a
high impedance state and each output has only 3pF of capaci-
tance.
An additional feature of the IMP5218 is its compatibility with
active negation drivers.

The IMP5218, with its unique new architecture, applies the maxi-
mum amount of current regardless of line voltage until the
termination high threshold (2.85V) is reached.
Acting as a near ideal line terminator, the IMP5218 closely repro-
duces the optimum case when the device is enabled. To enable the
