DESCRIPTION
The LX5241/42/43 is a multimode SCSI terminator
that conforms to the SCSI Parallel Interconnect-
2 (SPI-2) specification developed by the T10
standards committee for low voltage differential
(LVD) termination, while providing backwards
compatibility to the SCSI, SCSI-2, and SPI single-
ended specifications. Multimode compatibility
permits the use of legacy devices on the bus
without hardware alterations. Automatic mode
selection is achieved through voltage detection
on the diffsense line.
The LX5241/42/43 utilizes Linfinity’s UltraMAX
technology which delivers the ultimate in SCSI
bus performance while saving component cost
and board area. Elimination of the external
capacitors also mitigates the need for a lengthy
capacitor selection process. The individual high
bandwidth drivers also maximize channel sepa-
ration and reduce channel to channel noise and
cross talk. The high bandwidth architecture
insures ULTRA2 performance while providing a
clear migration path to ULTRA3 and beyond.
When the LX5241/42/43 is enabled, the dif-
ferential sense (DIFFSENSE) pin supplies a
voltage between 1.2V and 1.4V. In application,
this pin is tied to the DIFFSENSE input of the
corresponding LVD transceivers. This action
enables the LVD transceiver function.
DIFFSENSE is capable of supplying a maximum
of 15mA. Tying the DIFFSENSE pin high places
the LX5241/42/43 in a HI Z state indicating the
presence of an HVD device. Tying the pin low
places the part in a single-ended mode while
also signaling the multimode transceiver to
operate in a single-ended mode.
Recognizing the needs of portable and
configurable peripherals, the LX5241/42/43
have a TTL compatible sleep/disable mode.
During this sleep/disable mode, power dissipa-
tion is reduced to a meager 15µA while also
placing all outputs in a HI Z state. Also during
sleep/disable mode, the DIFFSENSE function is
disabled and is placed in a HI Z state.
Another key feature of the LX5241/42/43 is
the master / slave function. Driving this pin
high or floating the pin enables the 1.3V
DIFFSENSE reference. Driving the pin low
disables the on board DIFFSENSE reference and
enables use of an external master reference
device.

Description
Negative signal termination lines for LVD mode. Signal termination lines for SE mode.
Power supply pin for terminator. Connect to SCSI bus TERMPWR. Must be decoupled by one 4.7µF
low-ESR capacitor for every three terminator devices. It is absolutely necessary to connect this pin to
the decoupling capacitor through a very low impedance (big traces on PCB). Keeping distances very
short from the decoupling capacitors to the V
TERM
pin is also critical. The value of the decoupling
capacitor is somewhat layout dependant and some applications may benefit from high-frequency
decoupling with 0.1µF capacitors right at V
TERM
pin.
Enables / disables terminator. See Power Down Function Table for logic levels per device.
Terminator ground pin. Connect to ground.
Sometimes referred to as M/S pin in this data sheet. Used to select which terminator is the control-
ling device. MASTER/SLAVE pin High or Open enables the DIFFSENSE output drive. Please see
MASTER/SLAVE Function Table.
This is a dual function pin. It drives the SCSI bus DIFFSENS line. It is also the sense pin to detect the
SCSI bus mode (LVD, SE or HVD). DIFFSENSE output drive can be disabled with Low level on the
MASTER/SLAVE pin. Please see DIFFSENSE and MASTER/SLAVE Function Tables. Internally
connected to DIFFB pin through 20kOhm resistor.
Internally connected to DIFFSENSE pin through 20kOhm resistor. It can be used as a mode sense
pin when the device is a non-controlling terminator (MASTER/SLAVE pin is Low). An RC filter
(20kOhm / 0.1µF) is not required on the LX5241/42/43, as it has an internal timer.
Single-ended output; when High, terminator is operating in SE mode.
Low Voltage Differential output. When High, terminator is operating in LVD mode.
High Voltage Differential output. When High, terminator is operating in HVD mode.
Attached to die mounting pad, but not bonded to GND pin. Pins should be considered a heat sink
only, and not a true ground connection. It is recommeneded that these pins be connected to ground,
but can be left floating.
