DS21T09S 28-Pin SOIC (300-mil)
DESCRIPTION
The DS21T09 is intended for one-chip Plug and Play (PnP) SCSI termination. Plug and Play SCSI
requires the exit-point terminator on computer motherboards or host bus adapters to automatically switch
off if an external device is connected to the system. The DS21T09 satisfies this requirement by offering
the engineer a choice of onboard current sensing circuitry or onboard ground detect circuitry. If an
external device is connected, the DS21T09 will automatically be isolated from the SCSI bus thereby
maintaining proper system termination.
The DS21T09 integrates a low drop-out regulator, 18 precisely switched 110Ω=termination resistors, and
bus termination sensors into a 28-pin, 300-mil SOIC package. Active termination provides: greater
immunity to voltage drops on the TERMPWR (TERMination PoWeR) line, enhanced high-level noise
immunity, intrinsic TERMPWR decoupling, and very low quiescent current consumption. The DS21T09
contains an output port that can control the power-down pin of additional terminators (DS21T07) for
Wide SCSI applications.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The DS21T09 is designed to be a single chip termination subsystem for use in PnP SCSI systems, Figure
1. When embedded on a host bus adapter or motherboard, the DS21T09 can automatically sense the
termination status of the SCSI bus and attach or isolate its resistors as needed to maintain proper bus
termination. External and internal active termination can be provided by the DS21T07.
DS21T09 APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT

DS21T09
The DS21T09 consists of three major functional blocks, Figure 2:
•
•
•
Voltage reference, terminating resistors, and isolation switches
Bus current sensing circuitry
Bus ground sensing circuitry
When the Bus Ground Sensing Circuitry or Bus Current Sensing Circuitry determines that the SCSI bus
is properly terminated without the DS21T09, the power-down buffer isolates the resistors from the SCSI
bus and disables the power amp, thereby placing the DS21T09 in a low power mode (the bus sensing
circuitry always stays active). The
PDO
(Power-Down Output) pin can be connected to the pin of a
DS21T07 SCSI terminator for Wide SCSI configurations, Figure 8.

ACTIVE TERMINATION
The voltage regulator circuitry (bandgap reference and class AB power amplifier) produces a precise,
laser-trimmed 2.85-volt level and is capable of sourcing 25 mA into each of the terminating resistors
when the signal line is low (active). When the external driver for a given signal line turns off, the active
terminator will pull that signal line to 2.85 volts (quiescent state). When used with an active negation
driver, the power amp can sink 22 mA per line while keeping the voltage reference in regulation; the
terminating resistors maintain their 110Ω=value over the entire voltage range and V
ref
will move less than
60 mv. To maintain the specified regulation, a 4.7
µF
capacitor is required between the V
REF
pin and
ground. A high frequency capacitor (0.1
µF
ceramic recommended) can also be placed on the V
ref
pin in
applications that use fast rise/fall time drivers. The power down capacitance on terminating resistors R1-
R13 and R15-R18 is <3 pF; R14 is slightly higher due to the bus current sensing circuitry.
The DS21T09 can be removed from the SCSI bus by using either of two automatic methods: Bus Ground
Sensing or Bus Current Sensing.
As with all analog circuitry, the TERMPWR lines should be bypassed locally. A 2.2
µF
capacitor is
recommended between TPWR and ground. It should be placed as close as possible to the DS21T09. The
DS21T09 should be placed as close as possible to the connector to minimize signal and power trace
length, thereby resulting in less input capacitance and reflections which can degrade the bus signals.

BUS GROUND SENSING
If internal and external SCSI devices are connected to the SCSI bus, the DS21T09 will disconnect from
the SCSI bus according to the circuit in Figure 3. To utilize this automatic disconnect method of bus
sensing, configure the DS21T09 as shown in Figure 4. The
PDI
(Power Down Internal) pin should be
connected to pin 22 of the internal SCSI connector, and the
PDE
(Power Down External) connected to
pin 36 of the external SCSI connector.
