ML6518
18 Line Hot-Insertable Active SCSI Terminator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6518 BiCMOS 18 line SCSI terminator provides
active termination in SCSI systems using single-ended
drivers and receivers. Active SCSI termination helps to
effectively control analog transmission line effects such as
ringing, noise, crosstalk, and ground bounce. In addition,
the ML6518 provides support for hot insertability on the
SCSI bus.
The ML6518 provides a V-I characteristic optimized to
minimize transmission line effects during both signal
negation and assertion using a MOSFET-based
architecture. The desired V-I characteristic is achieved by
trimming one resistor in the control block. Internal
clamping controls signal assertion transients and provides
current sink capability to handle active negation driver
overshoots above 2.85V. It provides a 2.85V reference
through an internal low dropout (1V) linear regulator.
The ML6518 also provides a disconnect function which
effectively removes the terminator from the SCSI bus. The
disconnect mode capacitance is typically less than 5pF
per line. Current limiting and thermal shutdown protection
are also included.

ML6518
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SCSI terminators are used to decrease the transmission line
effects of SCSI cable. Termination must be provided at the
beginning and end of the SCSI bus to ensure that data
errors due to reflections on the bus are eliminated. With
the increasing use of higher data rates and cable lengths in
SCSI subsystems, active termination has become
necessary. Active termination also minimizes power
dissipation and can be activated or deactivated under
software control, thus eliminating the need for end user
intervention. The V-I characteristics of popular SCSI
termination schemes are shown in Figure 1. Theoretically,
the desired V-I characteristics are the Boulay type for
signal assertion (high to low) and the ideal type for signal
negation (low to high). The ML6518 with its MOSFET-
based nonlinear termination element provides the most
optimum V-I characteristics for both signal assertion and
negation.
The ML6518 provides active termination for 18 signal
lines, thus accommodating basic SCSI which requires 18
lines to be terminated. When used with the ML6599, wide
SCSI, which requires 27, 36 or 45 lines to be terminated,
can also be accommodated. The ML6518 integrates an
accurate voltage reference (1V dropout voltage) and 18
MOSFET-based termination lines. A single internal resistor
is trimmed to tune the V-I characteristic of the MOSFETs.
The voltage reference circuit produces a precise 2.85V
level and is capable of sourcing 24mA into each of the
nine terminating lines when low (active). When the signal
line is negated (driver turns off), the terminator pulls the
signal line back to 2.85V. The regulator will source
400mA and sink 150mA while maintaining regulation of
2.85V.
V
3.7V
3.6V
The ML6518 SCSI terminator provides an active low
control signal (DISCNKT) which has an internal 200k½
pull-up resistor. The
DISCNKT
input isolates the ML6518
from the signal lines and effectively removes the
terminator from the SCSI bus with a disconnect mode
current of less than 100µA when pulled low. In addition,
the ML6518 provides for negative clamping of signal
transients and also supports current sink capability in
excess of 8.3mA per signal line to handle active negation
driver overshoot above 2.85V, a common occurrence with
SCSI transceivers.
Disconnect mode capacitance is a very critical parameter
in SCSI systems. The ML6518 provides a capacitance
contribution of only 5pF.
HOT INSERTABILITY
“Hot” insertion of a SCSI device refers to the act of
plugging a SCSI device which is initially unpowered into
a powered SCSI bus. The SCSI device subsequently draws
power from the TERMPWR line during its startup routine
and thereafter. “Hot” removal refers to the act of removing
a powered SCSI device from a powered SCSI bus. A
device which performs both tasks with no physical
damage to itself or other devices on the bus, nor which
alters the existing state of the bus by drawing excessive
currents, is termed “hot-swappable.”
The ML6518 hot-insertable SCSI terminator typically
draws 1µA from any given output line (L1–L18) during a
hot insertion/removal procedure, thereby protecting itself
and preserving the state of the bus. The low insertion
current is achieved by effectively shorting the gate to drain
of the output PMOS device until the 2.85V reference
(V
REF
) has powered up. A second PMOS in series with a
Schottky diode is used as the shorting bypass device. After
V
REF
reaches a sufficient level, the bypass device is turned
off and the part operates normally.
