DESCRIPTION
The UCC5673 Multi-Mode Low Voltage Differential and Single Ended Ter-
minator is both a single ended terminator and a low voltage differential ter-
minator for the transition to the next generation SCSI Parallel Interface
(SPI-3). The low voltage differential is a requirement for the higher speeds
at a reasonable cost and is the only way to have adequate skew budgets.
The automatic mode select/change feature switches the terminator be-
tween Single Ended or LVD Termination, depending on the bus mode. If
the bus is in High Voltage Differential Mode, the terminator lines transition
into a High Impedance state.
The UCC5673 is SPI-3, SPI-2, and SCSI-2 compliant. This device is of-
fered in a 28 pin TSSOP package to minimize the footprint. The UCC5673
is also available in a 36 pin MWP package.
Note: Indicated pinout is for 28 pin TSSOP package.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
DIFFB:
Input pin for the comparators that select SE,
LVD, or HIPD modes of operation. This pin should be de-
coupled with a 0.1
F capacitor to ground and then cou-
pled to the DIFSENS pin through a 20k
resistor.
DIFSENS: Connects to the Diff Sense line of the SCSI
bus. The bus mode is controlled by the voltage level on
this pin.
DISCNCT: Input pin used to shut down the terminator if
the terminator is not connected at the end of the bus.
Connect this pin to ground to disable the terminator or
open pin to activate the terminator.
HS/GND: Heat sink ground pins. These should be con-
nected to large ground area PC board traces to increase
the power dissipation capability.
GND: Power Supply return.
L1 thru L9: Termination lines. These are the active
lines in SE mode and are the negative lines for LVD
mode. In HIPD mode, these lines are high impedance.
L1+ thru L9+: Termination lines. These lines switch to
ground in SE mode and are the positive lines for LVD
mode. In HIPD mode, these lines are high impedance.
TRMPWR: 2.7V to 5.25V power input pin.
All SCSI buses require a termination network at each
end to function properly. Specific termination require-
ments differ, depending on which types of SCSI devices
are present on the bus.
The UCC5673 is used in multi-mode active termination
applications, where single ended (SE) and low voltage
differential (LVD) devices might coexist. The UCC5673
has both SE and LVD termination networks integrated
into a single monolithic component. The correct termina-
tion network is automatically determined by the SCSI bus
"DIFSENS" signal.
The SCSI bus DIFSENS signal line is used to identify
which types of SCSI devices are present on the bus. On
power-up, the UCC5673 DIFSENS drivers will try to de-
liver 1.3V to the DIFSENS line. If only LVD devices are
present, the DIFSENS line will be successfully driven to
1.3V and the terminators will configure for LVD opera-
tion. If any single ended devices are present, they will
present a short to ground on the DIFSENS line, signaling
the UCC5673(s) to configure into the SE mode, accom-
modating the SE devices. Or, if any high voltage differen-
tial (HVD) devices are present, the DIFSENS line is
pulled high and the terminator will enter a high imped-
ance state, effectively disconnecting from the bus.
The DIFSENS line is monitored by each terminator
through a 50Hz noise filter at the DIFFB input pin. A set
of comparators detect and select the appropriate termi-
nation for the bus as follows. If the DIFSENS signal is be-

low 0.5V, the termination network is SE. Between 0.7V
and 1.9V, the termination network switches to LVD, and
above 2.4V is HVD, causing the terminators to discon-
nect from the bus. The thresholds accommodate differ-
ences in ground potential that can occur with long lines.
Three UCC5673 multi-mode parts are required at each
end of the bus to terminate 27 (18 data, plus 9 control)
lines. Each part includes a DIFSENS driver, but only one
is necessary to drive the line. The DIFFB inputs on all
three parts are connected together, allowing them to
share the same 50Hz noise filter. This multi-mode termi-
nator operates in full specification down to 2.7V
TRMPWR voltage. This accommodates 3.3V systems,
with allowance for the 3.3V supply tolerance (+/- 10%), a
unidirectional fusing device and cable drop. In 3.3V

TRMPWR systems, the UCC3918 is recommended in
place of the fuse and diode. The UCC3918's lower volt-
age drop allows additional margin over the fuse and di-
ode, for the far end terminator.
Layout is critical for Ultra2 and Ultra3 systems. The SPI-2
standard for capacitance loading is 10pF maximum from
each positive and negative signal line to ground, and a
maximum of 5pF between the positive and negative sig-
nal lines of each pair is allowed. These maximum capaci-
tances apply to differential bus termination circuitry that
is not part of a SCSI device, (e.g. a cable terminator). If
the termination circuitry is included as part of a SCSI de-
vice, (e.g., a host adaptor, disk or tape drive), then the
corresponding requirements are 30pF maximum from
each positive and negative signal line to ground and
15pF maximum between the positive and negative signal
lines of each pair.
The SPI-2 standard for capacitance balance of each pair
and balance between pairs is more stringent. The stan-
dard is 0.75pF maximum difference from the positive and
negative signal lines of each pair to ground. An additional
requirement is a maximum difference of 2pF when com-
paring pair to pair. These requirements apply to differen-
tial bus termination circuitry that is not part of a SCSI
device. If the termination circuitry is included as part of a
device, then the corresponding balance requirements are
2.25pF maximum difference within a pair, and 3pF from
pair to pair.
Feed-throughs,
through-hole
connections,
and
etch
lengths
need
to
be
carefully
balanced.
Standard
multi-layer power and ground plane spacing add about
1pF to each plane. Each feed-through will add about
2.5pF to 3.5pF. Enlarging the clearance holes on both
power and ground planes will reduce the capacitance.
Similarly, opening up the power and ground planes under
the
connector
will
reduce
the
capacitance
for
through-hole connector applications. Capacitance
will
also be affected by components, in close proximity,
above and below the circuit board.
Unitrode multi-mode terminators are designed with very
tight balance, typically 0.1pF between pins in a pair and
0.3pF between pairs. At each L+ pin, a ground driver
drives the pin to ground, while in single ended mode. The
ground driver is specially designed to not effect the ca-
pacitive balance of the bus when the device is in LVD or
disconnect mode.
Multi-layer boards need to adhere to the 120
imped-
ance standard, including the connectors and feed-
throughs. This is normally done on the outer layers with
4 mil etch and 4 mil spacing between runs within a pair,
and a minimum of 8 mil spacing to the adjacent pairs to
reduce crosstalk. Microstrip technology is normally too
low of impedance and should not be used. It is designed
for 50
rather than 120
differential systems. Careful
consideration must be given to the issue of heat manage-
ment. A multi-mode terminator, operating in SE mode,
will dissipate as much as 130mW of instantaneous power
per active line with TRMPWR = 5.25V. The UCC5673 is
offered in a 28 pin TSSOP. This package includes two
heat sink ground pins. These heat sink/ground pins are
directly connected to the die mount paddle under the die
and conduct heat from the die to reduce the junction tem-
perature. Both of the HS/GND pins need to be connected
to etch area or four feed-through per pin connecting to
the ground plane layer on a multi-layer board.
