General Description

The DS2129 is a triple-output voltage regulator for 27-line, low-voltage-differential (LVD) SCSI termination for SPI-2 and SPI-3 applications using LVD termination networks. The device provides reference voltages and bias currents for LVD-termination resistor pi (π) net works. With a pi network (475Ω, 121Ω, 475Ω), the DS2129 meets the common-mode bias, differential bias, and termination-impedance requirements of SPI-2 (Ultra2) and SPI-3 (Ultra3). The device also provides a 1.3V output for DIFFSENSE signaling, and includes protection features such as thermal shutdown and active current limiting
