SLVS066C - NOVEMBER 1991 - REVISED AUGUST 1995
The TL2217-285 is a low-dropout (1-V) fixed-voltage regulator specifically designed for small computer systems interface (SCSI) alternative 2 active signal termination. The TL2217-285 1-V maximum dropout ensures compatibility with existing SCSI systems, while providing a wide TERMPWR voltage range. At the same time, the ±1.5% initial tolerance on its 2.85-V output voltage ensures a tighter line driver current tolerance, thereby increasing system noise margin.
The fixed 2.85-V output voltage of TL2217-285 supports the SCSI alternative 2 termination standard while reducing system power consumption. The 1-V maximum dropout voltage birings increased TERMPWR isolation, making the device ideal for battery-powered systems. The TL2217-285, with internal current limiting, overvoltage protection, ESD protection, and thermal protection, offers designers enhance system protection and reliability.
When configured as a SCSI active terminator, the TL2217-285 low-dropout regulator eliminates the 220-
and 330- resistors required for each transmission line with a passive termination scheme, reducing significantly the continuous system power drain. When placed in series with 110- resistors, the device matches the impedance level of the transmission cable and eliminates reflections.
The TL2217-285 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 125°C virtual junction temperature.
