Abstract

See full text

A low-voltage differential dual receiver for a SCSI bus uses a symmetrical driver by doing without a termination bias voltage. The data phase and protocol phase of SCSI communication are separated by using two receivers and optimizing each receiver for its particular function. A high-speed receiver is used when transmitting data at high-speeds, and a lower performance, low-speed receiver is used for other SCSI phases. A built-in offset allows the low-speed receiver to operate correctly during bus arbitration. The built-in offset in the low-speed receiver takes the place of the termination bias voltage in a traditional SCSI bus and is implemented in a variety of ways.
