Microsemi Introduces 9-Line Multimode and Low Voltage Differential SCSI Termination Integrated Circuits for Ultra320
Wednesday August 20, 8:32 am ET
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 20, 2003--Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq:MSCC - News):
* 9-Line Multimode IC Offered in Three Surface Mount Packages
* Low Voltage Differential IC Provides Lower Output Capacitance
* Supports Portfolio Aimed at Server Market
Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq:MSCC - News), a leading manufacturer of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits, announced today that its Integrated Products Group has introduced two new SCSI termination devices for Ultra320 systems; one a 9-line multimode IC and the other a 9-line low voltage differential terminator IC.
Designated the LX5250(TM) and LX5251(TM), to distinguish certain surface mount packaging options, the new 9-line multimode devices are compliant with SCSI SPI-2 (Ultra2), SPI-3 (Ultra 160), and SPI-4 (Ultra320) specification standards and offer auto-selectable single-ended or low voltage differential (LVD) termination.
"Our new SCSI termination devices are designed to offer the most popular technical and packaging options required for 9-line applications in today's server market," said Mike Nastasi, SCSI products and applications manager at Microsemi's Integrated Products Group.
By supporting LVD alone, the LX5255(TM) device provides lower output capacitance than is possible with multimode designs. It is compliant with the same three specification standards.
The LX5250 is available in a choice of 36-pin QSOP or 28-pin TSSOP plastic packages, priced at $1.98 and $1.58 respectively in 10K quantities. The LX5251 and LX5255 are both offered in 24-pin TSSOP packages. In 10K quantities they are priced at $1.72 and $1.31 respectively.
Complete technical information is available on the Microsemi web site, www.Microsemi.com. Samples can be ordered through this site, or from Microsemi sales representatives and franchised distributors.
