Product details
Overview
DS21T07S/T&R from Dallas Semiconductor (now Maxim Integrated) is a monolithic SCSI active terminator IC for Fast and Ultra SCSI single-ended buses. It integrates nine laser-trimmed 110 Ω termination resistors, a low-dropout 2.85 V regulator, power-down control (PD), and thermal shutdown. It provides active termination for nine signal lines and supports hot-plug operation in disk drive and RAID controller applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS21T07S/T&R datasheet, DS21T07S/T&R pinout, DS21T07S/T&R application, or DS21T07S/T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include termination resistance tolerance (±2%), TERMPWR voltage range (4.0–5.5 V), quiescent current (5 mA), power-down isolation capability, and SOIC-16 footprint compatibility with legacy SCSI designs.
Technical Context
The DS21T07S/T&R implements a bandgap reference (2.55 V) buffered to 2.85 V output, capable of sourcing ≥24 mA per termination line and sinking ≥200 mA for actively negated SCSI signals. Its internal 50 kΩ pull-up on PD enables open-circuit activation and logic-low deactivation.
It requires external 4.7 µF decoupling between VREF1/VREF2 and ground, dual TERMPWR connections (TERMPWR1/TERMPWR2), and HS-GND thermal pad handling. Operation is validated across 0°C to 70°C with thermal shutdown at 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Termination Resistance | 108–112 Ω (laser-trimmed ±2% tolerance ensures stable impedance matching on SCSI bus) |
| Reference Voltage | 2.79–2.93 V (regulated 2.85 V typical output powers termination network reliably) |
| TERMPWR Range | 4.0–5.5 V (supports standard SCSI TERMPWR rail without external regulation) |
| Quiescent Current | 5 mA (low standby consumption preserves bus power integrity) |
| Power-Down Current | 100–150 µA (enables electrical isolation during hot-swap without physical removal) |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.50–0.75 V (allows operation even with marginal TERMPWR sag) |
| Sink Current | 200 mA (handles actively negated SCSI signals without reference shift >60 mV) |
Pinout & Package
DS21T07S/T&R is housed in a 16-pin plastic SOIC (300-mil width, 0.402–0.412 inch body length) with exposed heat-sink ground (HS-GND) on the underside. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | TERMPWR1 | Primary termination power input; must connect to SCSI TERMPWR and decouple with 2.2–4.7 µF capacitor |
| 2 | R1 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 1 |
| 3 | R2 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 2 |

| 5 | R4 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 4 |
| 6 | R5 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 5 |
| 7 | VREF1 | Regulator reference node; externally tied to VREF2 and decoupled with 4.7 µF capacitor |
| 8 | GND | Signal ground reference (0 V); separate from HS-GND thermal pad |
| 9 | TERMPWR2 | Secondary termination power input; redundant TERMPWR connection for noise immunity |
| 10 | R6 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 6 |
| 11 | R7 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 7 |
| 12 | R8 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 8 |
| 13 | R9 | Signal termination resistor (110 Ω) for SCSI signal line 9 |
| 14 | NC | No-connect pin; must remain unconnected |
| 15 | VREF2 | Second regulator reference node; externally shorted to VREF1 |
| 16 | PD | Power-down control input; internal 50 kΩ pull-up; driven low to isolate terminators from bus |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Termination for 9 Lines | Integrates nine precision 110 Ω resistors-eliminates discrete resistor networks and improves impedance stability |
| Laser-Trimmed Resistors | ±2% tolerance ensures consistent signal integrity across temperature and unit-to-unit variation |
| Integrated Low-Dropout Regulator | Delivers stable 2.85 V reference from 4.0–5.5 V TERMPWR-removes need for external LDO |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SCSI termination applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS21T07E | 20-pin TSSOP package; identical electrical specs; includes dedicated HS-GND pins (pins 2,8,12,18) | Requires different PCB footprint and thermal layout; better suited for high-density or thermally constrained boards | Select DS21T07E when board space is limited and thermal management via exposed pad is prioritized over SOIC compatibility |
| MAX3218CPE+ | Not a functional equivalent-this is a RS-232 transceiver; excluded due to incorrect function match | N/A - invalid alternative | Not recommended; DS21T07S/T&R has no direct pin-compatible replacement outside Dallas/Maxim's own family |
Compared with DS21T07E, DS21T07S/T&R offers proven SOIC-16 compatibility for legacy designs but lacks dedicated thermal pads; neither part has verified drop-in alternatives from other manufacturers-designers should retain DS21T07S/T&R for continuity unless migrating to TSSOP layout.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS21T07S/T&R in a SCSI system?
The DS21T07S/T&R serves as a monolithic active SCSI terminator, providing nine precisely matched 110 Ω termination resistors and an integrated 2.85 V regulator. It replaces discrete resistor networks and external regulators on Fast and Ultra SCSI buses, ensuring signal integrity, noise immunity, and TERMPWR decoupling. The DS21T07S/T&R is designed for use at both ends of SCSI cable segments in single-ended configurations.
How does the power-down (PD) feature of the DS21T07S/T&R work?
The PD pin on the DS21T07S/T&R features an internal 50 kΩ pull-up resistor. Leaving PD open-circuited activates the device; driving PD low places it into power-down mode, turning off all internal termination transistors and isolating the DS21T07S/T&R electrically from the SCSI bus. This enables hot-plug compatibility without physical removal-critical for RAID and modular storage systems using the DS21T07S/T&R.
What external components are required for proper operation of the DS21T07S/T&R?
The DS21T07S/T&R requires two external capacitors: a 4.7 µF tantalum capacitor between VREF1 and VREF2 (tied together externally) and ground, plus either a 2.2 µF or 4.7 µF capacitor on each TERMPWR pin (TERMPWR1 and TERMPWR2). A 0.1 µF high-frequency bypass capacitor may also be added in parallel with the 4.7 µF VREF capacitor for fast-edge applications. No additional regulators or resistors are needed-the DS21T07S/T&R integrates all core termination functions.
Can the DS21T07S/T&R be used in 16-bit Wide SCSI configurations?
Yes-the DS21T07S/T&R terminates nine signal lines, so three DS21T07S/T&R devices are required per end of a 16-bit Wide SCSI bus (which has 27 active signal lines). Two DS21T07S/T&R units handle the 18 lines of an 8-bit bus. Each DS21T07S/T&R must be independently powered via TERMPWR1/TERMPWR2 and share common VREF1/VREF2 decoupling. This modular approach maintains design flexibility while ensuring full compliance with Ultra SCSI specifications.
Is the DS21T07S/T&R RoHS compliant and lead-free?
The DS21T07S/T&R was originally manufactured prior to mandatory RoHS implementation and is not inherently lead-free. However, Maxim Integrated (as successor to Dallas Semiconductor) offers qualified lead-free and RoHS-compliant versions under updated part numbers such as DS21T07S+ or DS21T07S-T. Customers requiring RoHS compliance must verify the specific date code and packaging suffix with Aetrix Electronics, as legacy DS21T07S/T&R reels may contain SnPb terminations.
