• On the differential SCSI bus, signal information is sent through a wire pair. The

voltage difference between the pair of signal wires determines the state of the
signal.

• A true DIFFSENS signal (active high) enables the differential drivers. If a single-

ended device or terminator is inadvertently connected, this signal is grounded,
disabling the differential drivers. Single-ended and differential SCSI devices cannot
coexist on the same bus.

• All wire pairs must be terminated. Resistor tolerances in the terminator network are

±5 percent, or less.

• The signal pair is terminated with a 150

Ω resistor between the pairs, a 330Ω pull-up

resistor to terminator power and a 330

Ω pull-down resistor to ground.
