SCSI Interface
Electrical Interface for AHA-1740A/1742A
As specified by ANSI X3.131-1986 for single-ended operation.
Output Signals
All signals use open collector or three-state drivers. Each signal driven by a SCSI de-
vice has the following output characteristics when measured at the SCSI device's
connector:
Signal
V
OL

OH
Input Signals
SCSI inputs meet the following electrical characteristics on each signal (including
both receivers and passive drivers):

Minimum input hysteresis = 0.2 volts DC.
Maximum input capacitance = 25 pF (measured at the device connector closest to the stub, if
any, within the device).
