LOW VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL
(LVD) SCSI CABLES Building on its long tradition of industry leadership in SCSI cable technology,
Eagle Design Group is
prototyping and manufacturing low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI cables. .
The low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI standard is being developed by the X3T10 SCSI Parallel Interface 2 (SPI-2) working
group charged with extending the viability of parallel SCSI I/O technology into the twenty-first century. LVD is a robust-design methodology that
improves power consumption, data integrity, cable lengths and support for multiple devices while providing a migration path for increased I/O performance.
The new SCSI standard reduces the power needed to drive the bus, lowers the amplitude of noise reflections, and allows for higher transmission frequencies. The differential signaling does an excellent job of
canceling out signal noise
due to external sources allowing systems to utilize up to 12 meter cable lengths while attaching up to 16 devices to an LVD SCSI bus.
Ultra2, the newest of the SCSI standards, can transfer
up to 80MB/sec
across the entire SCSI bus, or approximately 2x the speed of UltraWide SCSI and up to 8x the speed of conventional Fast SCSI. This new standard also utilizes a new transceiver technology called Low-Voltage
Differential (LVD), offering full compatibility with older SCSI devices while increasing the total cable length to 12 meters.
In addition, the low
voltage/current component of the LVD bus allows transceivers to be implemented in 3.3V CMOS.
