Product Description
The PRN103/153/125/155 is a high performance
Integrated Passive Device (IPD) designed to eliminate
transmission line effects on high-speed data lines on a
special bus called SCSI (Small Computer Systems
Interface). SCSI is a bus interface covered by an ANSI
standard that allows for an input/output bus to connect
small computers with a variety of peripheral devices.
Proper resistor termination requires a resistor whose
value closely matches the characteristic impedance of
the transmission line. Thin film networks offer significant
advantages over conventional thick film processes in
terms of tighter absolute and ratio tolerances, greater
stability, lower noise, and Temperature Coefficient of
Resistance (TCR). Furthermore, they offer superior high
frequency performance with minimal parasitic induc-
tance and capacitance. Integrated thin film networks
also offer the benefits of board space savings, reduced
assembly costs, and increased reliability with fewer
components.
