As part of LSI Logic’s SCSI host adapter product family, the LSIU80LVD
PCI-Ultra2 SCSI host bus adapter is ideal for direct attach storage of tape and
optical drive/libraries to a workstation or server. The Ultra2 LVD connection
offers higher performance at 80 MBps, longer cable length of 12 meters and
higher reliability than Ultra SCSI at an affordable price. The LSIU80LVD
supports wide (16-bit) Ultra2, Ultra, and Fast SCSI devices.
System design flexibility is provided by the LSIU80LVD’s ability to auto-
matically switch from single-ended operation for legacy Fast/Ultra devices to
universal low voltage differential (LVD) operation when LVD enabled or
Ultra2 devices are connected. The LSIU80LVD HBA incorporates LSI Logic’s
LVDlink
(Low Voltage Differential) technology for superior performance,
device connectivity and greater signal reliability. The LVDlink transceivers
provide the data reliability of differential signaling without the high cost of
high voltage differential (HVD) transceivers
