GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The SSC050-01 I2C Backplane Controller is an integrated CMOS circuit that significantly reduces system cost by integrating all of the digital logic typically required to monitor a storage enclosure. The SSC050-01 may be used in any embedded control application including parallel SCSI, Fibre Channel or any other application where the monitoring and control of a large number of digital I/O signals is required. Programming the SSC050-01 is easy through a convenient programming model, which reduces the overall duration of the design-in cycle. Data is read from and written to the device over an addressable I2C serial interface, allowing multiple SSC050-01 devices on a single two-wire bus.

FEATURES:
► Up to 40 Bits of 5 Volt Tolerant, User-definable, Bi-directional General Purpose I/O
► Slave mode I2C serial interface
► Flexible FC-AL Port Bypass Control Logic
► Four Programmable Fan Speed Monitoring Inputs
► Four Programmable Pulse Width Modulated Fan Control Outputs
► Pairing of GPI/O Pins for Direct Input/Output Signal Routing/Buffering
► Selectable Direct LED Drive Flashing Capability
► Pin-programmable Addressing for up to 16 Devices on a Single Serial Bus

APPLICATIONS:
► Any Embedded Control Application Including:
    - SCSI and Fibre Channel JBODs or SBODs
    - Disk Arrays
    - RAID Subsystems
    - Servers
    - Telecommunication Equipment
