Definition

 

 

 

 

4

Bus free delay

800 ns

The minimum time that an SCSI device shall wait from

 

 

 

its detection of the BUS FREE phase (BSY and SEL both

 

 

 

false for a bus settle delay) until its assertion of BSY

 

 

 

when going to the ARBITRATION phase

 

 

 

 

5

Bus set delay

1.8 os

The maximum time for an SCSI device to assert BSY and

 

 

 

its SCSI ID bit on the DATA BUS after it detects BUS

 

 

 

FREE phase (BSY and SEL both false for a bus settle

 

 

 

delay) for the purpose of entering the ARBITRATION

 

 

 

phase

 

 

 

 

6

Bus settle

400 ns

The minimum time to wait for the bus to settle after

 

delay

 

changing certain control signals as called out in the

 

 

 

protocol definitions

 

 

 

 

7

Cable skew

10 ns

The maximum difference in propagation time allowed

 

delay

 

between any two SCSI bus signals measured between

 

 

 

any two SCSI devices

 

 

 

 

8

Data release

400 ns

The maximum time for an initiator to release the DATA

 

delay

 

BUS signals following the transition of the I/O signal

 

 

 

from false to true

 

 

 

 

9

Deskew delay

45 ns

The minimum time required for deskew of certain

 

 

 

signals

 

 

 

 

10

Disconnection

200 os

The minimum time that a target shall wait after

 

delay

 

releasing BSY before participating in an ARBITRATION

 

 

 

phase when honoring a DISCONNECT message from the

 

 

 

initiator

 

 

 

 

11

Hold time

45 ns

The minimum time added between the assertion of REQ

 

 

 

(or REQB) or ACK (or ACKB) and the changing of the

 

 

 

data lines to provide hold time in the initiator or target

 

 

 

while using synchronous data transfers. REQB and

 

 

 

ACKB timings only apply to optional wide data

 

 

 

transfers.

 

 

 

 

12

Negation

90 ns

The minimum time that a target shall negate REQ (or

 

period

 

REQB) while using synchronous data transfers. Also,

 

 

 

the minimum time that an initiator shall negate ACK (or

 

 

 

ACKB) while using synchronous data transfers. REQB

 

 

 

and ACKB timings only apply to optional wide data

 

 

 

transfers.

 

 

 

 

13

Power>on to

10 sec

The recommended maximum time from power

 

selection time

(recom>

application until an SCSI target is able to respond with

 

 

mended)

appropriate status and sense data to the TEST UNIT

 

 

 

READY, INQUIRY, and REQUEST SENSE commands
