Three programmable SCSI timers: Select/Reselect, Handshake-to-

Handshake, and General Purpose. The time-out period is programmable from 100 μs to greater than 1.6 seconds

SDMS software for complete PC-based operating system support

Support for relative jump

New SCSI Selected As ID (SSAID) bits for use when responding with multiple IDs

1.2.5Flexibility

The LSI53C810A provides:

High level programming interface (SCSI SCRIPTS)

Support for execution of tailored SCSI sequences from main system

RAM

Flexible programming interface to tune I/O performance or to adapt to unique SCSI devices

Flexibility to accommodate changes in the logical I/O interface definition

Low level access to all registers and all SCSI bus signals

Fetch, Master, and Memory Access control pins

Support for indirect fetching of DMA address and byte counts so that SCRIPTS can be placed in a PROM

Separate SCSI and system clocks

Selectable IRQ pin disable bit

Ability to route system clock to SCSI clock

1.2.6Reliability

Enhanced reliability features of the LSI53C810A include:

2 kV ESD protection on SCSI signals

Typical 300 mV SCSI bus hysteresis

Average operating supply current of 50 mA

Protection against bus reflections due to impedance mismatches
