ARB[1:0] Arbitration Mode Bits 1 and 0 [7:6]
Simple Arbitration
1. The LSI53C810A waits for a bus free condition to
occur.
2. It asserts SBSY/ and its SCSI ID (contained in the
SCSI Chip ID (SCID) register) onto the SCSI bus. If
the SSEL/ signal is asserted by another SCSI
device, the LSI53C810A deasserts SBSY/,
deasserts its ID, and sets the Lost Arbitration bit
(bit 3) in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) register.
3. After an arbitration delay,the CPU should read the
SCSI Bus Data Lines (SBDL) register to check if a
higher priority SCSI ID is present. If no higher
priority ID bit is set, and the Lost Arbitration bit is not
set, the LSI53C810A wins arbitration.
4. Once the LSI53C810A wins arbitration, SSEL/ must
be asserted using the SCSI Output Control Latch
(SOCL) for a bus clear plus a bus settle delay
(1.2 ยตs) before a low level selection is performed.
Full Arbitration, Selection/Reselection
1. The LSI53C810A waits for a bus free condition.
2. It asserts SBSY/ and its SCSI ID (the highest priority
ID stored in the SCSI Chip ID (SCID) register) onto
the SCSI bus.
3. If the SSEL/ signal is asserted by another SCSI
device or if the LSI53C810A detects a higher priority
ID,the LSI53C810A deasserts BSY, deasserts its ID,
and waits until the next bus free state to try
arbitration again.
