2.2.11 Parity Options

The LSI53C875A implements a flexible parity scheme that allows control of the parity sense, allows parity checking to be turned on or off, and has the ability to deliberately send a byte with bad parity over the SCSI bus to test parity error recovery procedures. Table 2.3 defines the bits that are involved in parity control and observation. Table 2.4 describes the parity control function of the Enable Parity Checking and Assert SCSI Even Parity bits in the SCSI Control One (SCNTL1) register, bit 2. Table 2.5 describes the options available when a parity error occurs. Figure 2.2 shows where parity checking is done in the LSI53C875A.
