Description

 

 

 

Assert SATN/ on

SCSI Control Zero

Causes the LSI53C875A to automatically assert SATN/

Parity Errors

 

(SCNTL0), Bit 1

when it detects a SCSI parity error while operating as an

 

 

 

initiator.

 

 

 

 

Enable Parity

 

SCSI Control Zero

Enables the LSI53C875A to check for parity errors. The

Checking

 

(SCNTL0), Bit 3

LSI53C875A checks for odd parity.

 

 

 

Assert Even SCSI

SCSI Control One

Determines the SCSI parity sense generated by the

Parity

 

(SCNTL1), Bit 2

LSI53C875A to the SCSI bus.

 

 

 

Disable Halt on

SCSI Control One

Causes the LSI53C875A not to halt operations when a

SATN/ or a Parity

(SCNTL1), Bit 5

parity error is detected in target mode.

Error (Target Mode

 

 

Only)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable Parity Error

SCSI Interrupt

Determines whether the LSI53C875A generates an

Interrupt

 

Enable Zero

interrupt when it detects a SCSI parity error.

 

 

(SIEN0), Bit 0

 

 

 

 

 

Parity Error

 

SCSI Interrupt

This status bit is set whenever the LSI53C875A detects a

 

 

Status Zero

parity error on the SCSI bus.

 

 

(SIST0), Bit 0

 

 

 

 

Status of SCSI

SCSI Status Zero

This status bit represents the active HIGH current state of

Parity Signal

 

(SSTAT0), Bit 0

the SCSI SDP0 parity signal.

 

 

 

SCSI SDP1 Signal

SCSI Status Two

This bit represents the active HIGH current state of the

 

 

(SSTAT2), Bit 0

SCSI SDP1 parity signal.

 

 

 

Latched SCSI Parity

SSTAT 2, Bit 3 and

These bits reflect the SCSI odd parity signal

 

 

SCSI Status One

corresponding to the data latched into the SCSI Input

 

 

(SSTAT1), Bit 3

Data Latch (SIDL) register.

 

 

 

Master Parity Error

Chip Test Four

Enables parity checking during PCI master data phases.

Enable

 

(CTEST4), Bit 3

 

 

 

 

Master Data Parity

DMA Status

Set when the LSI53C875A, as a PCI master, detects a

Error

 

(DSTAT), Bit 6

target device signaling a parity error during a data phase.

 

 

 

Master Data Parity

DMA Interrupt

By clearing this bit, a Master Data Parity Error does not

Error Interrupt

Enable (DIEN),

cause assertion of INTA/ (or INTB/), but the status bit is

Enable

 

Bit 6

set in the DMA Status (DSTAT) register.
