in the

Interrupt Status (ISTAT)

register is also cleared. It is possible to

mask DMA interrupt conditions individually through the

DMA Interrupt

Enable (DIEN)

register.

When performing consecutive 8-bit reads of the

DMA Status (DSTAT)

,

SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0)

and

SCSI Interrupt Status One

(SIST1)

registers (in any order), insert a delay equivalent to 12 CLK

periods between the reads to ensure that the interrupts clear properly.
See

Chapter 2, “Functional Description,”

for more information on

interrupts.

DFE

DMA FIFO Empty

7

This status bit is set when the DMA FIFO is empty. It is
possible to use it to determine if any data resides in the
FIFO when an error occurs and an interrupt is generated.
This bit is a pure status bit and does not cause an
interrupt.

MDPE

Master Data Parity Error

6

This bit is set when the LSI53C810A as a master detects
a data parity error, or a target device signals a parity error
during a data phase. This bit is completely disabled by
the Master Parity Error Enable bit (bit 3 of

Chip Test Four

(CTEST4)

).

BF

Bus Fault

5

This bit is set when a PCI bus fault condition is detected.
A PCI bus fault can only occur when the LSI53C810A is
bus master, and is defined as a cycle that ends with a
Bad Address or Target Abort Condition.

ABRT

Aborted

4

This bit is set when an abort condition occurs. An abort
condition occurs when a software abort command is
issued by setting bit 7 of the

Interrupt Status (ISTAT)

register.

SSI

Single Step Interrupt

3

If the Single Step Mode bit in the

DMA Control (DCNTL)

register is set, this bit is set and an interrupt is generated
after successful execution of each SCRIPTS instruction.

SIR

SCRIPTS Interrupt Instruction Received

2

This status bit is set whenever an Interrupt instruction is
evaluated as true.
