Register: 0x0C
DMA Status (DSTAT)
Read Only
Reading this register clears any bits that are set at the time the register
is read, but does not necessarily clear the register in case additional
interrupts are pending (the LSI53C1000R stacks interrupts). The DIP bit
in the
Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0)
register is also cleared. It is possible
to mask DMA interrupt conditions individually through the
register.
When performing consecutive 8-bit reads of the
SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0)
, and
SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1)
registers (in any order), insert a delay equivalent to 12 clock periods
between the reads to ensure that the interrupts clear properly. Refer to
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.
