1.8.3
Integration
The following features make the LSI53C1020 easy to integrate:
•
Is backward compatible with previous revisions of the PCI and SCSI
specifications
•
448-pin and 456-pin BGA packages are pin compatible with the
LSI53C1000R SCSI controller
•
Provides a low-risk migration path to Ultra320 SCSI from the
LSI53C1000R
•
Supports a full 32-bit or 64-bit PCI/PCI-X DMA bus master
•
Reduces time to market with the Fusion-MPT architecture
–
Single driver binary for SCSI and Fibre Channel products
–
Thin, easy to develop drivers
–
Reduced integration and certification effort
•
Provides integrated LVDlink transceivers
1.8.4
Flexibility
The following features increase the flexibility of the LSI53C1020:
•
Universal LVD transceivers are backward compatible with SE
devices
•
Provides a flexible programming interface to tune I/O performance or
to adapt to unique SCSI devices
•
Supports MSI or pin-based (INTA/ or ALT_INTA/) interrupt signaling
•
Can respond with multiple SCSI IDs
•
Is compatible with 3.3 V and 5.0 V PCI signaling
–
Drives and receives 3.3 V PCI signals
–
Receives 5.0 V PCI if the PCI5VBIAS pin connects to 5.0 V, but
does not drive 5.0 V signals on the PCI bus
