Functional Descriptions

for an external chip reset if the power supply meets ramp up
specifications.

2.1.8.2 Warm Swap Enable (WS_ENABLE/)

This input removes the chip from an active bus without disturbing the
current SCSI transaction (for Warm Swap). When the WS_ENABLE/ pin
is asserted, after detection of the next bus free state, the SCSI signals
are 3-stated. This occurs so that the LSI53C180 no longer passes
through signals until the WS_ENABLE/ pin is deasserted HIGH and both
SCSI buses enter the Bus Free state. As an indication that the chip is
idle, or ready to be warm swapped, the XFER_ACTIVE signal deasserts
LOW. An LED or some other indicator could be connected to the
XFER_ACTIVE signal. To isolate buses in certain situations, use this
Warm Swap Enable feature.

2.1.8.3 Transfer Active (XFER_ACTIVE)

This output is an indication that the chip has finished its internal testing,
the SCSI bus has entered a Bus Free state, and SCSI traffic can now
