1.1 General Description
The LSI53C1010R PCI to Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI Multifunction
Controller brings Ultra160 SCSI performance to host adapter,
workstation, and server designs, making it easy to add a
high-performance SCSI bus to any PCI system. Features incorporated in
this chip include double transition (DT) clocking, cyclic redundancy check
(CRC), and domain validation. These features comply with the Utra160
SCSI industry initiative.
DT clocking permits the LSI53C1010R to transfer data up to 160 Mbytes/s
on each channel, for a total of 320 Mbytes/s. CRC improves the integrity
of the SCSI data transmission through enhanced detection of
communication errors. Asynchronous Information Protection (AIP)
augments CRC to protect all nondata phases, providing complete
end-to-end protection of the SCSI I/O. The SURElink™ domain validation
