SCSI Registers
4-91
SZM
SCSI High Impedance Mode
3
Setting this bit places all the open drain 48 mA SCSI
drivers into a high impedance state. This is to allow
internal loopback mode operation without affecting the
SCSI bus.
AWS
Always Wide SCSI
2
When this bit is set, all SCSI information transfers are
done in 16-bit wide mode. This includes data, message,
command, status, and reserved phases. Normally,
deassert this bit since 16-bit wide message, command,
and status phases are not supported by the SCSI
specifications.
EXT
Extend SREQ/SACK Filtering
1
LSI Logic TolerANT SCSI receiver technology includes a
special digital filter on the SREQ/ and SACK/ pins which
causes the disregarding of glitches on deasserting
edges. Setting this bit increases the filtering period from
30 ns to 60 ns on the deasserting edge of the SREQ/ and
SACK/ signals.
Note:
Never set this bit during fast SCSI (greater than
5 megatransfers per second) operations, because a valid
assertion could be treated as a glitch.
LOW
SCSI Low level Mode
0
Setting this bit places the LSI53C876 SCSI function in
low level mode. In this mode, no DMA operations occur,
and no SCRIPTS execute. Arbitration and selection may
be performed by setting the start sequence bit as
described in the
register.
SCSI bus transfers are performed by manually asserting
and polling SCSI signals. Clearing this bit allows
instructions to be executed in SCSI SCRIPTS mode.
Note:
It is not necessary to set this bit for access to the SCSI
bit-level registers (
,
, and input registers).
