SCSI Test Three (STEST3)
Read/Write

TE

TolerANT Enable

7

Setting this bit enables the active negation portion of
LSI Logic TolerANT technology. Active negation causes
the SCSI Request, Acknowledge, Data, and Parity
signals to be actively deasserted, instead of relying on
external pull-ups, when the LSI53C876 SCSI function is
driving these signals. Active deassertion of these signals
occurs only when the LSI53C876 SCSI function is in an
information transfer phase. When operating in a
differential environment or at fast SCSI timings, TolerANT
Active negation should be enabled to improve setup and
deassertion times. Active negation is disabled after reset
or when this bit is cleared. For more information on
LSI Logic TolerANT technology, see

Chapter 1, “General

Description.”

Note:

Set this bit if the Enable Ultra SCSI bit in

SCSI Control

Three (SCNTL3)

is set.

STR

SCSI FIFO Test Read

6

Setting this bit places the SCSI core into a test mode in
which the SCSI FIFO is easily read. Reading the least
significant byte of the

SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL)

register causes the FIFO to unload. The functions are
summarized in the table below.
