SCSI Registers

4-93

HSC

Halt SCSI Clock

5

Asserting this bit causes the internal divided SCSI clock
to come to a stop in a glitchless manner. This bit is used
for test purposes or to lower I

DD

during a power-down

mode.

DSI

Disable Single Initiator Response

4

If this bit is set, the LSI53C876 SCSI function ignores all
bus-initiated selection attempts that employ the single
initiator option from SCSI-1. In order to select the
LSI53C876 SCSI function while this bit is set, the
LSI53C876 SCSI function’s SCSI ID and the initiator’s
SCSI ID must both be asserted. Assert this bit in
SCSI-2 systems so that a single bit error on the SCSI bus
is not interpreted as a single initiator response.

CHECKHI

Check High Parity

3

If this bit is set, all devices in the SCSI system
implementation are assumed to be 16-bit. This causes
the LSI53C876 to always check the parity bit for SCSI
IDs [15:8] during bus-initiated selection or reselection,
assuming parity checking has been enabled. If an 8-bit
SCSI device attempts to select the LSI53C876 while this
bit is set, the chip ignores the selection attempt. This is
because the parity bit for IDs [15:8] is undriven. See the
description of the Enable Parity Checking bit in the

SCSI

Control Zero (SCNTL0)

register for more information.

TTM

Timer Test Mode

2

Asserting this bit facilitates testing of the selection
time-out, general purpose, and handshake-to-handshake
timers by greatly reducing all three time-out periods.
Setting this bit starts all three timers and if the respective
bits in the

SCSI Interrupt Enable One (SIEN1)

register

are asserted, the LSI53C876 SCSI function generates
interrupts at time-out. This bit is intended for internal
manufacturing diagnosis and should not be used.

CSF

Clear SCSI FIFO

1

Setting this bit causes the “full flags” for the SCSI FIFO
to be cleared. This empties the FIFO. This bit is
self-clearing. In addition to the SCSI FIFO pointers, the

SCSI Input Data Latch (SIDL)

,

SCSI Output Data Latch

(SODL)

, and SODR full bits in the

SCSI Status Zero

(SSTAT0)

and

SCSI Status Two (SSTAT2)

are cleared.
