LSI53C876 Benefits

1-7

1.3.4 Integration

The LSI53C876 contains these integration features:

Dual channel SCSI multifunction controller.

3.3 V/5 V PCI interface.

Full 32-bit PCI DMA bus master.

Memory-to-Memory Move instructions allow use as a third-party PCI
bus DMA controller.

High-performance SCSI core.

Integrated SCRIPTS processor.

1.3.5 Reliability

The LSI53C876 contains these reliability features:

2 kV ESD protection on SCSI signals.

Typical 300 mV SCSI bus hysteresis.

Protection against bus reflections due to impedance mismatches.

Controlled bus assertion times (reduces EMI, improves reliability, and
eases FCC certification).

Latch-up protection greater than 150 mA.

Voltage feed-through protection (minimum leakage current through
SCSI pads).

Power and ground isolation of I/O pads and internal chip logic.

TolerANT technology, which provides:

Active negation of SCSI Data, Parity, Request, and Acknowledge
signals for improved fast SCSI transfer rates.

Input signal filtering on SCSI receivers improves data integrity,
even in noisy cabling environments.
