Bits Used for Parity Control and Generation

BIt Name

Location

Description

Assert SATN/ on Parity
Errors

SCSI Control
Zero (SCNTL0)

,

Bit 1

Causes the LSI53C876 to automatically assert SATN/
when it detects a parity error while operating as an
initiator.

Enable Parity Checking

SCSI Control
Zero (SCNTL0)

,

Bit 3

Enables the LSI53C876 to check for parity errors. The
LSI53C876 checks for odd parity.

Assert Even SCSI Parity

SCSI Control
One (SCNTL1)

,

Bit 2

Determines the SCSI parity sense generated by the
LSI53C876 to the SCSI bus.

Disable Halt on SATN/ or
a Parity Error (Target
Mode Only)

SCSI Control
One (SCNTL1)

,

Bit 5

Causes the LSI53C876 not to halt operations when a
parity error is detected in target mode.

Enable Parity Error
Interrupt

SCSI Interrupt
Enable Zero
(SIEN0)

, Bit 0

Determines whether the LSI53C876 generates an
interrupt when it detects a SCSI parity error.

Parity Error

SCSI Interrupt
Status Zero
(SIST0)

, Bit 0

This status bit is set whenever the LSI53C876 detects
a parity error on the SCSI bus.

Status of SCSI Parity
Signal

SCSI Status Zero
(SSTAT0)

, Bit 0

This status bit represents the active HIGH current state
of the SCSI SDP0 parity signal.

SCSI SDP1 Signal

SCSI Status Two
(SSTAT2)

, Bit 0

This bit represents the active HIGH current state of the
SCSI SDP1 parity signal.

Latched SCSI Parity

SCSI Status Two
(SSTAT2)

, Bit 3

and

SCSI Status

One (SSTAT1)

,

Bit 3

These bits reflect the SCSI odd parity signal
corresponding to the data latched into the

SCSI Input

Data Latch (SIDL)

register.

Master Parity Error
Enable

Chip Test Four
(CTEST4)

, Bit 3

Enables parity checking during master data phases.

Master Data Parity Error

DMA Status
(DSTAT)

, Bit 6

Set when the LSI53C876, as a PCI master, detects a
target device signaling a parity error during a data
phase.

Master Data Parity Error
Interrupt Enable

DMA Interrupt
Enable (DIEN)

,

Bit 6

By clearing this bit, a Master Data Parity Error does not
cause assertion of INTA/ (or INTB/), but the status bit
is set in the

DMA Status (DSTAT)

register.
