2.2.7 SCSI Bus Interface

All SCSI signals are active LOW. The LSI53C876 contains the SE output
drivers and can be connected directly to the SCSI bus. Each output is
isolated from the power supply to ensure that a powered-down
LSI53C876 has no effect on an active SCSI bus (CMOS “voltage
feed-through” phenomena). TolerANT technology provides signal filtering
at the inputs of SREQ/ and SACK/ to increase immunity to signal
reflections.

2.2.7.1 Differential Mode

In differential mode, the SDIR[15:0], SDIRP[1:0], IGS, TGS, RSTDIR,
BSYDIR, and SELDIR signals control the direction of external differential
pair transceivers. The LSI53C876 is placed in differential mode by setting
the DIF bit, bit 5 of the

SCSI Test Two (STEST2)

register (0x4E). Setting

this bit 3-states the BSY/, SEL/, and RST/ pads so they can be used as
pure input pins. When TolerANT active negation is enabled, the
recommended resistor value on the REQ/, ACK/, MSG/, C_D/, I_O/,
