Operating Registers

4-47

used for asynchronous transfers. It is possible to use this
bit to determine how many bytes reside in the chip when
an error occurs.

FF4

FIFO Flags, Bit 4

4

This is the most significant bit in the SCSI FIFO Flags
field, with the rest of the bits in

SCSI Status One

(SSTAT1)

. For a complete description of this field, see the

definition for

SCSI Status One (SSTAT1)

, bits [7:4].

SPL1

Latched SCSI parity for SD[15:8]

3

This active HIGH bit reflects the SCSI odd parity signal
corresponding to the data latched into the most
significant byte in the

SCSI Input Data Latch (SIDL)

register.

DIFF

Diffsens Mismatch

2

If this bit is reset, the correct cable type has been
connected for the differential operation. If this bit is set, a
SE cable has been connected to the device’s DIFFSENS
pin.

LDSC

Last Disconnect

1

This bit is used in conjunction with the Connected (CON)
bit in

SCSI Control One (SCNTL1)

. It allows the user to

detect the case in which a target device disconnects, and
then some SCSI device selects or reselects the
LSI53C825A. If the Connected bit is asserted and the
LDSC bit is asserted, a disconnect is indicated. This bit
is set when the Connected bit in

SCSI Control One

(SCNTL1)

is off. This bit is cleared when a Block Move

instruction is executed while the Connected bit in

SCSI

Control One (SCNTL1)

is on.

SDP1

SCSI SDP1 Parity Signal

0

This bit represents the present state of the SCSI SDP1/
parity signal. It is unlatched and may change as it is read.
