Registers

Registers: 0x10–0x13 (0x90–0x93)

Data Structure Address (DSA)
Read/Write

DSA

Data Structure Address

[31:0]

This 32-bit register contains the base address used for all
table indirect calculations. The

Data Structure Address

(DSA)

register is usually loaded prior to starting an I/O,

but it is possible for a SCRIPTS Memory Move to load the
DSA during the I/O.

During any Memory-to-Memory Move operation, the
contents of this register is preserved. The power-up value
of this register is indeterminate.

Register: 0x14 (0x94)

Interrupt Status (ISTAT)
Read/Write

This is the only register that is accessible by the host CPU while a
LSI53C825A is executing SCRIPTS (without interfering in the operation
of the function). It is used to poll for interrupts if hardware interrupts are
disabled. Read this register after servicing an interrupt to check for
stacked interrupts. For more information on interrupt handling refer to

Chapter 2, “Functional Description.”

ABRT

Abort Operation

7

Setting this bit aborts the current operation under
execution by the LSI53C825A. If this bit is set and an
interrupt is received, clear this bit before reading the

DMA

Status (DSTAT)

register to prevent further aborted

interrupts from being generated. The sequence to abort
any operation is:

1. Set this bit.
