LSI53C825A Benefits Summary
1-7
1.4.5 Flexibility
The LSI53C825A contains these flexibility features:
•
High level programming interface (SCSI SCRIPTS)
•
Programs local memory bus Flash memory
•
Big/little endian support
•
Selectable 88-byte or 536-byte DMA FIFO for backward compatibility
•
Tailored SCSI sequences execute from main system RAM or internal
SCRIPTS RAM
•
Flexible programming interface to tune I/O performance or to adapt
to unique SCSI devices
•
Support for changes in the logical I/O interface definition
•
Low level access to all registers and all SCSI bus signals
•
Fetch, Master, and Memory Access control pins
•
Separate SCSI and system clocks
•
Selectable IRQ pins disable bit
•
32 additional scratch pad registers
•
Ability to route system clock to SCSI clock
1.4.6 Reliability
The LSI53C825A 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 RFI, improves reliability, and
eases FCC certification)
•
Latch-up protection greater than 150 mA
•
Voltage feed-through protection (minimum leakage current through
SCSI pads)
•
25% of pins are power and ground
•
Power and ground isolation of I/O pads and internal chip logic
