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
