2.4 PCI Cache Mode

The LSI53C825A supports the PCI specification for an 8-bit

Cache Line

Size

register located in PCI configuration space. The

Cache Line Size

register provides the ability to sense and react to nonaligned addresses
corresponding to cache line boundaries. In conjunction with the

Cache

Line Size

register, the PCI commands Read Line, Read Multiple, and

Write and Invalidate are each software enabled or disabled to allow the
user full flexibility in using these commands. For more information on PCI
cache mode operations, refer to

Chapter 3, “Signal Descriptions.”

2.4.1 Load and Store Instructions

The LSI53C825A supports the Load and Store instruction type, which
simplifies the movement of data between memory and the internal chip
registers. It also enables the LSI53C825A to transfer bytes to addresses
relative to the

Data Structure Address (DSA)

register. For more

information on the Load and Store instructions, refer to

Chapter 5, “SCSI

SCRIPTS Instruction Set.”

2.4.2 3.3 V/5 V PCI Interface

The LSI53C825A can attach directly to a 3.3 V or a 5 V PCI interface,
due to separate V

DD

pins for the PCI bus drivers. This allows the devices

to be used on the universal board recommended by the PCI Special
Interest Group.

2.4.3 Additional Access to General Purpose Pins

The LSI53C825A can access the GPIO0 and GPIO1 general purpose
pins through register bits in the PCI configuration space, instead of using
the

General Purpose Pin Control (GPCNTL)

register in the operating

register space to control these pins. In the LSI Logic SDMS software, the
configuration bits control pins as the clock and data lines, respectively.

To access the GPIO[1:0] pins through the configuration space, connect
a 4.7 k

resistor between the MAD7 pin and V

SS

. MAD7 contains an

internal pull-up that is sensed shortly after chip reset. If the pin is sensed
high, GPIO[1:0] access is disabled; if it is low, GPIO[1:0] access is
enabled. Additionally, if GPIO[1:0] access has been enabled through the
