Registers

end-of-transfer cleanup and alignment, even if less than
a full burst of transfers is performed. The LSI53C895A
inserts a “fairness delay” of four CLKs between burst
transfers (as set in BL[2:0]) during normal operation. The
fairness delay is not inserted during PCI retry cycles. This
gives the CPU and other bus master devices the
opportunity to access the PCI bus between bursts.

The LSI53C895A will only support burst thresholds of up
to 16 Dwords in the small FIFO mode. Setting the burst
threshold to higher than 16 Dwords in the small FIFO
mode will yield unexpected results in burst lengths. The
big FIFO mode is activated by setting bit 5 of the

Chip

Test Five (CTEST5)

register. In the big FIFO mode, the

LSI53C895A will support burst thresholds of up to
128 Dwords.

SIOM

Source I/O Memory Enable

5

This bit is defined as an I/O Memory Enable bit for the
source address of a Memory Move or Block Move
Command. If this bit is set, then the source address is in
I/O space; and if cleared, then the source address is in
memory space.

This function is useful for register-to-memory operations
using the Memory Move instruction when the
LSI53C895A is I/O mapped. Bits 4 and 5 of the

Chip Test

Two (CTEST2)

register are used to determine the

configuration status of the LSI53C895A.
