LSI53C895A Benefits Summary

1-7

Performs sustained memory-to-memory DMA transfers to
approximately 100 Mbytes/s.

Minimizes SCSI I/O start latency.

Performs complex bus sequences without interrupts, including
restoring data pointers.

Reduces ISR overhead through a unique interrupt status reporting
method.

Uses Load/Store SCRIPTS instructions which increase performance
of data transfers to and from the chip registers without using PCI
cycles.

Has SCRIPTS support for 64-bit addressing.

Supports multithreaded I/O algorithms in SCSI SCRIPTS with fast
I/O context switching.

Supports additional arithmetic capability with the Expanded Register
Move instruction.

1.5.2 PCI Performance

To improve PCI performance, the LSI53C895A:

Complies with PCI 2.2 specification.

Supports 32-bit 33 MHz PCI interface with 64-bit addressing.

Supports dual address cycles which can be generated for all
SCRIPTS for > 4 Gbyte addressability.

Bursts 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 Dword transfers across the PCI bus.

Supports 32-bit word data bursts with variable burst lengths.

Prefetches up to 8 Dwords of SCRIPTS instructions.

Bursts SCRIPTS opcode fetches across the PCI bus.

Performs zero wait-state bus master data bursts faster than
110 Mbytes/s (@ 33 MHz).

Supports PCI Cache Line Size register.

Supports PCI Write and Invalidate, Read Line, and Read Multiple
commands.

Complies with PCI Bus Power Management Specification
Revision 1.1.
