LSI53C895A Benefits Summary

1-9

1.5.5 Flexibility

The LSI53C895A provides:

Universal LVD transceivers are backward compatible with SE or HVD
devices.

High level programming interface (SCSI SCRIPTS).

Ability to program local and bus flash memory.

Selectable 112 or 944 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.

SCSI clock quadrupler bits enable Ultra2 SCSI transfer rates with a
40 MHz SCSI clock input.

Selectable IRQ pin disable bit.

Ability to route system clock to SCSI clock.

Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V PCI.

1.5.6 Reliability

Enhanced reliability features of the LSI53C895A include:

2 kV ESD protection on SCSI signals.

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).

High proportion (> 25%) of device pins are power or ground.
