Registers

Version 3.3

The DIP bit in the

Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0)

register is also cleared.

It is possible to mask DMA interrupt conditions individually through the

DMA Interrupt Enable (DIEN)

register.

When performing consecutive 8-bit reads of the

DMA Status (DSTAT)

,

SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0)

and

SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1)

registers (in any order), insert a delay equivalent to 12 CLK periods
between the reads to ensure that the interrupts clear properly. Refer to

Chapter 2, “Functional Description,”

for details on interrupts.

DFE

DMA FIFO Empty

7

This status bit is set when the DMA FIFO is empty. It is
possible to use it to determine whether any data resides
in the FIFO when an error occurs and an interrupt is
generated. This bit is a pure status bit and does not
cause an interrupt.

MDPE

Master Data Parity Error

6

This bit is set when the LSI53C896 SCSI function as a
master detects a data parity error, or a target device
signals a parity error during a data phase. This bit is
completely disabled by the Master Parity Error Enable bit
(bit 3 of

Chip Test Four (CTEST4)

).

BF

Bus Fault

5

This bit is set when a PCI bus fault condition is detected.
A PCI bus fault can only occur when the LSI53C896
SCSI function is bus master, and is defined as a cycle
that ends with a Bad Address or Target Abort Condition.

ABRT

Aborted

4

This bit is set when an abort condition occurs. An abort
condition occurs when a software abort command is
issued by setting bit 7 of the

Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0)

register.

SSI

Single Step Interrupt

3

If the Single Step Mode bit in the

DMA Control (DCNTL)

register is set, this bit is set and an interrupt generated
after successful execution of each SCRIPTS instruction.

SIR

SCRIPTS Interrupt Instruction Received

2

This status bit is set whenever an interrupt instruction is
evaluated as true.
