Registers

Move operation. The

Data Structure Address (DSA)

and

Temporary (TEMP)

registers contain the base address

used for table indirect calculations, and the address
pointer for a call or return instruction, respectively. This
bit is intended for manufacturing diagnostics only and
should not be set during normal operations.

MPEE

Master Parity Error Enable

3

Setting this bit enables parity checking during master
data phases. A parity error during a bus master read is
detected by the LSI53C896 SCSI function. A parity error
during a bus master write is detected by the target, and
the LSI53C896 SCSI function is informed of the error by
the PERR/ pin being asserted by the target. When this bit
is cleared, the LSI53C896 SCSI function does not
interrupt if a master parity error occurs. This bit is cleared
at power-up.

FBL[2:0]

FIFO Byte Control

[2:0]

These bits steer the contents of the

Chip Test Six (CTEST6)

register to the appropriate byte

lane of the 64-bit DMA FIFO. If the FBL3 bit is set, then
FBL2 through FBL0 determine which of eight byte lanes
can be read or written. When cleared, the byte lane read
or written is determined by the current contents of the

DMA Next Address (DNAD)

and

DMA Byte Counter (DBC)

registers. Each of the eight bytes that make up the 64-bit
DMA FIFO is accessed by writing these bits to the proper
value. For normal operation, FBL3 must equal zero.
