IRQM

IRQ Mode

3

When set, this bit enables a totem pole driver for the
INTA/, or INTB/ pin. When cleared, this bit enables an
open drain driver for the INTA/, or INTB/, pin with an
internal weak pull-up. The bit should remain cleared to
retain full PCI compliance.

STD

Start DMA Operation

2

The LSI53C896 SCSI function fetches a SCSI SCRIPTS
instruction from the address contained in the

DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP)

register when this bit is

set. This bit is required if the LSI53C896 SCSI function is
in one of the following modes:

Manual start mode – Bit 0 in the

DMA Mode (DMODE)

register is set

Single step mode – Bit 4 in the

DMA Control (DCNTL)

register is set

When the LSI53C896 SCSI function is executing
SCRIPTS in manual start mode, the Start DMA bit must
be set to start instruction fetches, but need not be set
again until an interrupt occurs. When the LSI53C896 SCSI
function is in single step mode, set the Start DMA bit to
restart execution of SCRIPTS after a single step interrupt.

IRQD

INTA, INTB Disable

1

Setting this bit disables the INTA (for SCSI Function A),
or INTB (for SCSI Function B) pin. Clearing the bit
enables normal operation. As with any other register
other than

Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0)

,

Interrupt Status One (ISTAT1)

,

Mailbox Zero (MBOX0)

,

Mailbox One (MBOX1),

this register cannot be accessed

except by a SCRIPTS instruction during SCRIPTS
execution. For details on the use of this bit in interrupt
handling, refer to

Chapter 2, “Functional Description.”

COM

LSI53C700 Family Compatibility

0

When the COM bit is cleared, the LSI53C896 SCSI
function behaves in a manner compatible with the
LSI53C700 family; selection/reselection IDs are stored in
both the

SCSI Selector ID (SSID)

and

SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR)

registers. This bit is not

affected by a software reset.
