LSI 53C875A Computer Hardware User Manual


 
4-22 Registers
WATN Select with SATN/ on a Start Sequence 4
When this bit is set and the LSI53C875A is in the initiator
mode, the SATN/ signal is asserted during selection of a
SCSI target device. This is to inform the target that the
LSI53C875A has a message to send. If a selection
time-out occurs while attempting to select a target device,
SATN/ is deasserted at the same time SSEL/ is
deasserted. When this bit is cleared, the SATN/ signal is
not asserted during selection. When executing SCSI
SCRIPTS, this bit is controlled by the SCRIPTS
processor, but manual setting is possible in low level
mode.
EPC EnableParityChecking 3
When this bit is set, the SCSI data bus is checked for odd
parity when data is received from the SCSI bus in either
the initiator or target mode. If a parity error is detected,
bit 0 of the SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) register is
set and an interrupt may be generated.
If the LSI53C875A is operating in the initiator mode and
a parity error is detected, assertion of SATN/ is optional,
but the transfer continues until the target changes phase.
When this bit is cleared, parity errors are not reported.
R Reserved 2
AAP Assert SATN/ on Parity Error 1
When this bit is set, the LSI53C875A automatically
asserts the SATN/ signal upon detection of a parity error.
SATN/isonlyassertedintheinitiatormode.TheSATN/
signal is asserted before deasserting SACK/ during the
byte transfer with the parity error. Also set the Enable
Parity Checking bit for the LSI53C875A to assert SATN/
in this manner. A parity error is detected on data received
from the SCSI bus.
If the Assert SATN/ on Parity Error bit is cleared or the
Enable Parity Checking bit is cleared, SATN/ is not
automatically asserted on the SCSI bus when a parity
error is received.
TRG Target Mode 0
This bit determines the default operating mode of the
LSI53C875A. The user must manually set the target or
initiator mode. This is done using the SCRIPTS language
