2-24 Functional Description
2.2.11 Parity Options
The LSI53C875A implements a flexible parity scheme that allows control
of the parity sense, allows parity checking to be turned on or off, and has
the ability to deliberately send a byte with bad parity over the SCSI bus
to test parity error recovery procedures. Ta ble 2.3 defines the bits that
are involved in parity control and observation. Table 2.4 describes the
parity control function of the Enable Parity Checking and Assert SCSI
Even Parity bits in the SCSI Control One (SCNTL1) register, bit 2.
Table 2.5 describes the options available when a parity error occurs.
Figure 2.2 shows where parity checking is done in the LSI53C875A.
