Table 2.3

Bits Used for Parity Control and Generation

Bit Name

Location

Description

Assert SATN/ on
Parity Errors

SCSI Control Zero
(SCNTL0)

, Bit 1

Causes the LSI53C875A to automatically assert SATN/
when it detects a SCSI parity error while operating as an
initiator.

Enable Parity
Checking

SCSI Control Zero
(SCNTL0)

, Bit 3

Enables the LSI53C875A to check for parity errors. The
LSI53C875A checks for odd parity.

Assert Even SCSI
Parity

SCSI Control One
(SCNTL1)

, Bit 2

Determines the SCSI parity sense generated by the
LSI53C875A to the SCSI bus.

Disable Halt on
SATN/ or a Parity
Error (Target Mode
Only)

SCSI Control One
(SCNTL1)

, Bit 5

Causes the LSI53C875A not to halt operations when a
parity error is detected in target mode.

Enable Parity Error
Interrupt

SCSI Interrupt
Enable Zero
(SIEN0)

, Bit 0

Determines whether the LSI53C875A generates an
interrupt when it detects a SCSI parity error.

Parity Error

SCSI Interrupt
Status Zero
(SIST0)

, Bit 0

This status bit is set whenever the LSI53C875A detects a
parity error on the SCSI bus.

Status of SCSI
Parity Signal

SCSI Status Zero
(SSTAT0)

, Bit 0

This status bit represents the active HIGH current state of
the SCSI SDP0 parity signal.

SCSI SDP1 Signal

SCSI Status Two
(SSTAT2)

, Bit 0

This bit represents the active HIGH current state of the
SCSI SDP1 parity signal.

Latched SCSI Parity

SSTAT 2, Bit 3 and

SCSI Status One
(SSTAT1)

, Bit 3

These bits reflect the SCSI odd parity signal
corresponding to the data latched into the

SCSI Input

Data Latch (SIDL)

register.

Master Parity Error
Enable

Chip Test Four
(CTEST4)

, Bit 3

Enables parity checking during PCI master data phases.

Master Data Parity
Error

DMA Status
(DSTAT)

, Bit 6

Set when the LSI53C875A

,

as a PCI master, detects a

target device signaling a parity error during a data phase.

Master Data Parity
Error Interrupt
Enable

DMA Interrupt
Enable (DIEN)

,

Bit 6

By clearing this bit, a Master Data Parity Error does not
cause assertion of INTA/ (or INTB/), but the status bit is
set in the

DMA Status (DSTAT)

register.
