SCSI Test Three (STEST3)
Read/Write

TE

TolerANT Enable

7

Setting this bit enables the active negation portion of
TolerANT technology. Active negation causes the SCSI
Request, Acknowledge, Data, and Parity signals to be
actively deasserted, instead of relying on external
pull-ups, when the LSI53C896 SCSI function is driving
these signals. Active deassertion of these signals occurs
only when the LSI53C896 SCSI function is in an
information transfer phase. When operating in a
differential environment or at fast SCSI timings,
TolerANT Active negation should be enabled to improve
setup and deassertion times. Active negation is disabled
after reset or when this bit is cleared. For details on
TolerANT technology, refer to

Chapter 1, “Introduction.”

Note:

Set this bit if the Enable Ultra SCSI bit in

SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3)

is set.

STR

SCSI FIFO Test Read

6

Setting this bit places the SCSI core into a test mode in
which the SCSI FIFO is easily read. Reading the least
significant byte of the

SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL)

register causes the FIFO to unload. The functions are
summarized in the following table.

HSC

Halt SCSI Clock

5

Asserting this bit causes the internal divided SCSI clock to
come to a stop in a glitchless manner. This bit is used for
test purposes or to lower I

DD

during a power-down mode.
