LSI53C875/875E PCI to Ultra SCSI I/O Processor

2-1

Chapter 2
Functional Description

Chapter 2 is divided into the following sections:

Section 2.1, “SCSI Functional Description”

Section 2.2, “Designing an Ultra SCSI System”

Section 2.3, “Prefetching SCRIPTS Instructions”

Section 2.4, “External Memory Interface”

Section 2.5, “PCI Cache Mode”

Section 2.6, “Power Management”

2.1 SCSI Functional Description

The LSI53C875 is composed of three functional blocks: the

SCSI Core

,

the

DMA Core

, and the

SCRIPTS Processor

. The LSI53C875 is fully

supported by SDMS software, a complete software package that
supports the LSI Logic product line of SCSI processors and controllers.
The PCI Bus Power Management support (LSI53C875E) is discussed

Section 2.6, “Power Management.”

2.1.1 SCSI Core

The SCSI core supports the 8-bit or 16-bit data bus. It supports Ultra
SCSI synchronous transfer rates up to 40 Mbytes/s, SCSI synchronous
transfer rates up to 20 Mbytes/s, and asynchronous transfer rates up to
10 Mbytes/s on a 16-bit wide SCSI bus. The SCSI core can be
programmed with SCSI SCRIPTS, making it easy to “fine tune” the
system for specific mass storage devices or SCSI-3 requirements.
