1.1 General Description  
The SYM53C896 PCI to Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Multifunction  
Controller brings Ultra2 SCSI performance to host adapter, workstation,  
and general computer designs, making it easy to add a high-performance  
SCSI bus to any PCI system. It supports Ultra2 SCSI transfer rates and  
allows increased SCSI connectivity and cable length with Low Voltage  
Differential (LVD) signaling for SCSI devices.  
The SYM53C896 has a local memory bus for local storage of the  
device’s BIOS ROM in flash memory or standard EPROMs. The  
SYM53C896 supports programming of local flash memory for updates to  
BIOS. The chip is packaged in a 329 Ball Grid Array (BGA) package.  
System diagrams showing the connections of the SYM53C896 with an  
external ROM or flash memory are shown in Appendix B, “External  
Memory Interface Diagram Examples”.  
LVD Link™ technology is the LSI Logic implementation of LVD. LVD Link  
transceivers allow the SYM53C896 to perform either Single-Ended (SE)  
or LVD transfers, and support external High Voltage Differential (HVD)  
transceivers. The SYM53C896 integrates a high-performance SCSI core,  
Symbios SYM53C896 PCI to Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Multifunction Controller  
1-1  
a 64-bit PCI bus master DMA core, and the LSI Logic SCSI SCRIPTS™  
processor to meet the flexibility requirements of SCSI-3 and Ultra2 SCSI  
standards. It is designed to implement multithreaded I/O algorithms with  
a minimum of processor intervention, solving the protocol overhead  
problems of previous intelligent and nonintelligent adapter designs.

1.1.1 New Features in the SYM53C896  
The SYM53C896 is functionally similar to the SYM53C876 PCI to Dual  
Channel SCSI Multifunction Controller, with added support for Ultra2  
SCSI. Some software enhancements, and the use of LVD, are needed to  
enable the chip to transfer data at Ultra2 SCSI transfer rates.  
64-bit PCI Interface.  
Able to handle SCSI phase mismatches in SCRIPTS without  
interrupting the CPU.  
Two wide Ultra2 SCSI channels in a single package.  
Separate 8 Kbyte internal SCRIPTS RAMs.  
JTAG boundary scanning.  
RAID ready alternative interrupt signaling.  
PC99 Power Management - including automatic download of  
Subsystem Vendor ID and Subsystem ID, and PCI power  
management levels D0, D1, D2, and D3.  
General Description  
1-3  
Improved PCI Caching design - improves PCI bus efficiency.  
Load/Store data transferred to or from SCRIPTS RAM internal to  
chip.  
Hardware control of SCSI activity LED.  
Optional 944 byte DMA FIFO supports large block transfers at Ultra2  
SCSI speeds. The default FIFO size of 112 bytes is also supported.  
32-bit ISTAT registers (Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0), Interrupt Status  
One (ISTAT1), Mailbox Zero (MBOX0), Mailbox One (MBOX1)).  
1.2 Benefits of Ultra2 SCSI  
Ultra2 SCSI is an extension of the SPI-2 draft standard that allows faster  
synchronous SCSI transfer rates and defines a new physical layer, LVD  
SCSI, that provides an incremental evolution from SCSI-2 and Ultra  
SCSI. When enabled, Ultra2 SCSI performs 40 mega transfers per  
second, which results in approximately double the synchronous transfer  
rates of Ultra SCSI. The SYM53C896 can perform 16-bit, Ultra2 SCSI  
synchronous transfers as fast as 80 Mbytes/s on each channel for a total  
bandwidth of 160 Mbytes/s. This advantage is most noticeable in heavily  
loaded systems, or large block size applications such as video  
on-demand and image processing.  
An advantage of Ultra2 SCSI is that it significantly improves SCSI  
bandwidth while preserving existing hardware and software investments.  
The primary software changes required are to enable the chip to perform  
synchronous negotiations for Ultra2 SCSI rates, and to enable the clock  
quadrupler. Ultra2 SCSI uses the same connectors as Ultra SCSI, but  
can operate with longer cables and more devices on the bus. Chapter 2,  
“Functional Description” contains more information on migrating an Ultra  
SCSI design to an Ultra2 SCSI design.  
1.3 Benefits of LVD Link  
The SYM53C896 supports LVD for SCSI, a signaling technology that  
increases the reliability of SCSI data transfers over longer distances than  
are supported by SE SCSI. The low current output of LVD allows the I/O  
transceivers to be integrated directly onto the chip. LVD provides the  
1-4  
Introduction  
reliability of HVD SCSI without the added cost of external differential  
transceivers. Ultra2 SCSI with LVD allows a longer SCSI cable and more  
devices on the bus, with the same cables defined in the SCSI-3 Parallel  
Interface standard for Fast-20 (Ultra SCSI). LVD provides a long-term  
migration path to even faster SCSI transfer rates without compromising  
signal integrity, cable length, or connectivity.  
For backward compatibility to existing SE devices, the SYM53C896  
features universal LVD Link transceivers that can support LVD SCSI, SE,  
and HVD modes. The LVD Link technology also supports HVD signaling  
in legacy systems, when external transceivers are connected to the  
SYM53C896. This allows the SYM53C896 to be used in both legacy and  
Ultra2 SCSI applications.  
1.4 TolerANT® Technology  
The SYM53C896 features TolerANT technology, which includes active  
negation on the SCSI drivers and input signal filtering on the SCSI  
receivers. Active negation causes the SCSI Request, Acknowledge,  
Data, and Parity signals to be actively driven high rather than passively  
pulled up by terminators. Active negation is enabled by setting bit 7 in  
the SCSI Test Three (STEST3) register.  
TolerANT receiver technology improves data integrity in unreliable  
cabling environments, where other devices would be subject to data  
corruption. TolerANT receivers filter the SCSI bus signals to eliminate  
unwanted transitions, without the long signal delay associated with  
RC-type input filters. This improved driver and receiver technology helps  
eliminate double clocking of data, the single biggest reliability issue with  
SCSI operations. TolerANT input signal filtering is a built-in feature of the  
SYM53C896 and all LSI Logic fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and Ultra2 SCSI  
devices.  
The benefits of TolerANT technology include increased immunity to noise  
when the signal is going high, better performance due to balanced duty  
cycles, and improved fast SCSI transfer rates. In addition, TolerANT SCSI  
devices do not cause glitches on the SCSI bus at power-up or  
power-down, so other devices on the bus are also protected from data  
corruption. When it is used with the LVD Link transceivers, TolerANT  
technology provides excellent signal quality and data reliability in real  
TolerANT® Technology  
1-5  
world cabling environments. TolerANT technology is compatible with both  
the Alternative One and Alternative Two termination schemes proposed  
by the American National Standards Institute.

2.1 PCI Functional Description  
The SYM53C896 implements two PCI-to-Wide Ultra2 SCSI controllers in  
a single package. This configuration presents only one load to the PCI  
bus and uses one REQ/ - GNT/ pair to arbitrate for PCI bus mastership.  
However, separate interrupt signals are generated for SCSI Function A  
and SCSI Function B.  
2-2  
Functional Description  
2.1.1 PCI Addressing  
There are three physical PCI-defined address spaces:  
PCI Configuration Space.  
I/O Space for operating registers.  
Memory Space for operating registers.  
2.1.1.1 Configuration Space  
The host processor uses this configuration space to initialize the  
SYM53C896. Two independent sets of configuration space registers are  
defined, one set for each SCSI function. The Configuration registers are  
accessible only by system BIOS during PCI configuration cycles. Each  
configuration space is a contiguous 256 X 8-bit set of addresses.  
Decoding C_BE[3:0]/ determines if a PCI cycle is intended to access the  
configuration register space. The IDSEL bus signal is a “chip select” that  
allows access to the configuration register space only. A configuration  
read/write cycle without IDSEL is ignored. The eight lower order address  
bits (AD[7:0]) are used to select a specific 8-bit register. Since the  
SYM53C896 is a PCI multifunction device, bits AD[10:8] decode either  
SCSI Function A Configuration register (AD[10:8] = 0b000) or SCSI  
Function B Configuration register (AD[10:8] = 0b001).  
At initialization time, each PCI device is assigned a base address (in the  
case of the SYM53C896, the upper 24 bits of the address are selected)  
for memory accesses and I/O accesses. On every access, the  
SYM53C896 compares its assigned base addresses with the value on  
the Address/Data bus during the PCI address phase. If there is a match  
of the upper 24 bits, the access is for the SYM53C896 and the low-order  
eight bits define the register to be accessed. A decode of C_BE[3:0]/  
determines which registers and what type of access is to be performed.  
I/O Space – The PCI specification defines I/O space as a contiguous  
32-bit I/O address that is shared by all system resources, including the  
SYM53C896. Base Address Register Zero determines which 256-byte  
I/O area this device occupies.  
Memory Space – The PCI specification defines memory space as a  
contiguous 64-bit memory address that is shared by all system  
resources, including the SYM53C896. Base Address Register One  
determines which 1 Kbyte memory area this device occupies. Each SCSI  
function uses a 8 Kbyte SCRIPTS RAM memory space. Base Address  
PCI Functional Description  
2-3  
Register Two determines the 8 Kbyte memory area the SCRIPTS RAM  
occupies.  
2.1.2 PCI Bus Commands and Functions Supported  
Bus commands indicate to the target the type of transaction the master  
is requesting. Bus commands are encoded on the C_BE[3:0]/ lines  
during the address phase. PCI bus commands and encoding types  
appear in Table 2.1.

Functional Description  
2.1.2.1 Interrupt Acknowledge Command  
The SYM53C896 does not respond to this command as a slave and it  
never generates this command as a master.  
2.1.2.2 Special Cycle Command  
The SYM53C896 does not respond to this command as a slave and it  
never generates this command as a master.  
2.1.2.3 I/O Read Command  
The I/O Read command reads data from an agent mapped in the I/O  
address space. All 64 address bits are decoded.  
2.1.2.4 I/O Write Command  
The I/O Write command writes data to an agent mapped in the I/O  
address space. All 64 address bits are decoded.  
2.1.2.5 Reserved Command  
The SYM53C896 does not respond to this command as a slave and it  
never generates this command as a master.  
2.1.2.6 Memory Read Command  
The Memory Read command reads data from an agent mapped in the  
Memory Address Space. The target is free to do an anticipatory read for  
this command only if it can guarantee that such a read has no side  
effects.  
2.1.2.7 Memory Write Command  
The Memory Write command writes data to an agent mapped in the  
Memory Address Space. When the target returns “ready”, it assumes  
responsibility for the coherency (which includes ordering) of the subject  
data.  
2.1.2.8 Configuration Read Command  
The Configuration Read command reads the configuration space of each  
agent. An agent is selected during a configuration access when its  
PCI Functional Description  
2-5  
IDSEL signal is asserted and AD[1:0] are 0b00. During the address  
phase of a configuration cycle AD[7:2] addresses one of the 64 dword  
registers (where byte enables address the bytes within each dword) in  
the configuration space of each device. AD[63:11] are logical don’t cares  
to the selected agent. AD[10:8] indicate which device of a multifunction  
agent is being addressed.  
2.1.2.9 Configuration Write Command  
The Configuration Write command transfers data to the configuration  
space of each agent. An agent is selected when its IDSEL signal is  
asserted and AD[1:0] are 0b00. During the address phase of a  
configuration cycle, the AD[7:2] lines address the 64 dword registers  
(where byte enables address the bytes within each dword) in the  
configuration space of each device. AD[63:11] are logical don’t cares to  
the selected agent. AD[10:8] indicate which device of a multifunction  
agent is addressed.  
2.1.2.10 Memory Read Multiple Command  
This command is identical to the Memory Read command except that it  
additionally indicates that the master may intend to fetch more than one  
cache line before disconnecting. The SYM53C896 supports PCI Memory  
Read Multiple functionality and issues Memory Read Multiple commands  
on the PCI bus when the Read Multiple mode is enabled. This mode is  
enabled by setting bit 2 (ERMP) of the DMA Mode (DMODE) register. If  
cache mode is enabled, a Memory Read Multiple command is issued on  
all read cycles, except opcode fetches, when the following conditions are  
met:  
The CLSE bit (Cache Line Size Enable, bit 7, DMA Control (DCNTL)  
register) and the ERMP bit (Enable Read Multiple, bit 2, DMA Mode  
(DMODE) register) are set.  
The Cache Line Size register for each function contains a legal burst  
size value (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64) and that value is less than or equal  
to the DMODE burst size.  
The transfer will cross a cache line boundary.  
When these conditions are met, the chip issues a Memory Read Multiple  
command instead of a Memory Read during all PCI read cycles.  
2-6  
Functional Description  
Burst Size Selection – The Read Multiple command reads in multiple  
cache lines of data in a single bus ownership. The number of cache lines  
to read is a multiple of the cache line size specified in Revision 2.1 of  
the PCI specification. The logic selects the largest multiple of the cache  
line size based on the amount of data to transfer, with the maximum  
allowable burst size determined from the DMA Mode (DMODE) burst size  
bits, and the Chip Test Five (CTEST5), bit 2.  
2.1.2.11 DAC Command  
The SYM53C896 performs DACs when 64-bit addressing is required.  
See PCI specification 2.1. If any of the selector registers contain a  
nonzero value, a DAC will be generated.  
2.1.2.12 Memory Read Line Command  
This command is identical to the Memory Read command, except that it  
additionally indicates that the master intends to fetch a complete cache  
line. This command is intended for use with bulk sequential data transfers  
where the memory system and the requesting master might gain some  
performance advantage by reading to a cache line boundary rather than  
a single memory cycle. The Read Line function in the SYM53C896 takes  
advantage of the PCI 2.1 specification regarding issuing of this  
command.  
If the cache mode is disabled, Read Line commands will not be issued.  
If the cache mode is enabled, a Read Line command is issued on all  
read cycles, except nonprefetch opcode fetches, when the following  
conditions are met:  
The CLSE (Cache Line Size Enable, bit 7, of the DMA Control  
(DCNTL) register) and ERL (Enable Read Line, bit 3, of the DMA  
Mode (DMODE) register) bits are set.  
The Cache Line Size register for each function must contain a legal  
burst size value in dwords (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128) and that value  
is less than or equal to the DMODE burst size.  
The transfer will cross a dword boundary but not a cache line  
boundary.  
PCI Functional Description  
2-7  
When these conditions are met, the chip issues a Read Line command  
instead of a Memory Read during all PCI read cycles. Otherwise, it  
issues a normal Memory Read command.  
Read Multiple with Read Line Enabled – When both the Read  
Multiple and Read Line modes are enabled, the Read Line command is  
not issued if the above conditions are met. Instead, a Read Multiple  
command is issued, even though the conditions for Read Line are met.  
If the Read Multiple mode is enabled and the Read Line mode is  
disabled, Read Multiple commands are issued if the Read Multiple  
conditions are met.  
2.1.2.13 Memory Write and Invalidate Command  
The Memory Write and Invalidate command is identical to the Memory  
Write command, except that it additionally guarantees a minimum  
transfer of one complete cache line. That is, the master intends to write  
all bytes within the addressed cache line in a single PCI transaction  
unless interrupted by the target. This command requires implementation  
of the PCI Cache Line Size register at address 0x0C in PCI configuration  
space. The SYM53C896 enables Memory Write and Invalidate cycles  
when bit 0 (WRIE) in the Chip Test Three (CTEST3) register and bit 4  
(WIE) in the PCI Command register are set. When the following  
conditions are met, Memory Write and Invalidate commands are issued:  
1. The CLSE bit (Cache Line Size Enable, bit 7, of the DMA Control  
(DCNTL) register), WRIE bit (Write and Invalidate Enable, bit 0, of the  
Chip Test Three (CTEST3) register), and PCI configuration Command  
register, bit 4 are set.  
2. The Cache Line Size register for each function contains a legal burst  
size value in dwords (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128) and that value is  
less than or equal to the DMA Mode (DMODE) burst size.  
3. The chip has enough bytes in the DMA FIFO to complete at least  
one full cache line burst.  
4. The chip is aligned to a cache line boundary.  
When these conditions are met, the SYM53C896 issues a Write and  
Invalidate command instead of a Memory Write command during all PCI  
write cycles.  
2-8  
Functional Description  
Multiple Cache Line Transfers – The Memory Write and Invalidate  
command can write multiple cache lines of data in a single bus  
ownership. The chip issues a burst transfer as soon as it reaches a  
cache line boundary. The size of the transfer is not automatically the  
cache line size, but rather a multiple of the cache line size specified in  
Revision 2.1 of the PCI specification. The logic selects the largest  
multiple of the cache line size based on the amount of data to transfer,  
with the maximum allowable burst size determined from the DMA Mode  
(DMODE) burst size bits, and Chip Test Five (CTEST5), bit 2. If multiple  
cache line size transfers are not desired, set the DMODE burst size to  
exactly the cache line size and the chip only issues single cache line  
transfers.  
After each data transfer, the chip re-evaluates the burst size based on  
the amount of remaining data to transfer and again selects the highest  
possible multiple of the cache line size, and no larger than the DMA  
Mode (DMODE) burst size. The most likely scenario of this scheme is that  
the chip selects the DMODE burst size after alignment, and issues bursts  
of this size. The burst size is, in effect, throttled down toward the end of  
a long Memory Move or Block Move transfer until only the cache line size  
burst size is left. The chip finishes the transfer with this burst size.  
Latency – In accordance with the PCI specification, the latency timer is  
ignored when issuing a Memory Write and Invalidate command such that  
when a latency time-out occurs, the SYM53C896 continues to transfer  
up to a cache line boundary. At that point, the chip relinquishes the bus,  
and finishes the transfer at a later time using another bus ownership. If  
the chip is transferring multiple cache lines it continues to transfer until  
the next cache boundary is reached.  
PCI Target Retry – During a Memory Write and Invalidate transfer, if the  
target device issues a retry (STOP with no TRDY/, indicating that no data  
was transferred), the chip relinquishes the bus and immediately tries to  
finish the transfer on another bus ownership. The chip issues another  
Memory Write and Invalidate command on the next ownership, in  
accordance with the PCI specification.  
PCI Target Disconnect – During a Memory Write and Invalidate  
transfer, if the target device issues a disconnect the SYM53C896  
relinquishes the bus and immediately tries to finish the transfer on  
another bus ownership. The chip does not issue another Memory Write  
PCI Functional Description  
2-9  
and Invalidate command on the next ownership unless the address is  
aligned.  
2.1.3 Internal Arbiter  
The PCI to SCSI controller uses a single REQ/ - GNT/ signal pair to  
arbitrate for access to the PCI bus. An internal arbiter circuit allows the  
different bus mastering functions resident in the chip to arbitrate among  
themselves for the privilege of arbitrating for PCI bus access. There are  
two independent bus mastering functions inside the SYM53C896, one for  
each of the SCSI functions.  
The internal arbiter uses a round robin arbitration scheme to decide  
which internal bus mastering function may arbitrate for access to the PCI  
bus. This ensures that no function is starved for access to the PCI bus.  
2.1.4 PCI Cache Mode  
The SYM53C896 supports the PCI specification for an 8-bit Cache Line  
Size register located in the PCI configuration space. The Cache Line Size  
register provides the ability to sense and react to nonaligned addresses  
corresponding to cache line boundaries. In conjunction with the Cache  
Line Size register, the PCI commands Memory Read Line, Memory Read  
Multiple, Memory Write and Invalidate are each software enabled or  
disabled to allow the user full flexibility in using these commands.  
2.1.4.1 Enabling Cache Mode  
For the cache logic to be enabled to issue PCI cache commands  
(Memory Read Line, Memory Read Multiple, and Memory Write and  
Invalidate) on any given PCI master operation the following conditions  
must be met:  
The Cache Line Size Enable bit in the DMA Control (DCNTL) register  
must be set.  
The PCI Cache Line Size register must contain a valid binary cache  
size, i.e. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 dwords. Only these values are  
considered valid cache sizes.  
The programmed burst size (in dwords) must be equal to or greater  
than the cache line size register. The DMA Mode (DMODE) register  
bits [7:6] and the Chip Test Five (CTEST5) register bit 2 are the burst  
length bits.  
2-10  
Functional Description  
The part must be doing a PCI Master transfer. The following PCI  
Master transactions do not utilize the PCI cache logic and thus no  
PCI cache commands will be issued during these types of cycles: a  
nonprefetch SCRIPTS fetch, a Load/Store data transfer, a data flush  
operation. All other types of PCI Master transactions will utilize the  
PCI cache logic.  
The above four conditions must be met for the cache logic to control the  
type of PCI cache command that is issued, along with any alignment that  
may be necessary during write operations. If these conditions are not  
met for any given PCI Master transaction, a Memory Read or Memory  
Write will be issued and no cache write alignment will be done.  
2.1.4.2 Issuing Cache Commands  
In order to issue each type of PCI cache command, the corresponding  
enable bit must be set (2 bits in the case of Memory Write and  
Invalidate).  
To issue Memory Read Line commands, set the Memory Read Line  
enable bit in the DMA Mode (DMODE) register.  
To issue Memory Read Multiple commands, set the Read Multiple  
enable bit in the DMA Mode (DMODE) register.  
To issue Memory Write and Invalidate commands, set the Write and  
Invalidate enables in both the Chip Test Three (CTEST3) and the PCI  
configuration Command registers.  
If the corresponding cache command that is to be issued is not enabled  
then the cache logic will fall back to the next command enabled, i.e., if  
Memory Read Multiple is not enabled and Memory Read Lines are, read  
lines will be issued in place of read multiples. If no cache commands are  
enabled, cache write alignment will still occur but no cache commands  
will be issued, only memory reads and memory writes will be issued.  
2.1.4.3 Memory Read Caching  
Which type of Memory Read command gets issued depends on the  
starting location of the transfer and the number of bytes to be transferred.  
During reads, no cache alignment is done (this is not required nor  
optimal per PCI 2.1 specification) and reads will always be either a  
programmed burst length in size, as set in the DMA Mode (DMODE) and  
PCI Functional Description  
2-11  
Chip Test Three (CTEST3) registers. In the case of a transfer which is  
smaller than the burst length, all bytes for that transfer will be read in one  
PCI burst transaction. If the transfer will cross a dword boundary  
(A[1:0] = 0b00) a Memory Read Line command is issued. When the  
transfer will cross a cache boundary (depends on the cache line size  
programmed into the PCI configuration register), a Memory Read  
Multiple command is issued. If a transfer will not cross a dword or cache  
boundary or if cache mode is not enabled a Memory Read command is  
issued.  
2.1.4.4 Memory Write Caching  
Writes will be aligned in a single burst transfer to get to a cache  
boundary. At that point, Memory Write and Invalidate commands will be  
issued and will continue at the burst length programmed into the DMA  
Mode (DMODE) register. Memory Write and Invalidate commands are  
issued as long as the remaining byte count is greater than the Memory  
Write and Invalidate threshold. When the byte count goes below this  
threshold, a single Memory Write burst will be issued to complete the  
transfer. The general pattern for PCI writes will is:  
A single Memory Write to align to a cache boundary.  
Multiple Memory Write and Invalidates.  
A single data residual Memory Write to complete the transfer.

2.1.4.6 Memory-to-Memory Moves  
Memory-to-Memory Moves also support PCI cache commands, as  
described above, with one limitation: Memory Write and Invalidate on  
Memory-to-Memory Move writes are only supported if the source and  
destination address are quad word aligned. If the source and destination  
are not quad word aligned, that is, Source address[2:0] == Destination  
Address[2:0], write aligning is not performed and no Memory Write and  
Invalidate commands are issued. The SYM53C896 is little endian only.  
PCI Functional Description  
2-17  
2.2 SCSI Functional Description  
The SYM53C896 provides two Ultra2 SCSI controllers on a single chip.  
Each Ultra2 SCSI controller provides a SCSI function that supports an  
8-bit or 16-bit bus. Each controller supports Wide Ultra2 SCSI  
synchronous transfer rates up to 80 Mbytes/s on a LVD SCSI bus. SCSI  
functions can be programmed with SCSI SCRIPTS, making it easy to  
“fine tune” the system for specific mass storage devices or Ultra2 SCSI  
requirements.  
The SYM53C896 offers low level register access or a high-level control  
interface. Like first generation SCSI devices, the SYM53C896 is  
accessed as a register-oriented device. The ability to sample and/or  
assert any signal on the SCSI bus is used in error recovery and  
diagnostic procedures. In support of SCSI loopback diagnostics, each  
SCSI function may perform a self-selection and operate as both an  
initiator and a target.  
The SYM53C896 is controlled by the integrated SCRIPTS processor  
through a high-level logical interface. Commands controlling the SCSI  
functions are fetched out of the main host memory or local memory.  
These commands instruct the SCSI functions to Select, Reselect,  
Disconnect, Wait for a Disconnect, Transfer Information, Change Bus  
Phases and, in general, implement all aspects of the SCSI protocol. The  
SCRIPTS processor is a special high-speed processor optimized for  
SCSI protocol.  
2.2.1 SCRIPTS Processor  
The SCSI SCRIPTS processor allows both DMA and SCSI commands  
to be fetched from host memory or internal SCRIPTS RAM. Algorithms  
written in SCSI SCRIPTS control the actions of the SCSI and DMA  
cores. The SCRIPTS processor executes complex SCSI bus sequences  
independently of the host CPU.  
Algorithms may be designed to tune SCSI bus performance, to adjust to  
new bus device types (such as scanners, communication gateways, etc.),  
or to incorporate changes in the SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 logical bus definitions  
without sacrificing I/O performance. SCSI SCRIPTS are hardware  
independent, so they can be used interchangeably on any host or CPU  
2-18  
Functional Description  
system bus. SCSI SCRIPTS also handle conditions such as Phase  
Mismatch.  
2.2.1.1 Phase Mismatch Handling in SCRIPTS  
The SYM53C896 can handle phase mismatches due to drive  
disconnects without needing to interrupt the processor. The primary goal  
of this logic is to completely eliminate the need for CPU intervention  
during an I/O disconnect/reselect sequence.  
Storing the appropriate information to later restart the I/O can be done  
through SCRIPTS, eliminating the need for processor intervention during  
an I/O disconnect/reselect sequence. Calculations are performed such  
that the appropriate information is available to SCRIPTS so that an I/O  
state can be properly stored for restart later.  
The Phase Mismatch Jump logic powers up disabled and must be  
enabled by setting the Phase Mismatch Jump Enable bit (ENPMJ, bit 7  
in the Chip Control 0 (CCNTL0) register).  
Utilizing the information supplied in the Phase Mismatch Jump Address 1  
(PMJAD1) and Phase Mismatch Jump Address 2 (PMJAD2) registers,  
described in Chapter 4, “Registers”, allows all overhead involved in a  
disconnect/reselect sequence to be handled with a modest amount of  
SCRIPTS instructions.  
2.2.2 Internal SCRIPTS RAM  
The SYM53C896 has 8 Kbytes (2048 x 32 bits) of internal, general  
purpose RAM for each SCSI function. The RAM is designed for  
SCRIPTS program storage, but is not limited to this type of information.  
When the chip fetches SCRIPTS instructions or Table Indirect information  
from the internal RAM, these fetches remain internal to the chip and do  
not use the PCI bus. Other types of access to the RAM by the chip,  
except Load/Store, use the PCI bus as if they were external accesses.  
The SCRIPTS RAM powers up enabled by default.  
The RAM can be relocated by the PCI system BIOS anywhere in the  
64-bit address space. Base Address Register Two (SCRIPTS RAM) in the  
PCI configuration space contains the base address of the internal RAM.  
To simplify loading of the SCRIPTS instructions, the base address of the  
RAM appears in the Scratch Register B (SCRATCHB) register when bit 3  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-19  
of the Chip Test Two (CTEST2) register is set. The upper 32 bits of a 64-  
bit base address will be in the SCRIPTS Fetch Selector (SFS) register.  
The RAM is byte accessible from the PCI bus and is visible to any bus  
mastering device on the bus. External accesses to the RAM (by the  
CPU) follow the same timing sequence as a standard slave register  
access, except that the required target wait-states drop from 5 to 3.  
A complete set of development tools is available for writing custom  
drivers with SCSI SCRIPTS. For more information on the SCSI SCRIPTS  
instructions supported by the SYM53C896, see Chapter 5, “SCSI  
SCRIPTS Instruction Set”.  
2.2.3 64-Bit Addressing in SCRIPTS  
The SYM53C896 has a 64-bit PCI interface which provides 64-bit  
address and data capability in the initiator mode. The chip can also  
respond to 64-bit addressing in the target mode.  
DACs can be generated for all SCRIPTS operations. There are six  
selector registers which hold the upper dword of a 64-bit address. All but  
one of these is static and requires manual loading using a CPU access,  
a Load/Store instruction, or a memory move instruction. One of the  
selector registers is dynamic and is used during 64-bit direct block moves  
only. All selectors will default to zero, meaning the SYM53C896 will  
power-up in a state where only Single Address Cycles (SACs) will be  
generated. When any of the selector registers are written to a nonzero  
value, DACs will be generated.  
Direct, table indirect and indirect block moves, Memory-to-Memory  
Moves, Load/Stores and jumps are all instructions with 64-bit address  
capability.  
Crossing the 4 Gbyte boundary on any one SCRIPTS operation is not  
permitted and software needs to take care that any given SCRIPTS  
operation will not cross the 4 Gbyte boundary.  
2.2.4 Hardware Control of SCSI Activity LED  
The SYM53C896 has the ability to control a LED through the GPIO_0  
pin to indicate that it is connected to the SCSI bus. Formerly this function  
was done by a software driver.  
2-20  
Functional Description  
When bit 5 (LED_CNTL) in the General Purpose Pin Control (GPCNTL)  
register is set and bit 6 (Fetch Enable) in the GPCNTL register is cleared  
and the SYM53C896 is not performing an EEPROM autodownload, then  
bit 3 (CON) in the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) register will be presented  
at the GPIO_0 pin.  
The CON (Connected) bit in Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) will be set  
anytime the SYM53C896 is connected to the SCSI bus either as an  
initiator or a target. This will happen after the SYM53C896 has  
successfully completed a selection or when it has successfully  
responded to a selection or reselection. It will also be set when the  
SYM53C896 wins arbitration in low level mode.  
2.2.5 Designing an Ultra2 SCSI System  
Since Ultra2 SCSI is based on existing SCSI standards, it can use  
existing driver programs as long as the software is able to negotiate for  
Ultra2 SCSI synchronous transfer rates. Additional software  
modifications may be needed to take advantage of the new features in  
the SYM53C896.  
In the area of hardware, LVD SCSI is required to achieve Ultra2 SCSI  
transfer rates and to support the longer cable and additional devices on  
the bus. All devices on the bus must have LVD SCSI capabilities to  
guarantee Ultra2 SCSI transfer rates. For additional information on Ultra2  
SCSI, refer to the SPI-2 working document which is available from the  
SCSI BBS referenced at the beginning of this manual. Chapter 6,  
“Specifications” contains Ultra2 SCSI timing information. In addition to the  
guidelines in the draft standard, make the following software and  
hardware adjustments to accommodate Ultra2 SCSI transfers:  
Set the Ultra Enable bit to enable Ultra2 SCSI transfers.  
Set the TolerANT Enable bit, bit 7 in the SCSI Test Three (STEST3)  
register, whenever the Ultra Enable bit is set.  
Do not extend the SREQ/SACK filtering period with the SCSI Test  
Two (STEST2) register bit 1. When the Ultra Enable bit is set, the  
filtering period will be fixed at 8 ns for Ultra2 SCSI or 15 ns for Ultra  
SCSI, regardless of the value of the SREQ/SACK filtering bit.  
Use the SCSI clock quadrupler.  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-21  
2.2.5.1 Using the SCSI Clock Quadrupler  
The SYM53C896 can quadruple the frequency of a 40 MHz SCSI clock,  
allowing the system to perform Ultra2 SCSI transfers. This option is user  
selectable with bit settings in the SCSI Test One (STEST1), SCSI Test  
Three (STEST3), and SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) registers. At  
power-on or reset, the quadrupler is disabled and powered down. Follow  
these steps to use the clock quadrupler:  
1. Set the SCLK Quadrupler Enable bit (SCSI Test One (STEST1)  
register, bit 3).  
2. Poll bit 5 of the SCSI Test Four (STEST4) register. The SYM53C896  
sets this bit as soon as it locks in the 160 MHz frequency. The  
frequency lockin takes approximately 100 microseconds.  
3. Halt the SCSI clock by setting the Halt SCSI Clock bit (SCSI Test  
Three (STEST3) register, bit 5).  
4. Set the clock conversion factor using the SCF and CCF fields in the  
SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) register.  
5. Set the SCLK Quadrupler Select bit (SCSI Test One (STEST1), bit 2).  
6. Clear the Halt SCSI Clock bit.  
2.2.6 Prefetching SCRIPTS Instructions  
When enabled by setting the Prefetch Enable bit (bit 5) in the DMA  
Control (DCNTL) register, the prefetch logic in the SYM53C896 fetches 8  
dwords of instruction. The prefetch logic automatically determines the  
maximum burst size that it can perform, based on the burst length as  
determined by the values in the DMA Mode (DMODE) register. If the unit  
cannot perform bursts of at least four dwords, it disables itself. While the  
chip is prefetching SCRIPTS instructions, it will use PCI cache  
commands Memory Read Line, and Memory Read Multiple, if PCI  
caching is enabled.  
Note:  
This feature is only useful when fetching SCRIPTS  
instructions from main memory. Due to the short access  
time of SCRIPTS RAM, prefetching is not necessary when  
fetching instructions from this memory.  
The SYM53C896 may flush the contents of the prefetch unit under  
certain conditions to ensure that the chip always operates from the most  
current version of the SCRIPTS instruction. When one of these  
2-22  
Functional Description  
conditions applies, the contents of the prefetch unit are automatically  
flushed.  
On every Memory Move instruction. The Memory Move instruction is  
often used to place modified code directly into memory. To make  
sure that the chip executes all recent modifications, the prefetch unit  
flushes its contents and loads the modified code every time an  
instruction is issued. To avoid inadvertently flushing the prefetch unit  
contents, use the No Flush option for all Memory Move operations  
that do not modify code within the next 8 dwords. For more  
information on this instruction refer to Chapter 5, “SCSI SCRIPTS  
Instruction Set”.  
On every Store instruction. The Store instruction may also be used  
to place modified code directly into memory. To avoid inadvertently  
flushing the prefetch unit contents use the No Flush option for all  
Store operations that do not modify code within the next 8 dwords.  
On every write to the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register.  
On all Transfer Control instructions when the transfer conditions are  
met. This is necessary because the next instruction to execute is not  
the sequential next instruction in the prefetch unit.  
When the Prefetch Flush bit (DMA Control (DCNTL) register, bit 6) is  
set. The unit flushes whenever this bit is set. The bit is self-clearing.  
2.2.7 Opcode Fetch Burst Capability  
Setting the Burst Opcode Fetch Enable bit (bit 1) in the DMA Mode  
(DMODE) register (0x38) causes the SYM53C896 to burst in the first two  
dwords of all instruction fetches. If the instruction is a Memory-to-  
Memory Move, the third dword is accessed in a separate ownership. If  
the instruction is an Indirect Type, the additional dword is accessed in a  
subsequent bus ownership. If the instruction is a table indirect Block  
Move, the chip uses two accesses to obtain the four dwords required, in  
two bursts of two dwords each.  
Note:  
This feature is only useful if Prefetching is disabled.  
This feature is only useful if fetching SCRIPTS instructions  
from main memory. Due to the short access time of  
SCRIPTS RAM, burst opcode fetching is not necessary  
when fetching instructions from this memory.

2.2.8 Load/Store Instructions  
The SYM53C896 supports the Load/Store instruction type, which  
simplifies the movement of data between memory and the internal chip  
registers. It also enables the chip to transfer bytes to addresses relative  
to the Data Structure Address (DSA) register. Load/Store data transfers to  
or from the SCRIPTS RAM will remain internal to the chip and will not  
generate PCI bus cycles. While a Load/Store to or from SCRIPTS RAM  
is occurring, any external PCI slave cycles that occur will be retried on  
the PCI bus. This feature can be disabled by setting the DILS bit in the  
Chip Control 0 (CCNTL0) register. For more information on the Load/Store  
instructions refer to Chapter 5, “SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set”.  
2.2.9 JTAG Boundary Scan Testing  
The SYM53C896 includes support for JTAG boundary scan testing in  
accordance with the IEEE 1149.1 specification with one exception, which  
is explained in this section. This device accepts all required boundary  
scan instructions including the optional CLAMP, HIGH-Z, and IDCODE  
instructions.  
The SYM53C896 uses an 8-bit instruction register to support all  
boundary scan instructions. The data registers included in the device are  
the Boundary Data register, the IDCODE register, and the Bypass  
register. This device can handle a 10 MHz TCK frequency for TDO and  
TDI.  
Due to design constraints, the RST/ pin (system reset) always 3-states  
the SCSI pins when it is asserted. Boundary scan logic does not control  
this action, and this is not compliant with the specification. There are two  
solutions that resolve this issue:  
1. Use the RST/ pin as a boundary scan compliance pin. When the pin  
is deasserted, the device is boundary scan compliant and when  
asserted, the device is noncompliant. To maintain compliance the  
RST/ pin must be driven high.  
2. When RST/ is asserted during boundary scan testing the expected  
output on the SCSI pins must be the HIGH-Z condition, and not what  
is contained in the boundary scan data registers for the SCSI pin  
output cells.

Functional Description  
2.2.10 SCSI Loopback Mode  
The SYM53C896 loopback mode allows testing of both initiator and  
target functions and, in effect, lets the chip communicate with itself.  
When the Loopback Enable bit is set in the SCSI Test Two (STEST2)  
register, bit 4, the SYM53C896 allows control of all SCSI signals whether  
the chip is operating in the initiator or target mode. For more information  
®
on this mode of operation refer to the LSI Logic Symbios PCI to SCSI  
I/O Processors Programming Guide.  
2.2.11 Parity Options  
The SYM53C896 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. Table 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 SYM53C896.

2.2.12 DMA FIFO  
The DMA FIFO is 8 bytes wide by 118 transfers deep. The DMA FIFO is  
illustrated in Figure 2.3. The default DMA FIFO size is 112 bytes to  
assure compatibility with older products in the SYM53C8XX family.  
The DMA FIFO size may be set to 944 bytes by setting the DMA FIFO  
Size bit, bit 5, in the Chip Test Five (CTEST5) register.

The SYM53C896 supports 64-bit memory and automatically supports  
misaligned DMA transfers. A 944-byte FIFO allows the SYM53C896 to  
support 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 dword bursts across the PCI bus  
interface.  
2.2.12.1 Data Paths  
The data path through the SYM53C896 is dependent on whether data is  
being moved into or out of the chip, and whether SCSI data is being  
transferred asynchronously or synchronously.  
Figure 2.4 shows how data is moved to/from the SCSI bus in each of the  
different modes.  
The following items determine if any bytes remain in the data path when  
the chip halts an operation:  
Asynchronous SCSI Send –  
Step 1. If the DMA FIFO size is set to 112 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test  
Five (CTEST5) register cleared), look at the DMA FIFO (DFIFO)  
and DMA Byte Counter (DBC) registers and calculate if there  
are bytes left in the DMA FIFO. To make this calculation,  
subtract the seven least significant bits of the DBC register from  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-29  
the 7-bit value of the DFIFO register. AND the result with 0x7F  
for a byte count between zero and 112.  
If the DMA FIFO size is set to 944 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test  
Five (CTEST5) register is set), subtract the 10 least significant  
bits of the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register from the 10-bit  
value of the DMA FIFO Byte Offset Counter, which consists of  
bits [1:0] in the Chip Test Five (CTEST5) register and bits [7:0]  
of the DMA FIFO (DFIFO) register. AND the result with 0x3FF  
for a byte count between zero and 944.  
Step 2. Read bit 5 in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) and SCSI Status  
Two (SSTAT2) registers to determine if any bytes are left in the  
SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL) register. If bit 5 is set in the  
SSTAT0 or SSTAT2 register, then the least significant byte or  
the most significant byte in the SODL register is full. Checking  
this bit also reveals bytes left in the SODL register from a  
Chained Move operation with an odd byte count.  
Synchronous SCSI Send –  
Step 1. If the DMA FIFO size is set to 112 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test  
Five (CTEST5) register cleared), look at the DMA FIFO (DFIFO)  
and DMA Byte Counter (DBC) registers and calculate if there  
are bytes left in the DMA FIFO. To make this calculation,  
subtract the seven least significant bits of the DBC register from

of the DMA FIFO (DFIFO) register. AND the result with 0x3FF  
for a byte count between zero and 944.  
Step 2. Read bit 5 in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) and SCSI Status  
Two (SSTAT2) registers to determine if any bytes are left in the  
SODL register. If bit 5 is set in the SSTAT0 or SSTAT2 register,  
then the least significant byte or the most significant byte in the  
SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL) register is full. Checking this bit  
also reveals bytes left in the SODL register from a Chained  
Move operation with an odd byte count.

Functional Description  
Step 3. Read bit 6 in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) and SCSI Status  
Two (SSTAT2) registers to determine if any bytes are left in the  
SODR register (a hidden buffer register which is not  
accessible). If bit 6 is set in the SSTAT0 or SSTAT2 register,  
then the least significant byte or the most significant byte in the  
SODR register is full.  
Asynchronous SCSI Receive –  
Step 1. If the DMA FIFO size is set to 112 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test  
Five (CTEST5) register cleared), look at the DFIFO and DMA  
Byte Counter (DBC) registers and calculate if there are bytes left  
in the DMA FIFO. To make this calculation, subtract the seven  
least significant bits of the DBC register from the 7-bit value of  
the DMA FIFO (DFIFO) register. AND the result with 0x7F for a  
byte count between zero and 112.  
If the DMA FIFO size is set to 944 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test  
Five (CTEST5) register is set), subtract the 10 least significant  
bits of the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register from the 10-bit  
value of the DMA FIFO Byte Offset Counter, which consists of  
bits [1:0] in the CTEST5 register and bits [7:0] of the DMA FIFO  
(DFIFO) register. AND the result with 0x3FF for a byte count  
between zero and 944.  
Step 2. Read bit 7 in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) and SCSI Status  
Two (SSTAT2) registers to determine if any bytes are left in the  
SCSI Input Data Latch (SIDL) register. If bit 7 is set in the  
SSTAT0 or SSTAT2 registers, then the least significant byte or  
the most significant byte is full.  
Step 3. If any wide transfers have been performed using the Chained  
Move instruction, read the Wide SCSI Receive bit (SCSI Control  
Two (SCNTL2), bit 0) to determine whether a byte is left in the  
SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register.  
Synchronous SCSI Receive –  
Step 1. If the DMA FIFO size is set to 112 bytes, subtract the seven  
least significant bits of the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register  
from the 7-bit value of the DMA FIFO (DFIFO) register. AND the  
result with 0x7F for a byte count between zero and 112.

between zero and 944.  
Step 2. Read the SCSI Status One (SSTAT1) register and examine bits  
[7:4], the binary representation of the number of valid bytes in  
the SCSI FIFO, to determine if any bytes are left in the SCSI  
FIFO.  
Step 3. If any wide transfers have been performed using the Chained  
Move instruction, read the Wide SCSI Receive bit (SCSI Control  
Two (SCNTL2), bit 0) to determine whether a byte is left in the

2.2.13 SCSI Bus Interface  
The SYM53C896 performs SE and LVD transfers, and supports  
traditional HVD operation when the chip is connected to external HVD  
transceivers.  
2-32  
Functional Description  
To support LVD SCSI, all SCSI data and control signals have both  
negative and positive signal lines. The negative signals perform the SCSI  
data and control function. In the SE mode they become virtual ground  
drivers. In the HVD mode, the positive signals provide directional control  
to the external transceivers. TolerANT technology provides signal filtering  
at the inputs of SREQ/ and SACK/ to increase immunity to signal  
reflections.  
2.2.13.1 LVD Link Technology  
To support greater device connectivity and a longer SCSI cable, the  
SYM53C896 features LVD Link technology, the LSI Logic implementation  
of LVD SCSI. LVD Link transceivers provide the inherent reliability of  
differential SCSI, and a long-term migration path of faster SCSI transfer  
rates.  
LVD Link technology is based on current drive. Its low output current  
reduces the power needed to drive the SCSI bus, so that the I/O drivers  
can be integrated directly onto the chip. This reduces the cost and  
complexity compared to traditional HVD designs. LVD Link lowers the  
amplitude of noise reflections and allows higher transmission  
frequencies.  
The LSI Logic LVD Link transceivers operate in LVD or SE modes. They  
allow the chip to detect a HVD signal when the chip is connected to  
external HVD transceivers. The SYM53C896 automatically detects which  
type of signal is connected, based on the voltage detected by the  
DIFFSENS pin. Bits 7 and 6 of the SCSI Test Four (STEST4) register  
contain the encoded value for the type of signal that is detected (LVD,  
SE, or HVD). Please see the SCSI Test Four (STEST4) register  
description for encoding and other bit information.  
2.2.13.2 HVD Mode  
To maintain backward compatibility with legacy systems, the  
SYM53C896 can operate in the HVD mode (when the chip is connected  
to external differential transceivers). In the HVD mode, the SD[15:0]+,  
SDP[1:0]+, SREQ+, SACK+, SRST+, SBSY+, and SSEL+ signals control  
the direction of external differential pair transceivers. The SYM53C896 is  
placed in the HVD mode by setting the DIF bit, bit 5, of the SCSI Test  
Two (STEST2) register (0x4E). Setting this bit 3-states the SBSY,  
SSEL, and SRSTpads so they can be used as pure input pins. In  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-33  
addition to the standard SCSI lines, the signals shown in Table 2.6 are  
used by the SYM53C896 during HVD operation.

DIFFSENS  
Input to the SYM53C896 used to detect the voltage level of a SCSI signal to  
determine whether it is a SE, LVD, or HVD signal. The encoded result is  
displayed in SCSI Test Four (STEST4) bits 7 and 6.  
In the example differential wiring diagram in Figure 2.5, the SYM53C896 is  
connected to TI SN75976 differential transceivers for Ultra SCSI operation.  
The recommended value of the pull-up resistor on the SREQ, SACK,  
SMSG, SC_D, SI_O, SATN, SD[7:0], and SDP0lines is 680 Ω  
when the Active Negation portion of LSI Logic TolerANT technology is not  
enabled. When TolerANT technology is enabled, the recommended  
resistor value on the SREQ, SACK, SD[7:0], and SDP0signals is  
1.5 k. The electrical characteristics of these pins change when TolerANT  
technology is enabled, permitting a higher resistor value.  
To interface the SYM53C896 to the SN75976A, connect the positive pins  
in the SCSI LVD pair of the SYM53C896 directly to the transceiver  
enables (DE/RE/). These signals control the direction of the channels on  
the SN75976A.  
The SCSI bidirectional control and data pins (SD[7:0], SDP0, SREQ−,  
SACK, SMSG, SI_O, SC_D, and SATN) of the SYM53C896  
connect to the bidirectional data pins (nA) of the SN75976A with a  
pull-up resistor. The pull-up value should be no lower than the transceiver  
I
can tolerate, but not so high as to cause RC timing problems. The  
OL  
three remaining pins, SSEL, SBSYand SRST, are connected to the  
SN75976A with a pull-down resistor. The pull-down resistors are required  
2-34  
Functional Description  
when the pins (nA) of the SN75976A are configured as inputs. When the  
data pins are inputs, the resistors provide a bias voltage to both the  
SYM53C896 pins (SSEL, SBSY, and SRST) and the SN75976A data  
pins. Because the SSEL, SBSY, and SRSTpins on the SYM53C896  
are inputs only, this configuration allows for the SSEL, SBSY, and  
SRSTSCSI signals to be asserted on the SCSI bus.  
The differential pairs on the SCSI bus are reversed when connected to  
the SN75976A due to the active low nature of the SCSI bus.  
8-bit/16-bit SCSI and the HVD Interface – In an 8-bit SCSI bus, the  
SD[15:8] pins on the SYM53C896 should be pulled up with a 1.5 kΩ  
resistor or terminated like the rest of the SCSI bus lines. This is very  
important, as errors may occur during reselection if these lines are left  
floating.

2.2.13.3 SCSI Termination  
The terminator networks provide the biasing needed to pull signals to an  
inactive voltage level, and to match the impedance seen at the end of  
the cable with the characteristic impedance of the cable. Terminators  
must be installed at the extreme ends of the SCSI chain, and only at the  
ends. No system should ever have more or less than two terminators  
installed and active. SCSI host adapters should provide a means of  
accommodating terminators. There should be a means of disabling the  
termination.  
SE cables can use a 220 pull-up resistor to the terminator power  
supply (Term Power) line and a 330 pull-down resistor to ground.  
Because of the high-performance nature of the SYM53C896, regulated  
(or active) termination is recommended. Figure 2.6 shows a Unitrode  
active terminator. TolerANT technology active negation can be used with  
either termination network.  
For information on terminators that support LVD, refer to the SPI-2 draft  
standard.  
Note:  
If the SYM53C896 is to be used in a design with only an  
8-bit SCSI bus, all 16 data lines must be terminated.

2.2.14 Select/Reselect During Selection/Reselection  
In multithreaded SCSI I/O environments, it is not uncommon to be  
selected or reselected while trying to perform selection/reselection. This  
situation may occur when a SCSI controller (operating in the initiator  
mode) tries to select a target and is reselected by another. The Select  
SCRIPTS instruction has an alternate address to which the SCRIPTS will  
jump when this situation occurs. The analogous situation for target  
devices is being selected while trying to perform a reselection.  
Once a change in operating mode occurs, the initiator SCRIPTS should  
start with a Set Initiator instruction or the target SCRIPTS should start  
with a Set Target instruction. The Selection and Reselection Enable bits  
(SCSI Chip ID (SCID) bits 5 and 6, respectively) should both be asserted  
2-38  
Functional Description  
so that the SYM53C896 may respond as an initiator or as a target. If only  
selection is enabled, the SYM53C896 cannot be reselected as an  
initiator. There are also status and interrupt bits in the SCSI Interrupt  
Status Zero (SIST0) and SCSI Interrupt Enable Zero (SIEN0) registers,  
respectively, indicating that the SYM53C896 has been selected (bit 5)  
and reselected (bit 4).  
2.2.15 Synchronous Operation  
The SYM53C896 can transfer synchronous SCSI data in both the  
initiator and target modes. The SCSI Transfer (SXFER) register controls  
both the synchronous offset and the transfer period. It may be loaded by  
the CPU before SCRIPTS execution begins, from within SCRIPTS using  
a Table Indirect I/O instruction, or with a Read-Modify-Write instruction.  
The SYM53C896 can receive data from the SCSI bus at a synchronous  
transfer period as short as 25 ns, regardless of the transfer period used  
to send data. The SYM53C896 can receive data at one-fourth of the  
divided SCLK frequency. Depending on the SCLK frequency, the  
negotiated transfer period, and the synchronous clock divider, the  
SYM53C896 can send synchronous data at intervals as short as 25 ns  
for Ultra2 SCSI, 50 ns for Ultra SCSI, 100 ns for fast SCSI and 200 ns  
for SCSI-1.  
2.2.15.1 Determining the Data Transfer Rate  
Synchronous data transfer rates are controlled by bits in two different  
registers of the SYM53C896. Following is a brief description of the bits.  
Figure 2.7 illustrates the clock division factors used in each register, and  
the role of the register bits in determining the transfer rate.  
2.2.15.2 SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) Register, bits [6:4] (SCF[2:0])  
The SCF[2:0] bits select the factor by which the frequency of SCLK is  
divided before being presented to the synchronous SCSI control logic.  
The output from this divider controls the rate at which data can be  
received. This rate must not exceed 160 MHz. The receive rate of  
synchronous SCSI data is one-fourth of the SCF divider output. For  
example, if SCLK is 160 MHz and the SCF value is set to divide by one,  
then the maximum rate at which data can be received is 40 MHz  
(160/(1*4) = 40).  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-39  
2.2.15.3 SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) Register, bits [2:0] (CCF[2:0])  
The CCF[2:0] bits select the factor by which the frequency of SCLK is  
divided before being presented to the asynchronous SCSI core logic.  
This divider must be set according to the input clock frequency in the  
table.  
2.2.15.4 SCSI Transfer (SXFER) Register, bits [7:5] (TP[2:0])  
The TP[2:0] divider bits determine the SCSI synchronous transfer period  
when sending synchronous SCSI data in either the initiator or target  
mode. This value further divides the output from the SCF divider.  
2.2.15.5 Ultra2 SCSI Synchronous Data Transfers  
Ultra2 SCSI is an extension of the current Ultra SCSI synchronous  
transfer specifications. It allows synchronous transfer periods to be  
negotiated down as low as 25 ns, which is half the 50 ns period allowed  
under Ultra SCSI. This will allow a maximum transfer rate of 80 Mbytes/s  
on a 16-bit, LVD SCSI bus. The SYM53C896 has a SCSI clock  
quadrupler that must be enabled for the chip to perform Ultra2 SCSI  
transfers with a 40 MHz oscillator. In addition, the following bit values  
affect the chip’s ability to support Ultra2 SCSI synchronous transfer rates:  
Clock Conversion Factor bits, SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) register  
bits [2:0] and Synchronous Clock Conversion Factor bits, SCNTL3  
register bits [6:4]. These fields support a value of 111 (binary),  
allowing the 160 MHz SCLK frequency to be divided down by 8 for  
the asynchronous logic.  
Ultra2 SCSI Enable bit, SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) register bit 7.  
Setting this bit enables Ultra2 SCSI synchronous transfers in  
systems that use the internal SCSI clock quadrupler.  
TolerANT Enable bit, SCSI Test Three (STEST3) register bit 7. Active  
negation must be enabled for the SYM53C896 to perform Ultra2  
SCSI transfers.  
Note:  
The clock quadrupler requires a 40 MHz external clock.  
LSI Logic Symbios software assumes that the SYM53C896  
is connected to a 40 MHz external clock, which is  
quadrupled to achieve Ultra2 SCSI transfer rates.

2.2.16 Interrupt Handling  
The SCRIPTS processors in the SYM53C896 perform most functions  
independently of the host microprocessor. However, certain interrupt  
situations must be handled by the external microprocessor. This section  
explains all aspects of interrupts as they apply to the SYM53C896.  
2.2.16.1 Polling and Hardware Interrupts  
The external microprocessor is informed of an interrupt condition by  
polling or hardware interrupts. Polling means that the microprocessor  
must continually loop and read a register until it detects a bit that is set  
indicating an interrupt. This method is the fastest, but it wastes CPU time  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-41  
that could be used for other system tasks. The preferred method of  
detecting interrupts in most systems is hardware interrupts. In this case,  
the SYM53C896 asserts the Interrupt Request (INTA/ or INTB/) line that  
interrupts the microprocessor, causing the microprocessor to execute an  
interrupt service routine. A hybrid approach would use hardware  
interrupts for long waits, and use polling for short waits.  
SCSI Function A is routed to PCI Interrupt INTA/. SCSI Function B is  
normally routed to INTB/, but can be routed to INTA/ if a pull-up is  
connected to MAD[4]. See Section 3.7, “MAD Bus Programming” for  
additional information.  
2.2.16.2 Registers  
The registers in the SYM53C896 that are used for detecting or defining  
interrupts are ISTAT, SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0), SCSI Interrupt  
Status One (SIST1), SCSI Interrupt Enable Zero (SIEN0), SCSI Interrupt  
Enable One (SIEN1), DMA Control (DCNTL), and DMA Interrupt Enable  
(DIEN).  
ISTAT – The ISTAT register includes the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0),  
Interrupt Status One (ISTAT1), Mailbox Zero (MBOX0), and Mailbox One  
(MBOX1) registers. It is the only register that can be accessed as a slave  
during the SCRIPTS operation. Therefore, it is the register that is polled  
when polled interrupts are used. It is also the first register that should be  
read after the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin is asserted in association with a  
hardware interrupt. The INTF (Interrupt-on-the-Fly) bit should be the first  
interrupt serviced. It must be written to one to be cleared. This interrupt  
must be cleared before servicing any other interrupts.  
See Register 0x14, Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0), Bit 5 signal process in  
Chapter 4, “Registers” for additional information.  
The host (C Code) or the SCRIPTS code could potentially try to access  
the mailbox bits at the same time.  
If the SIP bit in the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) register is set, then a  
SCSI-type interrupt has occurred and the SCSI Interrupt Status Zero  
(SIST0) and SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1) registers should be read.  
If the DIP bit in the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) register is set, then a  
DMA-type interrupt has occurred and the DMA Status (DSTAT) register  
should be read.  
2-42  
Functional Description  
SCSI-type and DMA-type interrupts may occur simultaneously, so in  
some cases both SIP and DIP may be set.  
SIST0 and SIST1 – The SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) and SCSI  
Interrupt Status One (SIST1) registers contain SCSI-type interrupt bits.  
Reading these registers determines which condition or conditions caused  
the SCSI-type interrupt, and clears that SCSI interrupt condition.  
If the SYM53C896 is receiving data from the SCSI bus and a fatal  
interrupt condition occurs, the chip attempts to send the contents of the  
DMA FIFO to memory before generating the interrupt.  
If the SYM53C896 is sending data to the SCSI bus and a fatal SCSI  
interrupt condition occurs, data could be left in the DMA FIFO. Because  
of this the DMA FIFO Empty (DFE) bit in DMA Status (DSTAT) should be  
checked.  
If this bit is cleared, set the CLF (Clear DMA FIFO) and CSF (Clear SCSI  
FIFO) bits before continuing. The CLF bit is bit 2 in Chip Test Three  
(CTEST3). The CSF bit is bit 1 in SCSI Test Three (STEST3).  
DSTAT – The DMA Status (DSTAT) register contains the DMA-type  
interrupt bits. Reading this register determines which condition or  
conditions caused the DMA-type interrupt, and clears that DMA interrupt  
condition. Bit 7 in DSTAT, DFE, is purely a status bit; it will not generate  
an interrupt under any circumstances and will not be cleared when read.  
DMA interrupts flush neither the DMA nor SCSI FIFOs before generating  
the interrupt, so the DFE bit in the DSTAT register should be checked  
after any DMA interrupt.  
If the DFE bit is cleared, then the FIFOs must be cleared by setting the  
CLF (Clear DMA FIFO) and CSF (Clear SCSI FIFO) bits, or flushed by  
setting the FLF (Flush DMA FIFO) bit.  
SIEN0 and SIEN1 – The SCSI Interrupt Enable Zero (SIEN0) and SCSI  
Interrupt Enable One (SIEN1) registers are the interrupt enable registers  
for the SCSI interrupts in SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) and SCSI  
Interrupt Status One (SIST1).  
DIEN – The DMA Interrupt Enable (DIEN) register is the interrupt enable  
register for DMA interrupts in DMA Status (DSTAT).  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-43  
DMA Control (DCNTL) When bit 1 in this register is set, the INTA/ (or  
INTB/) pin is not asserted when an interrupt condition occurs. The  
interrupt is not lost or ignored, but is merely masked at the pin. Clearing  
this bit when an interrupt is pending immediately causes the INTA/ (or  
INTB/) pin to assert. As with any register other than ISTAT, this register  
cannot be accessed except by a SCRIPTS instruction during SCRIPTS  
execution.  
2.2.16.3 Fatal vs. Nonfatal Interrupts  
A fatal interrupt, as the name implies, always causes the SCRIPTS to  
stop running. All nonfatal interrupts become fatal when they are enabled  
by setting the appropriate interrupt enable bit. Interrupt masking is  
discussed in Section 2.2.16.4, “Masking”. All DMA interrupts (indicated by  
the DIP bit in Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) and one or more bits in DMA  
Status (DSTAT) being set) are fatal.  
Some SCSI interrupts (indicated by the SIP bit in the Interrupt Status Zero  
(ISTAT0) and one or more bits in SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) or  
SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1) being set) are nonfatal.  
When the SYM53C896 is operating in the Initiator mode, only the  
Function Complete (CMP), Selected (SEL), Reselected (RSL), General  
Purpose Timer Expired (GEN), and Handshake-to-Handshake Timer  
Expired (HTH) interrupts are nonfatal.  
When operating in the Target mode, CMP, SEL, RSL, Target mode:  
SATN/ active (M/A), GEN, and HTH are nonfatal. Refer to the description  
for the Disable Halt on a Parity Error or SATN/ active (Target Mode Only)  
(DHP) bit in the SCSI Control One (SCNTL1) register to configure the  
chip’s behavior when the SATN/ interrupt is enabled during Target mode  
operation. The Interrupt-on-the-Fly interrupt is also nonfatal, since  
SCRIPTS can continue when it occurs.  
The reason for nonfatal interrupts is to prevent the SCRIPTS from  
stopping when an interrupt occurs that does not require service from the  
CPU. This prevents an interrupt when arbitration is complete (CMP set),  
when the SYM53C896 is selected or reselected (SEL or RSL set), when  
the initiator asserts ATN (target mode: SATN/ active), or when the  
General Purpose or Handshake-to-Handshake timers expire. These  
interrupts are not needed for events that occur during high-level  
SCRIPTS operation.  
2-44  
Functional Description  
2.2.16.4 Masking  
Masking an interrupt means disabling or ignoring that interrupt. Interrupts  
can be masked by clearing bits in the SCSI Interrupt Enable Zero (SIEN0)  
and SCSI Interrupt Enable One (SIEN1) (for SCSI interrupts) registers or  
DMA Interrupt Enable (DIEN) (for DMA interrupts) register. How the chip  
responds to masked interrupts depends on: whether polling or hardware  
interrupts are being used; whether the interrupt is fatal or nonfatal; and  
whether the chip is operating in the Initiator or Target mode.  
If a nonfatal interrupt is masked and that condition occurs, the SCRIPTS  
do not stop, the appropriate bit in the SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0)  
or SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1) is still set, the SIP bit in the Interrupt  
Status Zero (ISTAT0) is not set, and the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin is not  
asserted.  
If a fatal interrupt is masked and that condition occurs, then the SCRIPTS  
still stop, the appropriate bit in the DMA Status (DSTAT), SCSI Interrupt  
Status Zero (SIST0), or SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1) register is set,  
and the SIP or DIP bit in the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) register is set,  
but the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin is not asserted.  
Interrupts can be disabled by setting the SYNC_IRQD bit in the Interrupt  
Status One (ISTAT1) register. If an interrupt is already asserted and  
SYNC_IRQD is then set, the interrupt will remain until serviced. Further  
interrupts will be blocked.  
When the SYM53C896 is initialized, enable all fatal interrupts if hardware  
interrupts are being used. If a fatal interrupt is disabled and that interrupt  
condition occurs, the SCRIPTS halts and the system never knows it  
unless it times out and checks the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0), Interrupt  
Status One (ISTAT1), Mailbox Zero (MBOX0), and Mailbox One (MBOX1)  
registers after a certain period of inactivity.  
If ISTAT is being polled instead of using hardware interrupts, then  
masking a fatal interrupt makes no difference since the SIP and DIP bits  
in the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) inform the system of interrupts, not  
the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin.  
Masking an interrupt after INTA/ (or INTB/) is asserted does not cause  
deassertion of INTA/ (or INTB/).  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-45  
2.2.16.5 Stacked Interrupts  
The SYM53C896 will stack interrupts, if they occur, one after the other.  
If the SIP or DIP bits in the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) register are set  
(first level), then there is already at least one pending interrupt, and any  
future interrupts are stacked in extra registers behind the SCSI Interrupt  
Status Zero (SIST0), SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1), and DMA Status  
(DSTAT) registers (second level). When two interrupts have occurred and  
the two levels of the stack are full, any further interrupts set additional  
bits in the extra registers behind SIST0, SIST1, and DSTAT. When the  
first level of interrupts are cleared, all the interrupts that came in  
afterward move into SIST0, SIST1, and DSTAT. After the first interrupt is  
cleared by reading the appropriate register, the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin is  
deasserted for a minimum of three CLKs; the stacked interrupts move  
into SIST0, SIST1, or DSTAT; and the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin is asserted  
once again.  
Since a masked nonfatal interrupt does not set the SIP or DIP bits,  
interrupt stacking does not occur. A masked, nonfatal interrupt still posts  
the interrupt in SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0), but does not assert the  
INTA/ (or INTB/) pin. Since no interrupt is generated, future interrupts  
move into SIST0 or SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1) instead of being  
stacked behind another interrupt. When another condition occurs that  
generates an interrupt, the bit corresponding to the earlier masked  
nonfatal interrupt is still set.  
A related situation to interrupt stacking is when two interrupts occur  
simultaneously. Since stacking does not occur until the SIP or DIP bits  
are set, there is a small timing window in which multiple interrupts can  
occur but are not stacked. These could be multiple SCSI interrupts (SIP  
set), multiple DMA interrupts (DIP set), or multiple SCSI and multiple  
DMA interrupts (both SIP and DIP set).  
As previously mentioned, DMA interrupts do not attempt to flush the  
FIFOs before generating the interrupt. It is important to set either the  
Clear DMA FIFO (CLF) and Clear SCSI FIFO (CSF) bits if a DMA  
interrupt occurs and the DMA FIFO Empty (DFE) bit is not set. This is  
because any future SCSI interrupts are not posted until the DMA FIFO  
is cleared of data. These ‘locked out’ SCSI interrupts are posted as soon  
as the DMA FIFO is empty.  
2-46  
Functional Description  
2.2.16.6 Halting in an Orderly Fashion  
When an interrupt occurs, the SYM53C896 attempts to halt in an orderly  
fashion.  
If the interrupt occurs in the middle of an instruction fetch, the fetch  
is completed, except in the case of a Bus Fault. Execution does not  
begin, but the DSP points to the next instruction since it is updated  
when the current instruction is fetched.  
If the DMA direction is a write to memory and a SCSI interrupt  
occurs, the SYM53C896 attempts to flush the DMA FIFO to memory  
before halting. Under any other circumstances only the current cycle  
is completed before halting, so the DFE bit in DMA Status (DSTAT)  
should be checked to see if any data remains in the DMA FIFO.  
SCSI SREQ/SACK handshakes that have begun are completed  
before halting.  
The SYM53C896 attempts to clean up any outstanding synchronous  
offset before halting.  
In the case of Transfer Control Instructions, once instruction  
execution begins it continues to completion before halting.  
If the instruction is a JUMP/CALL WHEN/IF <phase>, the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) is updated to the transfer address before  
halting.  
All other instructions may halt before completion.  
2.2.16.7 Sample Interrupt Service Routine  
The following is a sample of an interrupt service routine for the  
SYM53C896. It can be repeated if polling is used, or should be called  
when the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin is asserted if hardware interrupts are used.  
1. Read Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0).  
2. If the INTF bit is set, it must be written to a one to clear this status.  
3. If only the SIP bit is set, read SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) and  
SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1) to clear the SCSI interrupt  
condition and get the SCSI interrupt status. The bits in the SIST0  
and SIST1 tell which SCSI interrupts occurred and determine what  
action is required to service the interrupts.  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-47  
4. If only the DIP bit is set, read DMA Status (DSTAT) to clear the  
interrupt condition and get the DMA interrupt status. The bits in  
DSTAT tell which DMA interrupts occurred and determine what action  
is required to service the interrupts.  
5. If both the SIP and DIP bits are set, read SCSI Interrupt Status Zero  
(SIST0), SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1), and DMA Status (DSTAT)  
to clear the SCSI and DMA interrupt condition and get the interrupt  
status. If using 8-bit reads of the SIST0, SIST1, and DSTAT registers  
to clear interrupts, insert a 12 clock delay between the consecutive  
reads to ensure that the interrupts clear properly. Both the SCSI and  
DMA interrupt conditions should be handled before leaving the  
Interrupt Service Routine. It is recommended that the DMA interrupt  
is serviced before the SCSI interrupt, because a serious DMA  
interrupt condition could influence how the SCSI interrupt is acted  
upon.  
6. When using polled interrupts go back to step 1 before leaving the  
interrupt service routine in case any stacked interrupts moved in  
when the first interrupt was cleared. When using hardware interrupts,  
the INTA/ (or INTB/) pin is asserted again if there are any stacked  
interrupts. This should cause the system to re-enter the interrupt  
service routine.  
2.2.17 Interrupt Routing  
This section documents the recommended approach to RAID ready  
interrupt routing for the SYM53C896. In order to be compatible with AMI  
RAID upgrade products and the SYM53C896, the following requirements  
must be met:  
When a RAID upgrade card is installed in the upgrade slot, interrupts  
from the motherboard SCSI controller(s) assigned to the RAID  
upgrade card must be routed to INTC/ and INTD/ of the upgrade slot  
and isolated from the motherboard interrupt controller. The system  
processor must not see interrupts from the SCSI controllers that are  
to be serviced by the RAID upgrade card. An upgrade slot is one that  
is connected to the interrupt routing logic for motherboard SCSI  
device(s). When a PCI RAID upgrade board is installed into the  
system, it would be plugged into this slot if it is to control  
motherboard SCSI device(s).  
2-48  
Functional Description  
The TDI pin of the upgrade slot must be connected to the INT_DIR/  
pin of the SYM53C896.  
When a RAID upgrade card is not installed, interrupts from a SCSI  
core must not be presented to the system’s interrupt controller using  
multiple interrupt inputs.  
Figure 2.8 shows an example configuration. In this example the  
SYM53C896 Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Controller contains the interrupt  
routing logic.  
The SYM53C896 supports four different interrupt routing modes.  
Additional information for these modes may be found in register 0x4D,  
SCSI Test One (STEST1) description in Chapter 4, “Registers”. Each SCSI  
core within the chip may be configured independently. The interrupt  
routing mode is selected using bits [1:0] in the STEST1 register within  
each core. Mode 0 is the default mode and is compatible with AMI RAID  
upgrade products.  
If the implementation shown in Figure 2.8 is used, INTC/ and INTD/ of  
the PCI RAID upgrade slot cannot be used when a non-RAID upgrade  
card is installed in the slot. If this restriction is not acceptable, additional  
buffer logic must be implemented on the motherboard. As long as the  
interrupt routing requirements stated above are satisfied, a motherboard  
designer could implement this design with external logic.

There can only be one entity controlling a motherboard SCSI core or  
conflicts will occur. Typically a SCSI core will be controlled by the SCSI  
BIOS and an operating system driver. When a SCSI core is allocated to  
a RAID adapter, however, a mechanism must be implemented to prevent  
the SCSI BIOS and operating system driver from trying to access the  
SCSI core. The motherboard designer has several options to choose  
from for doing this.  
The first option is to have the SCSI core load its PCI Subsystem ID using  
a serial EPROM on power-up. If bit 15 in this ID is set, the LSI Logic  
Symbios BIOS and operating system drivers will ignore the chip. This  
makes it possible to control the assignment of the motherboard SCSI  
cores using a configuration utility.  
The second option is to provide motherboard and system BIOS support  
for NVS. The SCSI core may then be enabled or disabled using the SCSI  
BIOS configuration utility. Not all versions of the Symbios drivers support  
this capability.  
2-50  
Functional Description  
The third option is to have the system BIOS not report the existence of  
the SCSI controller chips when the SCSI BIOS and operating systems  
make PCI BIOS calls. This approach requires modifications to the  
system BIOS and assumes the operating system uses PCI BIOS calls  
when searching for PCI devices.  
2.2.18 Chained Block Moves  
Since the SYM53C896 has the capability to transfer 16-bit wide SCSI  
data, a unique situation occurs when dealing with odd bytes. The  
Chained Move (CHMOV) SCRIPTS instruction along with the Wide SCSI  
Send (WSS) and Wide SCSI Receive (WSR) bits in the SCSI Control Two  
(SCNTL2) register are used to facilitate these situations. The Chained  
Block Move instruction is illustrated in Figure 2.9.  
2.2.18.1 Wide SCSI Send Bit  
The WSS bit is set whenever the SCSI controller is sending data  
(Data-Out for the initiator or Data-In for the target) and the controller  
detects a partial transfer at the end of a chained Block Move SCRIPTS  
instruction (this flag is not set if a normal Block Move instruction is used).  
Under this condition, the SCSI controller does not send the low-order  
byte of the last partial memory transfer across the SCSI bus. Instead, the  
low-order byte is temporarily stored in the lower byte of the SCSI Output  
Data Latch (SODL) register and the WSS flag is set. The hardware uses  
the WSS flag to determine what behavior must occur at the start of the  
next data send transfer. When the WSS flag is set at the start of the next  
transfer, the first byte (the high-order byte) of the next data send transfer  
is “married” with the stored low-order byte in the SODL register; and the  
two bytes are sent out across the bus, regardless of the type of Block  
Move instruction (normal or chained). The flag is automatically cleared  
when the “married” word is sent. The flag is alternately cleared through  
SCRIPTS or by the microprocessor. Also, the microprocessor or  
SCRIPTS can use this bit for error detection and recovery purposes.  
2.2.18.2 Wide SCSI Receive Bit  
The WSR bit is set whenever the SCSI controller is receiving data  
(Data-In for the initiator or Data-Out for the target) and the controller  
detects a partial transfer at the end of a block move or chained block  
move SCRIPTS instruction. When WSR is set, the high-order byte of the  
SCSI Functional Description  
2-51  
last SCSI bus transfer is not transferred to memory. Instead, the byte is  
temporarily stored in the SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register. The  
hardware uses the WSR bit to determine what behavior must occur at  
the start of the next data receive transfer. The bit is automatically cleared  
at the start of the next data receive transfer. The bit can alternatively be  
cleared by the microprocessor or through SCRIPTS. Also, the  
microprocessor or SCRIPTS can use this bit for error detection and  
recovery purposes.  
2.2.18.3 SWIDE Register  
This register is used to store data for partial byte data transfers. For  
receive data, the SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register holds the  
high-order byte of a partial SCSI transfer which has not yet been  
transferred to memory. This stored data may be a residue byte (and  
therefore ignored) or it may be valid data that is transferred to memory  
at the beginning of the next Block Move instruction.  
2.2.18.4 SODL Register  
For send data, the low-order byte of the SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL)  
register holds the low-order byte of a partial memory transfer which has  
not yet been transferred across the SCSI bus. This stored data is usually  
“married” with the first byte of the next data send transfer, and both bytes  
are sent across the SCSI bus at the start of the next data send block  
move command.  
2.2.18.5 Chained Block Move SCRIPTS Instruction  
A chained Block Move SCRIPTS instruction is primarily used to transfer  
consecutive data send or data receive blocks. Using the chained Block  
Move instruction facilitates partial receive transfers and allows correct  
partial send behavior without additional opcode overhead. Behavior of  
the chained Block Move instruction varies slightly for sending and  
receiving data.  
For receive data (Data-In for the initiator or Data-Out for the target), a  
chained Block Move instruction indicates that if a partial transfer occurred  
at the end of the instruction, the WSR flag is set. The high-order byte of  
the last SCSI transfer is stored in the SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE)  
register rather than transferred to memory. The contents of the SWIDE  
register should be the first byte transferred to memory at the start of the  
2-52  
Functional Description  
chained Block Move data stream. Since the byte count always represents  
data transfers to/from memory (as opposed to the SCSI bus), the byte  
transferred out of the SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register is one of the  
bytes in the byte count. If the WSR bit is cleared when a receive data  
chained Block Move instruction is executed, the data transfer occurs  
similar to that of the regular Block Move instruction. Whether the WSR  
bit is set or cleared, when a normal block move instruction is executed,  
the contents of the SWIDE register are ignored and the transfer takes  
place normally. For “N” consecutive wide data receive Block Move  
instructions, the 2nd through the Nth Block Move instructions should be  
chained block moves.  
For send data (Data-Out for the initiator or Data-In for the target), a  
chained Block Move instruction indicates that if a partial transfer  
terminates the chained block move instruction, the last low-order byte  
(the partial memory transfer) should be stored in the lower byte of the  
SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL) register and not sent across the SCSI  
bus. Without the chained Block Move instruction, the last low-order byte  
would be sent across the SCSI bus. The starting byte count represents  
data bytes transferred from memory but not to the SCSI bus when a  
partial transfer exists. For example, if the instruction is an Initiator  
chained Block Move Data Out of five bytes (and WSS is not previously  
set), five bytes are transferred out of memory to the SCSI controller, four  
bytes are transferred from the SCSI controller across the SCSI bus, and  
one byte is temporarily stored in the lower byte of the SODL register  
waiting to be married with the first byte of the next Block Move  
instruction. Regardless of whether a chained Block Move or normal Block  
Move instruction is used, if the WSS bit is set at the start of a data send  
command, the first byte of the data send command is assumed to be the  
high-order byte and is “married” with the low-order byte stored in the  
lower byte of the SODL register before the two bytes are sent across the  
SCSI bus. For “N” consecutive wide data send Block Move commands,  
th  
the first through the (N 1) Block Move instructions should be Chained  
Block Moves.

Functional Description  
2.3 Parallel ROM Interface  
The SYM53C896 supports up to one megabyte of external memory in  
binary increments from 16 Kbytes to allow the use of expansion ROM for  
add-in PCI cards. Both functions of the device share the ROM interface.  
This interface is designed for low speed operations such as downloading  
instruction code from ROM. It is not intended for dynamic activities such  
as executing instructions.  
System requirements include the SYM53C896, two or three external  
8-bit address holding registers (HCT273 or HCT374), and the  
appropriate memory device. The 4.7 kpull-up resistors on the MAD bus  
require HC or HCT external components to be used. If in-system Flash  
ROM updates are required, a 7406 (high voltage open collector inverter),  
a MTD4P05, and several passive components are also needed. The  
memory size and speed is determined by pull-up resistors on the  
8-bit bidirectional memory bus at power-up. The SYM53C896 senses this  
bus shortly after the release of the Reset signal and configures the  
Expansion ROM Base Address register and the memory cycle state  
machines for the appropriate conditions.  
The external memory interface works with a variety of ROM sizes and  
speeds. An example set of interface drawings is in Appendix B, “External  
Memory Interface Diagram Examples”.  
The SYM53C896 supports a variety of sizes and speeds of expansion  
ROM, using pull-down resistors on the MAD[3:0] pins. The encoding of  
pins MAD[3:1] allows the user to define how much external memory is  
available to the SYM53C896. Table 2.7 shows the memory space  
Parallel ROM Interface  
2-55  
associated with the possible values of MAD[3:1]. The MAD[3:1] pins are  
fully described in Chapter 3, “Signal Descriptions”.

To use one of the configurations mentioned above in a host adapter  
board design, put 4.7 kpull-up resistors on the MAD pins  
corresponding to the available memory space. For example, to connect  
to a 64 Kbytes external ROM, use a pull-up on MAD[2]. If the external  
memory interface is not used, MAD[3:1] should be pulled high.  
Note:  
There are internal pull-downs on all of the MAD bus  
signals.  
The SYM53C896 allows the system to determine the size of the available  
external memory using the Expansion ROM Base Address register in the  
PCI configuration space. For more information on how this works, refer  
to the PCI specification or the Expansion ROM Base Address register  
description in Chapter 4, “Registers”.  
MAD[0] is the slow ROM pin. When pulled up, it enables two extra clock  
cycles of data access time to allow use of slower memory devices. The  
external memory interface also supports updates to flash memory.  
2-56  
Functional Description  
2.4 Serial EEPROM Interface  
The SYM53C896 implements an interface that allows attachment of a  
serial EEPROM device to the GPIO0 and GPIO1 pins for each SCSI  
function. There are two modes of operation relating to the serial  
EEPROM and the Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID registers for  
each SCSI function. These modes are programmable through the  
MAD[7] pin which is sampled at power-up or hard reset.  
2.4.1 Default Download Mode  
In this mode, MAD[7] is pulled down internally, GPIO0 is the serial data  
signal (SDA) and GPIO1 is the serial clock signal (SCL). Certain data in  
the serial EEPROM is automatically loaded into chip registers at  
power-up or hard reset.  
The format of the serial EEPROM data is defined in Table 2.8. If the  
download is enabled and an EEPROM is not present, or the checksum  
fails, the Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID registers read back all  
zeros. At power-up or hard reset, only five bytes are loaded into the chip  
from locations 0xFB through 0xFF.  
The Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID registers are read only, in  
accordance with the PCI specification, with a default value of all zeros if  
the download fails.

0x100–EOM UD  
User Data.  
2.4.2 No Download Mode  
When MAD[7] is pulled up through an external resistor, the automatic  
download is disabled and no data is automatically loaded into chip  
registers at power-up or hard reset. The Subsystem ID and Subsystem  
Vendor ID registers are read only, per the PCI specification, with a default  
value of 0x1000 and 0x1000 respectively.  
2.5 Power Management  
The SYM53C896 complies with the PCI Bus Power Management  
Interface Specification, Revision 1.1. The PCI Function Power States D0,  
D1, D2, and D3 are defined in that specification.  
D0 is the maximum powered state, and D3 is the minimum powered  
state. Power state D3 is further categorized as D3hot or D3cold. A  
function that is powered off is said to be in the D3cold power state.  
2-58  
Functional Description  
The SYM53C896 power states are independently controlled through two  
power state bits that are located in the PCI Configuration Space  
Power Management Control/Status (PMCSR) register 0x44–0x45.

Although the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification does  
not allow power state transitions D2 to D1, D3 to D2, or D3 to D1, the  
SYM53C896 hardware places no restriction on transitions between  
power states.  
The PCI Function Power States D0, D1, D2, and D3 are described below  
in conjunction with each SCSI function. Power state actions are separate  
for each function.  
As the device transitions from one power level to a lower one, the  
attributes that occur from the higher power state level are carried over  
into the lower power state level. For example, D1 disables the SCSI CLK.  
Therefore, D2 will include this attribute as well as the attributes defined  
in the Power State D2 section. The PCI Function Power States - D0, D1,  
D2, and D3 are described below in conjunction with each SCSI function.  
Power state actions are separate for each function.  
2.5.1 Power State D0  
Power state D0 is the maximum power state and is the power-up default  
state for each function. The SYM53C896 is fully functional in this state.  
2.5.2 Power State D1  
Power state D1 is a lower power state than D0. A function in this state  
places the SYM53C896 core in the snooze mode and disables the SCSI  
Power Management  
2-59  
CLK. In the snooze mode, a SCSI reset does not generate an IRQ/  
signal.  
2.5.3 Power State D2  
Power state D2 is a lower power state than D1. A function in this state  
places the SYM53C896 core in the coma mode. The following PCI  
Configuration Space Command register enable bits are suppressed:  
I/O Space Enable  
Memory Space Enable  
Bus Mastering Enable  
SERR/Enable  
Enable Parity Error Response  
Thus, the function's memory and I/O spaces cannot be accessed, and  
the function cannot be a PCI bus master. Furthermore, SCSI and DMA  
interrupts are disabled when the function is in power state D2. If the  
function is changed from power state D2 to power state D1 or D0, the  
previous values of the PCI Command register are restored. Also, any  
pending interrupts before the function entered power state D2 are  
asserted.  
2.5.4 Power State D3  
Power state D3 is the minimum power state, which includes settings  
called D3hot and D3cold. D3hot allows the device to transition to D0  
using software. The SYM53C896 is considered to be in power state  
D3cold when power is removed from the device. D3cold can transition to  
D0 by applying V  
and resetting the device.  
CC  
Power state D3 is a lower power level than power state D2. A function in  
this state places the SYM53C896 core in the coma mode. Furthermore,  
the function's soft reset is continually asserted while in power state D3,  
which clears all pending interrupts and 3-states the SCSI bus. In  
addition, the function's PCI Command register is cleared. If both of the  
SYM53C896 functions are placed in power state D3, the Clock  
Quadrupler is disabled, which results in additional power savings.

Signal Descriptions  
This chapter presents the SYM53C896 pin configuration and signal  
definitions using tables and illustrations. Figure 3.1 is the functional signal  
grouping. The signal descriptions begin with Table 3.2. The signal  
descriptions are organized into functional groups:  
Section 3.1, “Internal Pull-ups on SYM53C896 Signals”  
Section 3.2, “PCI Bus Interface Signals”  
Section 3.3, “SCSI Bus Interface Signals”  
Section 3.4, “ROM Flash and Memory Interface Signals”  
Section 3.5, “Test Interface Signals”  
Section 3.6, “Power and Ground Signals”  
Section 3.7, “MAD Bus Programming”  
The PCI Interface signals are divided into the following functional groups:  
System Signals, Address and Data Signals, Interface Control Signals,  
Arbitration Signals, Error Reporting Signals, Interrupt Signals, SCSI  
Function A GPIO Signals, and SCSI Function B GPIO Signals.  
The SCSI Bus Interface signals are divided into SCSI Function A Signals,  
and SCSI Function B Signals groups.  
A slash (/) at the end of a signal name indicates that the active state  
occurs when the signal is at a low voltage. When the slash is absent, the  
signal is active at a high voltage.

N/A  
Clock provides timing for all transactions on the PCI bus and  
is an input to every PCI device. All other PCI signals are  
sampled on the rising edge of CLK, and other timing  
parameters are defined with respect to this edge. Clock can  
optionally serve as the SCSI core clock, but this may effect fast  
SCSI-2 (or faster) transfer rates.  
RST/  
G1  
I
N/A  
Reset forces the PCI sequencer of each device to a known  
state. All T/S and S/T/S signals are forced to a high impedance  
state, and all internal logic is reset. The RST/ input is  
synchronized internally to the rising edge of CLK. The CLK  
input must be active while RST/ is active to properly reset the  
device.

PCI  
Physical dword Address and Data are  
multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A bus  
transaction consists of an address phase  
followed by one or more data phases.  
During the first clock of a transaction,  
AD[63:0] contain a 64-bit physical byte  
address. If the command is a DAC,  
implying a 64-bit address, AD[31:0] will  
contain the upper 32 bits of the address  
during the second clock of the  
transaction. During subsequent clocks,  
AD[63:0] contain data. PCI supports both  
read and write bursts. AD[7:0] define the  
least significant byte, and AD[63:56]

SCSI Clock is used to derive all SCSI-related timings. The  
speed of this clock is determined by the application’s  
requirements. In some applications, SCLK may be sourced  
internally from the PCI bus clock (CLK). If SCLK is internally  
sourced, then the SCLK pin should be tied low. For Ultra2  
SCSI operations, the clock supplied to SCLK must be 40  
MHz. The clock frequency will be quadrupled to create the  
160 MHz clock required internally by both SCSI functions.

Signal Descriptions  
3.7 MAD Bus Programming  
The MAD[7:0] pins, in addition to serving as the address/data bus for the  
local memory interface, also are used to program power-up options for  
the chip. A particular option is programmed allowing the internal  
pull-down current sink to pull the pin LOW at reset or by connecting a  
4.7 kresistor between the appropriate MAD[x] pin and V . The  
SS  
pull-down resistors require that HC or HCT external components are  
used for the memory interface.  
MAD[7] Serial EEPROM programmable option. When allowed to be  
pulled LOW by the internal pull-down current sink, the automatic data  
download is enabled. When pulled HIGH by an external resistor, the  
automatic data download is disabled. Please see Section 2.4, “Serial  
EEPROM Interface” and Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID  
Registers in Chapter 4, “Registers” for additional information.  
MAD[6] Enable B duplicate SCSI REQ/ and ACK/ signals. When  
allowed to be pulled LOW by the internal pull-down current sink, the  
duplicate SCSI REQ/ and ACK/ signals for channel B are disabled.  
When pulled HIGH by an external resistor, the duplicate SCSI REQ/  
and ACK/ signals for channel B are enabled.  
MAD[5] Enable A duplicate SCSI REQ/ and ACK/ signals. When  
allowed to be pulled LOW by the internal pull-down current sink, the  
duplicate SCSI REQ/ and ACK/ signals for channel A are disabled.  
When pulled HIGH by an external resistor, the duplicate SCSI REQ/  
and ACK/ signals for channel A are enabled.  
MAD[4] INTA/ routing enable. Placing a pull-up resistor on this pin  
causes SCSI Function B interrupt requests to appear on the INTA/  
pin, along with SCSI Function A interrupt requests, instead of on  
INTB/. Placing a pull-up resistor on this pin also causes the SCSI  
Function B Interrupt Pin register (0x3D) in PCI configuration space  
to be programmed to 0x01 instead of 0x02.  
Placing no resistor on this pin causes SCSI Function B interrupt  
requests to appear on the INTB/ pin. Placing no resistor on this pin  
also causes the SCSI Function B Interrupt Pin register (0x3D) in PCI  
configuration space to be programmed to 0x02.  
The MAD[3:1] pins are used to set the size of the external expansion  
ROM device attached. Encoding for these pins is listed in Table 3.18  
MAD Bus Programming  
3-23  
(“0” indicates a pull-down resistor is attached, “1” indicates a pull-up  
resistor attached).

The MAD[0] pin is the slow ROM pin. When pulled up, it enables two  
extra cycles of data access time to allow use of slower memory  
devices.  
All MAD pins have internal pull-down resistors.

Registers  
This section contains descriptions of all SYM53C896 registers. The term  
“set” is used to refer to bits that are programmed to a binary one.  
Similarly, the term “cleared” is used to refer to bits that are programmed  
to a binary zero. Write any bits marked as reserved to zero; mask all  
information read from them. Reserved bit functions may change at any  
time. Unless otherwise indicated, all bits in the registers are active high,  
that is, the feature is enabled by setting the bit. The bottom row of every  
register diagram shows the default register values, which are enabled  
after the chip is powered on or reset.  
This chapter contains the following sections:  
Section 4.1, “PCI Configuration Registers”  
Section 4.2, “SCSI Registers”  
Section 4.3, “64-Bit SCRIPTS Selectors”  
Section 4.4, “Phase Mismatch Jump Registers”  
4.1 PCI Configuration Registers  
The PCI Configuration registers are accessed by performing a  
configuration read/write to the device with its IDSEL pin asserted and the  
appropriate value in AD[10:8] during the address phase of the  
transaction. SCSI Function A is identified by a binary value of 0b000, and  
SCSI Function B by a value of 0b001. Each SCSI function contains the  
same register set with identical default values, except the Interrupt Pin  
register.  
Table 4.1 shows the PCI configuration registers implemented in the  
SYM53C896.  
Symbios SYM53C896 PCI to Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Multifunction Controller  
4-1  
All PCI-compliant devices, such as the SYM53C896, must support the  
Vendor ID, Device ID, Command, and Status registers. Support of other  
PCI-compliant registers is optional. In the SYM53C896, registers that are  
not supported are not writable and return all zeros when read. Only those  
registers and bits that are currently supported by the SYM53C896 are  
described in this chapter.  
Note:  
Reserved bits should not be accessed.

This bit controls the ability of the SYM53C896 to act as  
a master on the PCI bus. A value of zero disables this  
device from generating PCI bus master accesses. A  
value of one allows the SYM53C896 to behave as a bus  
master. The device must be a bus master in order to fetch  
SCRIPTS instructions and transfer data.  
EMS  
Enable Memory Space  
1
This bit controls the ability of the SYM53C896 to respond  
to Memory space accesses. A value of zero disables the  
device response. A value of one allows the SYM53C896  
to respond to Memory Space accesses at the address  
range specified by the Base Address Register One (MEM-  
ORY) and Base Address Register Two (SCRIPTS RAM)  
registers in the PCI configuration space.  
EIS  
Enable I/O Space  
0
This bit controls the SYM53C896 response to I/O space  
accesses. A value of zero disables the device response.  
A value of one allows the SYM53C896 to respond to I/O  
Space accesses at the address range specified by the  
Base Address Register Zero (I/O) register in the PCI  
configuration space.

Reads to this register behave normally. Writes are slightly different in that  
bits can be cleared, but not set. A bit is cleared whenever the register is  
written, and the data in the corresponding bit location is a one. For  
instance, to clear bit 15 and not affect any other bits, write the value  
0x8000 to the register.

This register specifies the system cache line size in units

device to determine whether to use Write and Invalidate  
or Write commands for performing write cycles, and  
whether to use Read, Read Line, or Read Multiple  
commands for performing read cycles as a bus master.  
Devices participating in the caching protocol use this field  
to know when to retry burst accesses at cache line  
boundaries. These devices can ignore the PCI cache  
support lines (SDONE and SB0/) when this register is set  
to 0. If this register is programmed to a number which is  
not a power of 2, the device will not use PCI performance  
commands to perform data transfers.

This 16-bit register is used to uniquely identify the vendor  
manufacturing the add-in board or subsystem where this  
PCI device resides. It provides a mechanism for an  
add-in card vendor to distinguish its cards from another  
vendor’s cards, even if the cards have the same PCI  
controller installed on them (and therefore the same  
Vendor ID and Device ID).  
If the external serial EEPROM interface is enabled  
(MAD[7] LOW), this register is automatically loaded at  
power-up from the external serial EEPROM and will  
contain the value downloaded from the serial EEPROM  
or a value of 0x0000 if the download fails.  
If the external serial EEPROM interface is disabled  
(MAD[7] HIGH), this register returns a value of 0x1000.  
The 16-bit value that should be stored in the external  
serial EEPROM for this register is the vendor’s PCI  
Vendor ID and must be obtained from the PCI Special  
Interest Group (SIG). Please see Section 2.4, “Serial  
EEPROM Interface” for more information on downloading  
a value for this register.

Expansion ROM Base Address  
[31:0]  
This four-byte register handles the base address and size  
information for the expansion ROM. It functions exactly  
4-12  
Registers  
like the Base Address Register Zero (I/O) and Base  
Address Register One (MEMORY) registers, except that  
the encoding of the bits is different. The upper 21 bits  
correspond to the upper 21 bits of the expansion ROM  
base address.  
The expansion ROM Enable bit, bit 0, is the only bit  
defined in this register. This bit is used to control whether  
or not the device accepts accesses to its expansion  
ROM. When the bit is set, address decoding is enabled,  
and a device is used with or without an expansion ROM  
depending on the system configuration. To access the  
external memory interface, also set the Memory Space  
bit in the Command register.  
The host system detects the size of the external memory  
by first writing the Expansion ROM Base Address register  
with all ones and then reading back the register. The  
SCSI functions of the SYM53C896 respond with zeros in  
all don’t care locations. The ones in the remaining bits  
represent the binary version of the external memory size.  
For example, to indicate an external memory size of  
32 Kbytes, this register, when written with ones and read  
back, returns ones in the upper 17 bits.  
The size of the external memory is set through MAD[3:1].  
Please see Section 3.7, “MAD Bus Programming” for the  
possible size encodings available.

4.2 SCSI Registers  
The control registers for the SCSI core are directly accessible from the  
PCI bus using Memory or I/O mapping. Each SCSI function has the  
identical register set. The address map of the SCSI registers is shown in  
Table 4.2.  
Note:  
The only registers that the host CPU can access while the  
SYM53C896 is executing SCRIPTS are the Interrupt Status  
Zero (ISTAT0), Interrupt Status One (ISTAT1), Mailbox Zero  
(MBOX0), and Mailbox One (MBOX1) registers. Attempts to  
access other registers interfere with the operation of the  
chip. However, all operating registers are accessible with  
SCRIPTS. All read data is synchronized and stable when  
presented to the PCI bus.

Full arbitration, selection/reselection  
Simple Arbitration  
1. The SYM53C896 SCSI function waits for a bus free  
condition to occur.  
2. It asserts SBSY/ and its SCSI ID (contained in the  
SCSI Chip ID (SCID) register) onto the SCSI bus. If  
the SSEL/ signal is asserted by another SCSI  
device, the SYM53C896 SCSI function deasserts  
SBSY/, deasserts its ID and sets the Lost Arbitration  
bit (bit 3) in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) register.  
3. After an arbitration delay, the CPU should read the  
SCSI Bus Data Lines (SBDL) register to check if a  
higher priority SCSI ID is present. If no higher  
priority ID bit is set, and the Lost Arbitration bit is not  
set, the SYM53C896 SCSI function wins arbitration.  
4. Once the SYM53C896 SCSI function wins  
arbitration, SSEL/ must be asserted using the SCSI  
Output Control Latch (SOCL) for a bus clear plus a  
bus settle delay (1.2 µs) before a low level selection  
is performed.  
4-22  
Registers  
Full Arbitration, Selection/Reselection  
1. The SYM53C896 SCSI function waits for a bus free  
condition.  
2. It asserts SBSY/ and its SCSI ID (the highest priority  
ID stored in the SCSI Chip ID (SCID) register) onto  
the SCSI bus.  
3. If the SSEL/ signal is asserted by another SCSI  
device or if the SYM53C896 SCSI function detects a  
higher priority ID, the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
deasserts SBSY, deasserts its ID, and waits until the  
next bus free state to try arbitration again.  
4. The SYM53C896 SCSI function repeats arbitration  
until it wins control of the SCSI bus. When it wins,  
the Won Arbitration bit is set in the SCSI Status Zero  
(SSTAT0) register, bit 2.  
5. The SYM53C896 SCSI function performs selection  
by asserting the following onto the SCSI bus: SSEL/,  
the target’s ID (stored in the SCSI Destination ID  
(SDID) register), and the SYM53C896’s ID (stored in  
the SCSI Chip ID (SCID) register).  
6. After a selection is complete, the Function Complete  
bit is set in the SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0)  
register, bit 6.  
7. If a selection time-out occurs, the Selection  
Time-Out bit is set in the SCSI Interrupt Status One  
(SIST1) register, bit 2.  
START  
Start Sequence  
5
When this bit is set, the SYM53C896 starts the arbitration  
sequence indicated by the Arbitration Mode bits. The  
Start Sequence bit is accessed directly in low level mode.  
During SCSI SCRIPTS operations, this bit is controlled by  
the SCRIPTS processor. Do not start an arbitration  
sequence if the connected (CON) bit in the SCSI Control  
One (SCNTL1) register, bit 4, indicates that the  
SYM53C896 is already connected to the SCSI bus. This  
bit is automatically cleared when the arbitration sequence  
is complete. If a sequence is aborted, check bit 4 in the  
SCNTL1 register to verify that the SYM53C896 is not  
connected to the SCSI bus.  
SCSI Registers  
4-23  
WATN  
Select with SATN/ on a Start Sequence  
4
When this bit is set and the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
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 SYM53C896 SCSI function 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  
Enable Parity Checking  
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 SYM53C896 SCSI function 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 SYM53C896 SCSI function  
automatically asserts the SATN/ signal upon detection of  
a parity error. SATN/ is only asserted in the initiator  
mode. The SATN/ signal is asserted before deasserting  
SACK/ during the byte transfer with the parity error. Also  
set the Enable Parity Checking bit for the SYM53C896  
SCSI function 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  
SYM53C896 SCSI function. The user must manually set  
4-24  
Registers  
the target or initiator mode. This is done using the  
SCRIPTS language (SET TARGET or CLEAR TARGET).  
When this bit is set, the chip is a target device by default.  
When this bit is cleared, the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
is an initiator device by default.  
Caution:  
Writing this bit while not connected may cause the loss of  
a selection or reselection due to the changing of target or  
initiator modes.

Extra Clock Cycle of Data Setup  
7
When this bit is set, an extra clock period of data setup  
is added to each SCSI data transfer. The extra data setup  
time can provide additional system design margin, though  
it affects the SCSI transfer rates. Clearing this bit disables  
the extra clock cycle of data setup time. Setting this bit  
only affects SCSI send operations.  
ADB  
Assert SCSI Data Bus  
6
When this bit is set, the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
drives the contents of the SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL)  
register onto the SCSI data bus. When the SYM53C896  
SCSI function is an initiator, the SCSI I/O signal must be  
inactive to assert the SODL contents onto the SCSI bus.  
When the SYM53C896 SCSI function is a target, the  
SCSI I/O signal must be active to assert the SODL con-  
tents onto the SCSI bus. The contents of the SODL reg-  
ister can be asserted at any time, even before the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function is connected to the SCSI bus.  
Clear this bit when executing SCSI SCRIPTS. It is nor-  
mally used only for diagnostic testing or operation in low  
level mode.  
SCSI Registers  
4-25  
DHP  
Disable Halt on Parity Error or ATN (Target Only)  
The DHP bit is only defined for the target mode. When  
this bit is cleared, the SYM53C896 SCSI function halts  
5
the SCSI data transfer when a parity error is detected or  
when the SATN/ signal is asserted. If SATN/ or a parity  
error is received in the middle of a data transfer, the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function may transfer up to three  
additional bytes before halting to synchronize between  
internal core cells. During synchronous operation, the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function transfers data until there are  
no outstanding synchronous offsets. If the SYM53C896  
SCSI function is receiving data, any data residing in the  
DMA FIFO is sent to memory before halting.  
When this bit is set, the SYM53C896 SCSI function does  
not halt the SCSI transfer when SATN/ or a parity error is  
received.  
CON  
Connected  
4
This bit is automatically set any time the SYM53C896  
SCSI function is connected to the SCSI bus as an initiator  
or as a target. It is set after the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function successfully completes arbitration or when it has  
responded to a bus initiated selection or reselection. This  
bit is also set after the chip wins simple arbitration when  
operating in low level mode. When this bit is cleared, the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function is not connected to the SCSI  
bus.  
The CPU can force a connected or disconnected  
condition by setting or clearing this bit. This feature is  
used primarily during loopback mode.  
RST  
Assert SCSI RST/ Signal  
3
Setting this bit asserts the SRST/ signal. The SRST/  
output remains asserted until this bit is cleared. The  
25 µs minimum assertion time defined in the SCSI  
specification must be timed out by the controlling  
microprocessor or a SCRIPTS loop.  
AESP  
Assert Even SCSI Parity (force bad parity)  
2
When this bit is set, the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
asserts even parity. It forces a SCSI parity error on each  
byte sent to the SCSI bus from the chip. If parity checking  
is enabled, then the SYM53C896 SCSI function checks  
4-26  
Registers  
data received for odd parity. This bit is used for diagnostic  
testing and is cleared for normal operation. It is useful to  
generate parity errors to test error handling functions.  
IARB  
Immediate Arbitration  
1
Setting this bit causes the SCSI core to immediately  
begin arbitration once a Bus Free phase is detected  
following an expected SCSI disconnect. This bit is useful  
for multithreaded applications. The ARB[1:0] bits in SCSI  
Control Zero (SCNTL0) are set for full arbitration and  
selection before setting this bit.  
Arbitration is retried until won. At that point, the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function holds SBSY and SSEL  
asserted, and waits for a select or reselect sequence.  
The Immediate Arbitration bit is cleared automatically  
when the selection or reselection sequence is completed,  
or times out.  
An unexpected disconnect condition clears IARB with it  
attempting arbitration. See the SCSI Disconnect  
Unexpected bit (SCSI Control Two (SCNTL2), bit 7) for  
more information on expected versus unexpected  
disconnects.  
It is possible to abort an immediate arbitration sequence.  
First, set the Abort bit in the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0)  
register. Then one of two things eventually happens:  
The Won Arbitration bit (SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) bit  
2) will be set. In this case, the Immediate Arbitration  
bit needs to be cleared. This completes the abort  
sequence and disconnects the chip from the SCSI  
bus. If it is not acceptable to go to Bus Free phase  
immediately following the arbitration phase, it is pos-  
sible to perform a low level selection instead.  
The abort completes because the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function loses arbitration. This is detected by the  
clearing of the Immediate Arbitration bit. Do not use  
the Lost Arbitration bit (SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0)  
bit 3) to detect this condition. In this case take no  
further action.  
SST  
Start SCSI Transfer  
0
This bit is automatically set during SCRIPTS execution  
and should not be used. It causes the SCSI core to begin  
a SCSI transfer, including SREQ/ and SACK/  
handshaking. The determination of whether the transfer  
SCSI Registers  
4-27  
is a send or receive is made according to the value  
written to the I/O bit in SCSI Output Control Latch (SOCL).  
This bit is self-clearing. Do not set it for low level  
operation.  
Caution:  
Writing to this register while not connected may cause the  
loss of a selection/reselection by clearing the Connected  
bit.

the Bus Free phase. If it does, an unexpected disconnect  
error is generated (see the Unexpected Disconnect bit in  
the SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) register, bit 2). Dur-  
ing normal SCRIPTS mode operation, this bit is set auto-  
matically whenever the SCSI core is reselected, or  
successfully selects another SCSI device. The SDU bit  
should be cleared with a register write (Move 0x00 To  
SCSI Control Two (SCNTL2)) before the SCSI core  
expects a disconnect to occur, normally prior to sending  
an Abort, Abort Tag, Bus Device Reset, Clear Queue or  
Release Recovery message, or before deasserting  
SACK/ after receiving a Disconnect command or  
Command Complete message.  
CHM  
Chained Mode  
6
This bit determines whether or not the SCSI core is  
programmed for chained SCSI mode. This bit is  
automatically set by the Chained Block Move (CHMOV)  
SCRIPTS instruction and is automatically cleared by the  
Block Move SCRIPTS instruction (MOVE).  
Chained mode is primarily used to transfer consecutive  
wide data blocks. Using chained mode facilitates partial  
receive transfers and allows correct partial send behavior.  
4-28  
Registers  
When this bit is set and a data transfer ends on an odd  
byte boundary, the SYM53C896 SCSI function stores the  
last byte in the SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register  
during a receive operation, or in the SCSI Output Data  
Latch (SODL) register during a send operation. This byte  
is combined with the first byte from the subsequent  
transfer so that a wide transfer is completed.  
SLPMD  
SLPAR Mode  
5
If this bit is cleared, the SCSI Longitudinal Parity (SLPAR)  
register functions as a byte-wide longitudinal parity  
register. If this bit is set, the SLPAR functions as a  
word-wide longitudinal parity function. The high or low  
byte of the SLPAR word is accessible through the SLPAR  
register. Which byte is accessible is controlled by the  
SLPHBEN bit.  
SLPHBEN  
WSS  
SLPAR High Byte Enable  
4
If this bit is cleared, the low byte of the SLPAR word is  
accessible through the SCSI Longitudinal Parity (SLPAR)  
register. If this bit is set, the high byte of the SLPAR word  
is present in the SLPAR register.  
Wide SCSI Send  
3
When read, this bit returns the value of the Wide SCSI  
Send (WSS) flag. Asserting this bit clears the WSS flag.  
This clearing function is self-clearing.  
When the WSS flag is high following a wide SCSI send  
operation, the SCSI core is holding a byte of “chain” data  
in the SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL) register. This data  
becomes the first low-order byte sent when married with  
a high-order byte during a subsequent data send transfer.  
Performing a SCSI receive operation clears this bit. Also,  
performing any nonwide transfer clears this bit.  
VUE0  
Vendor Unique Enhancements, Bit 0  
2
This bit is a read only value indicating whether the group  
code field in the SCSI instruction is standard or vendor  
unique. If cleared, the bit indicates standard group codes;  
if set, the bit indicates vendor unique group codes. The  
value in this bit is reloaded at the beginning of all  
asynchronous target receives.  
SCSI Registers  
4-29  
VUE1  
WSR  
Vendor Unique Enhancement, Bit 1  
1
This bit is used to disable the automatic byte count reload  
during Block Move instructions in the command phase. If  
this bit is cleared, the device reloads the Block Move byte  
count if the first byte received is one of the standard  
group codes. If this bit is set, the device does not reload  
the Block Move byte count, regardless of the group code.  
Wide SCSI Receive  
0
When read, this bit returns the value of the Wide SCSI  
Receive (WSR) flag. Setting this bit clears the WSR flag.  
This clearing function is self-clearing.  
The WSR flag indicates that the SCSI core received data  
from the SCSI bus, detected a possible partial transfer at  
the end of a chained or nonchained block move  
command, and temporarily stored the high-order byte in  
the SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register rather than  
passing the byte out the DMA channel. The hardware  
uses the WSR status flag to determine what behavior  
must occur at the start of the next data receive transfer.  
When the flag is set, the stored data in SWIDE may be  
“residue” data, valid data for a subsequent data transfer,  
or overrun data. The byte is read as normal data by  
starting a data receive transfer.  
Performing a SCSI send operation clears this bit. Also,  
performing any nonwide transfer clears this bit.

The synchronous transfer period the SYM53C896 should  
use when transferring SCSI data is determined in the  
following example:  
The SYM53C896 is connected to a hard disk which can  
transfer data at 10 Mbytes/s synchronously. The  
SYM53C896 SCSI function’s SCLK is running at 40 MHz.  
The synchronous transfer period (SXFERP) is found as  
follows:  
SXFERP = Period/SSCP + ExtCC  
Period = 1 ÷ Frequency = 1 ÷ 10 Mbytes/s = 100 ns  
SSCP = 1 ÷ SSCF = 1 ÷ 40 MHz = 25 ns  
(This SCSI synchronous core clock is determined in  
SCNTL3 bits [6:4], ExtCC = 1 if SCNTL1 bit 7 is asserted  
and the SYM53C896 is sending data. ExtCC = 0 if the  
SYM53C896 is receiving data.)  
SXFERP = 100 ÷ 25 = 4

This register contains the first byte received in any asynchronous

function is operating in the initiator mode, this register contains the first  
byte received in the Message-In, Status, and Data-In phases.  
When a Block Move instruction is executed for a particular phase, the  
first byte received is stored in this register - even if the present phase is  
the same as the last phase. The first byte received value for a particular  
input phase is not valid until after a MOVE instruction is executed.  
This register is also the accumulator for register read-modify-writes with  
the SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR) as the destination. This allows bit  
testing after an operation.  
SCSI Registers  
4-39  
The SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR) is not writable using the CPU, and  
therefore not by a Memory Move. However, it can be loaded using  
SCRIPTS Read/Write operations. To load the SFBR with a byte stored  
in system memory, the byte must first be moved to an intermediate  
SYM53C896 SCSI function register (such as the SCRATCH register),  
and then to the SFBR.  
This register also contains the state of the lower eight bits of the SCSI  
data bus during the Selection phase if the COM bit in the DMA Control  
(DCNTL) register is clear.  
If the COM bit is cleared, do not access this register using SCRIPTS  
operations, as nondeterminate operations may occur. (This includes  
SCRIPTS Read/Write operations and conditional transfer control  
instructions that initialize the SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR) register.)

the host bus to the SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL)  
register, and then to the SCSI Output Data Register  
(SODR, a hidden buffer register which is not accessible)  
before being sent to the SCSI bus. In asynchronous  
mode, data is transferred from the host bus to the SODL  
SCSI Registers

from the SCSI bus to the SCSI Input Data Latch register  
before being sent to the DMA FIFO and then to the host  
bus. The SIDL register contains SCSI data received  
asynchronously. Synchronous data received does not  
flow through this register.

register.  
Diffsens Mismatch  
2
This bit is set when the DIFFSENS pin detects a SE or  
LVD SCSI operating voltage level while the SYM53C896  
is operating in HVD mode (by setting the DIF bit in the  
SCSI Test Two (STEST2) register). If this bit is cleared, the  
DIFFSENS value matches the DIF bit setting.  
LDSC  
Last Disconnect  
1
This bit is used in conjunction with the Connected (CON)  
bit in SCSI Control One (SCNTL1). It allows the user to  
detect the case in which a target device disconnects, and  
then some SCSI device selects or reselects the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function. If the Connected bit is  
asserted and the LDSC bit is asserted, a disconnect is  
indicated. This bit is set when the Connected bit in  
SCNTL1 is off. This bit is cleared when a Block Move  
instruction is executed while the Connected bit in  
SCNTL1 is on.

interrupts are disabled. Read this register after servicing an interrupt to  
check for stacked interrupts.  
ABRT  
Aborted  
7
Setting this bit aborts the current operation under  
execution by the SYM53C896 SCSI function. If this bit is  
set and an interrupt is received, clear this bit before  
reading the DMA Status (DSTAT) register to prevent  
further aborted interrupts from being generated. The  
sequence to abort any operation is:  
1. Set this bit.  
2. Wait for an interrupt.  
3. Read the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) register.  
SCSI Registers

this register.  
6. Read the DMA Status (DSTAT) register to verify the  
aborted interrupt and to see if any other interrupting  
conditions have occurred.  
SRST  
Software Reset  
6
Setting this bit resets the SYM53C896 SCSI function. All  
operating registers are cleared to their respective default  
values and all SCSI signals are deasserted. Setting this  
bit does not assert the SCSI RST/ signal. This reset does  
not clear the ID Mode bit or any of the PCI configuration  
registers. This bit is not self-clearing; it must be cleared  
to clear the reset condition (a hardware reset also clears  
this bit).  
SIGP  
Signal Process  
5
SIGP is a R/W bit that is writable at any time, and polled  
and reset using Chip Test Two (CTEST2). The SIGP bit is  
used in various ways to pass a flag to or from a running  
SCRIPTS instruction.  
The only SCRIPTS instruction directly affected by the  
SIGP bit is Wait For Selection/Reselection. Setting this bit  
causes that instruction to jump to the alternate address  
immediately. The instructions at the alternate jump  
address should check the status of SIGP to determine  
the cause of the jump. The SIGP bit is usable at any time  
and is not restricted to the wait for selection/reselection  
condition.  
SEM  
Semaphore  
4
The SCRIPTS processor may set this bit using a  
SCRIPTS register write instruction. An external processor  
may also set it while the SYM53C896 SCSI function is  
executing a SCRIPTS operation. This bit enables the  
SCSI function to notify an external processor of a  
predefined condition while SCRIPTS are running. The  
4-52  
Registers  
external processor may also notify the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function of a predefined condition and the SCRIPTS  
processor may take action while SCRIPTS are executing.  
CON  
Connected  
3
This bit is automatically set any time the SYM53C896  
SCSI function is connected to the SCSI bus as an initiator  
or as a target. It is set after successfully completing  
selection or when the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
responds to a bus-initiated selection or reselection. It is  
also set after the SCSI function wins arbitration when  
operating in low level mode. When this bit is cleared, the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function is not connected to the SCSI  
bus.  
INTF  
Interrupt-on-the-Fly  
2
This bit is asserted by an INTFLY instruction during  
SCRIPTS execution. SCRIPTS programs do not halt  
when the interrupt occurs. This bit can be used to notify  
a service routine, running on the main processor while  
the SCRIPTS processor is still executing a SCRIPTS  
program. If this bit is set, when the Interrupt Status Zero  
(ISTAT0) register is read it is not automatically cleared. To  
clear this bit, write it to a one. The reset operation is  
self-clearing.  
Note:  
If the INTF bit is set but SIP or DIP is not set, do not  
attempt to read the other chip status registers. An  
interrupt-on-the-fly must be cleared before servicing any  
other interrupts indicated by SIP or DIP.  
This bit must be written to one in order to clear it after it  
has been set.

A phase mismatch (initiator mode) or SATN/ becomes  
active (target mode)  
An arbitration sequence completes  
A selection or reselection time-out occurs  
The SYM53C896 SCSI function is selected

A SCSI gross error occurs  
An unexpected disconnect occurs  
A SCSI reset occurs  
A parity error is detected  
The handshake-to-handshake timer is expired  
The general purpose timer is expired  
To determine exactly which condition(s) caused the  
interrupt, read the SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) and  
SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1) registers.

A PCI parity error is detected  
A bus fault is detected  
An abort condition is detected  
A SCRIPTS instruction is executed in single step

of this bit is nearly identical to bit 1 of DMA Control  
(DCNTL) (Register 0x3B) except that if the INTA/ (or  
INTB/) is already asserted and this bit is set, INT will  
remain asserted until the interrupt is serviced. At this  
point the interrupt line will be blocked for future interrupts  
until this bit is cleared. In addition, this bit may be read

writes will pass through normally.  
When this bit is cleared, the SCRATCH A, MMRS,  
SCRATCH B, MMWS, and SFS registers return to normal  
operation.  
Note:  
Bit 3 is the only writable bit in this register. All other bits are  
read only. When modifying this register, all other bits must  
be written to zero. Do not execute a Read-Modify-Write to  
this register.  
TEOP  
SCSI True End of Process  
2
This bit indicates the status of the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function’s internal TEOP signal. The TEOP signal  
acknowledges the completion of a transfer through the  
SCSI portion of the SYM53C896 SCSI function. When  
this bit is set, TEOP is active. When this bit is cleared,  
TEOP is inactive.  
DREQ

this bit is set, DREQ is active. When this bit is cleared,  
DREQ is inactive.  
Data Acknowledge Status  
This bit indicates the status of the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function’s internal Data Acknowledge signal (DACK/).  
When this bit is set, DACK/ is inactive. When this bit is

These bits identify the chip revision level for software  
purposes. It should have the same value as the lower

are read only.  
FLF  
Flush DMA FIFO  
3
When this bit is set, data residing in the DMA FIFO is  
transferred to memory, starting at the address in the DMA  
Next Address (DNAD) register. The internal DMAWR  
signal, controlled by the Chip Test Five (CTEST5) register,  
determines the direction of the transfer. This bit is not  
self-clearing; clear it once the data is successfully  
transferred by the SYM53C896 SCSI function.  
Note:  
Polling of FIFO flags is allowed during flush operations.  
CLF  
Clear DMA FIFO  
2
When this bit is set, all data pointers for the DMA FIFO  
are cleared. Any data in the FIFO is lost. After the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function successfully clears the  
appropriate FIFO pointers and registers, this bit  
automatically clears.  
Note:  
This bit does not clear the data visible at the bottom of the  
FIFO.  
FM  
Fetch Pin Mode  
1
When set, this bit causes the FETCH/ pin to deassert  
during indirect and table indirect read operations.  
FETCH/ is only active during the opcode portion of an  
instruction fetch. This allows the storage of SCRIPTS in  
a PROM while data tables are stored in RAM.  
If this bit is not set, FETCH/ is asserted for all bus cycles  
during instruction fetches.

order for the chip to generate Write and Invalidate  
commands.  
Registers:0x1C–0x1F  
Temporary (TEMP)  
Read/Write  
This 32-bit register stores the Return instruction address pointer from the  
Call instruction. The address pointer stored in this register is loaded into  
the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register when a Return instruction is  
executed. This address points to the next instruction to execute. Do not  
write to this register while the SYM53C896 SCSI function is executing  
SCRIPTS.  
During any Memory-to-Memory Move operation, the contents of this  
register are preserved. The power-up value of this register is  
indeterminate.

Byte Offset Counter  
[7:0]  
These bits, along with bits [1:0] in the Chip Test Five  
(CTEST5) register, indicate the amount of data  
transferred between the SCSI core and the DMA core. It  
is used to determine the number of bytes in the DMA  
FIFO when an interrupt occurs. These bits are unstable  
while data is being transferred between the two cores.  
Once the chip has stopped transferring data, these bits  
are stable.  
The DMA FIFO (DFIFO) register counts the number of  
bytes transferred between the DMA core and the SCSI  
SCSI Registers  
4-61  
core. The DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register counts the  
number of bytes transferred across the host bus. The  
difference between these two counters represents the  
number of bytes remaining in the DMA FIFO.  
The following steps determine how many bytes are left in  
the DMA FIFO when an error occurs, regardless of the  
transfer direction:  
If the DFS bit (bit 5, Chip Test Five (CTEST5)) is set:  
Step 1. Subtract the ten least significant bits of the DMA  
Byte Counter (DBC) register from the 10-bit value  
of the DFBOC which is made up of the Chip Test  
Five (CTEST5) register (bits [1:0]) and the DMA  
FIFO (DFIFO) register (bits [7:0]).  
Step 2. AND the result with 0x3FF for a byte count  
between zero and 944.  
If the DFS bit (bit 5, Chip Test Five (CTEST5)) is cleared:  
Step 1. Subtract the seven least significant bits of the  
DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register from the seven  
bit value of the DFBOC which is made up of the  
DMA FIFO (DFIFO) register (bits [6:0]).  
Step 2. AND the result with 0x7F for a byte count  
between zero and 112.  
Note:  
If trying to calculate the total number of bytes in both the  
DMA FIFO and SCSI Logic, see Section 2.2.12.1, “Data  
Paths” in Chapter 2, “Functional Description”.

Setting this bit causes the SYM53C896 SCSI function to  
place the SCSI data bus SD[15:0] and the parity lines  
SDP[1:0] in a high impedance state. In order to transfer  
data on the SCSI bus, clear this bit.  
SRTM  
Shadow Register Test Mode  
4
Setting this bit allows access to the shadow registers  
used by Memory-to-Memory Move operations. When this  
bit is set, register accesses to the Temporary (TEMP) and  
Data Structure Address (DSA) registers are directed to the  
shadow copies STEMP (Shadow TEMP) and SDSA  
(Shadow DSA). The registers are shadowed to prevent  
them from being overwritten during a Memory-to-Memory  
Move operation. The Data Structure Address (DSA) and  
Temporary (TEMP) registers contain the base address  
used for table indirect calculations, and the address  
pointer for a call or return instruction, respectively. This bit  
is intended for manufacturing diagnostics only and should  
not be set during normal operations.  
MPEE  
Master Parity Error Enable  
3
Setting this bit enables parity checking during master  
data phases. A parity error during a bus master read is  
detected by the SYM53C896 SCSI function. A parity error  
during a bus master write is detected by the target, and  
the SYM53C896 SCSI function is informed of the error by  
the PERR/ pin being asserted by the target. When this bit  
is cleared, the SYM53C896 SCSI function does not  
interrupt if a master parity error occurs. This bit is cleared  
at power-up.

These bits steer the contents of the Chip Test Six

64-bit DMA FIFO. If the FBL3 bit is set, then FBL2  
through FBL0 determine which of eight byte lanes can be  
read or written. When cleared, the byte lane read or  
written is determined by the current contents of the DMA  
Next Address (DNAD) and DMA Byte Counter (DBC)  
registers. Each of the eight bytes that make up the 64-bit  
DMA FIFO is accessed by writing these bits to the proper  
value. For normal operation, FBL3 must equal zero.

DMA FIFO Size  
5
This bit controls the size of the DMA FIFO. When clear,  
the DMA FIFO appears as only 112 bytes deep. When  
set, the DMA FIFO size increases to 944 bytes. Using an  
112-byte FIFO allows software written for other  
SYM53C8XX family chips to properly calculate the  
number of bytes residing in the chip after a target  
disconnect. The default value of this bit is zero.

is cleared, bit 3 deasserts the corresponding signals. Do  
not change this bit and bit 3 in the same write cycle.  
DMA Direction  
3
Setting this bit either asserts or deasserts the internal  
DMA Write (DMAWR) direction signal depending on the  
current status of the MASR bit in this register. Asserting  
the DMAWR signal indicates that data is transferred from  
the SCSI bus to the host bus. Deasserting the DMAWR  
signal transfers data from the host bus to the SCSI bus.  
BL2  
Burst Length Bit 2

This bit works with bits 6 and 7 (BL[1:0]) in the DMA

Writing to this register writes data to the appropriate byte  
lane of the DMA FIFO as determined by the FBL bits in  
the Chip Test Four (CTEST4) register. Reading this  
register unloads data from the appropriate byte lane of  
the DMA FIFO as determined by the FBL bits in the  
CTEST4 register. Data written to the FIFO is loaded into  
the top of the FIFO. Data read out of the FIFO is taken  
from the bottom. To prevent DMA data from being  
corrupted, this register should not be accessed before  
starting or restarting SCRIPTS operation. Write to this  
register only when testing the DMA FIFO using the Chip  
Test Four (CTEST4) register. Writing to this register while  
the test mode is not enabled produces unexpected  
results.  
Registers:0x24–0x26  
DMA Byte Counter (DBC)  
Read/Write  
This 24-bit register determines the number of bytes transferred in a Block  
Move instruction. While sending data to the SCSI bus, the counter is  
decremented as data is moved into the DMA FIFO from memory. While  
receiving data from the SCSI bus, the counter is decremented as data is  
written to memory from the SYM53C896 SCSI function. The DBC  
counter is decremented each time data is transferred on the PCI bus. It  
is decremented by an amount equal to the number of bytes that are  
transferred.  
The maximum number of bytes that can be transferred in any one Block  
Move command is 16,777,215 bytes. The maximum value that can be  
loaded into the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register is 0xFFFFFF. If the  
instruction is a Block Move and a value of 0x000000 is loaded into the  
4-66  
Registers  
DBC register, an illegal instruction interrupt occurs if the SYM53C896  
SCSI function is not in the target mode, Command phase.  
The DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register is also used to hold the least  
significant 24 bits of the first dword of a SCRIPTS fetch, and to hold the  
offset value during table indirect I/O SCRIPTS. For a complete  
description see Chapter 5, “SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set”. The  
power-up value of this register is indeterminate.  
Register: 0x27  
DMA Command (DCMD)  
Read/Write  
This 8-bit register determines the instruction for the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function to execute. This register has a different format for each  
instruction. For a complete description see Chapter 5, “SCSI SCRIPTS  
Instruction Set”.  
Registers:0x28–0x2B  
DMA Next Address (DNAD)  
Read/Write  
This 32-bit register contains the general purpose address pointer. At the  
start of some SCRIPTS operations, its value is copied from the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS) register. Its value may not be valid except  
in certain abort conditions. The default value of this register is zero.  
Registers:0x2C–0x2F  
DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP)  
Read/Write  
To execute SCSI SCRIPTS, the address of the first SCRIPTS instruction  
must be written to this register. In normal SCRIPTS operation, once the  
starting address of the SCRIPTS is written to this register, SCRIPTS are  
automatically fetched and executed until an interrupt condition occurs.  
In the single step mode, there is a single step interrupt after each  
instruction is executed. The DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register does  
not need to be written with the next address, but the Start DMA bit  
(bit 2, DMA Control (DCNTL) register) must be set each time the step  
interrupt occurs to fetch and execute the next SCRIPTS command. When  
SCSI Registers

writing this register eight bits at a time, writing the upper eight bits begins  
execution of SCSI SCRIPTS. The default value of this register is zero.  
Registers:0x30–0x33  
DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS)  
Read/Write  
This register contains the second dword of a SCRIPTS instruction. It is  
overwritten each time a SCRIPTS instruction is fetched. When a  
SCRIPTS interrupt instruction is executed, this register holds the  
interrupt vector. The power-up value of this register is indeterminate.  
Registers:0x34–0x37  
Scratch Register A (SCRATCHA)  
Read/Write  
This is a general purpose, user-definable scratch pad register. Apart from  
CPU access, only register read/write and memory moves into the  
SCRATCH register alter its contents. The power-up value of this register  
is indeterminate.  
A special mode of this register is enabled by setting the PCI  
Configuration Info Enable bit in the Chip Test Two (CTEST2) register. If  
this bit is set, the Scratch Register A (SCRATCHA) register returns bits  
[31:10] of the PCI Base Address Register One (MEMORY) in bits [31:10]  
of the SCRATCH A register when read. Bits [9:0] of SCRATCH A will  
always return zero in this mode. Writes to the SCRATCHA register are  
unaffected. Clearing the PCI Configuration Info Enable bit causes the  
SCRATCH A register to return to normal operation.

Burst Length  
[7:6]  
These bits control the maximum number of dwords  
transferred per bus ownership, regardless of whether the  
4-68  
Registers  
transfers are back to back, burst, or a combination of  
both. This value is also independent of the width (64 or  
32 bits) of the data transfer on the PCI bus. The  
SYM53C896 SCSI function asserts the Bus Request  
(REQ/) output when the DMA FIFO can accommodate a  
transfer of at least one burst threshold of data. Bus  
Request (REQ/) is also asserted during start-of-transfer  
and end-of-transfer cleanup and alignment, even if less  
than a full burst of transfers is performed. The  
SYM53C896 SCSI function inserts a “fairness delay” of  
four CLKs between burst transfers (as set in BL[2:0])  
during normal operation. The fairness delay is not  
inserted during PCI retry cycles. This gives the CPU and  
other bus master devices the opportunity to access the  
PCI bus between bursts.  
The SYM53C896 will only support burst thresholds of up  
to 16 dwords in the small FIFO mode. Setting the burst  
threshold to higher than 16 dwords in the small FIFO  
mode will yield unexpected results in burst lengths. The  
big FIFO mode can be activated by setting bit 5 of the  
Chip Test Five (CTEST5) register.

This bit is defined as an I/O Memory Enable bit for the

Command. If this bit is set, then the source address is in  
I/O space; and if cleared, then the source address is in  
memory space.  
SCSI Registers

This function is useful for register-to-memory operations  
using the Memory Move instruction when a SYM53C896  
SCSI function is I/O mapped. Bits 4 and 5 of the Chip Test

configuration status of the SYM53C896 SCSI function.  
DIOM

This function is useful for memory-to-register operations  
using the Memory Move instruction when a SYM53C896

If this bit is set and cache mode is enabled, a Read

Burst Opcode Fetch Enable  
1
Setting this bit causes the SYM53C896 SCSI function to  
fetch instructions in burst mode. Specifically, the chip  
bursts in the first two dwords of all instructions using a  
single bus ownership. If the instruction is a Memory-to-  
Memory Move type, the third dword is accessed in a  
subsequent bus ownership. If the instruction is an indirect  
type, the additional dword is accessed in a subsequent  
bus ownership. If the instruction is a table indirect block  
move type, the chip accesses the remaining two dwords  
in a subsequent bus ownership, thereby fetching the four  
dwords required in two bursts of two dwords each. If  
prefetch is enabled, this bit has no effect. This bit also  
has no effect on fetches out of SCRIPTS RAM.

This register contains the interrupt mask bits corresponding to the  
interrupting conditions described in the DMA Status (DSTAT) register. An  
interrupt is masked by clearing the appropriate mask bit. Masking an  
interrupt prevents INTA/ (for Function A) or INTB/ (for Function B) from  
being asserted for the corresponding interrupt, but the status bit is still  
set in the DMA Status (DSTAT) register. Masking an interrupt does not  
prevent setting the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) DIP. All DMA interrupts  
are considered fatal, therefore SCRIPTS stops running when this  
SCSI Registers  
4-71  
condition occurs, whether or not the interrupt is masked. Setting a mask  
bit enables the assertion of INTA/, or INTB/, for the corresponding  
interrupt. (A masked nonfatal interrupt does not prevent unmasked or  
fatal interrupts from getting through; interrupt stacking begins when either  
the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) SIP or DIP bit is set.)  
The INTA/ and INTB/ outputs are latched. Once asserted, they remain  
asserted until the interrupt is cleared by reading the appropriate status  
register. Masking an interrupt after the INTA/, or INTB/, output is asserted  
does not cause deassertion of INTA/, or INTB/.  
For more information on interrupts, see Chapter 2, “Functional

Prefetch Enable  
Setting this bit enables an 8-dword SCRIPTS instruction  
prefetch unit. The prefetch unit, when enabled, will fetch  
8 dwords of instructions and instruction operands in  
bursts of 4 or 8 dwords. Prefetching instructions allows  
the SYM53C896 SCSI function to make more efficient  
use of the system PCI bus, thus improving overall system  
performance. The unit will flush whenever the PFF bit is  
set, as well as on all transfer control instructions when  
the transfer conditions are met, on every write to the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP), on every regular MMOV  
instruction, and when any interrupt is generated. The unit  
automatically determines the maximum burst size that it  
is capable of performing based on the burst length as  
determined by the values in the DMA Mode (DMODE)  
register. If the burst threshold is set to 8 dwords the  
prefetch unit will fetch instructions in two bursts of 4  
dwords. If the burst threshold is set to 16 dwords or  
greater the prefetch unit will fetch instructions in one burst  
of 8 dwords. Burst thresholds of less than 8 dwords will  
cause the prefetch unit to be disabled. PCI Cache  
commands (Read Line and Read Multiple) will be issued  
appropriately if PCI caching is enabled. Prefetching from  
SCRIPTS RAM is not supported and is unnecessary due  
to the speed of the fetches. When fetching from  
SCRIPTS RAM the setting of this bit will have no effect  
on the fetch mechanism from SCRIPTS RAM. The  
prefetch unit does not support 64-bit data instruction  
fetches across the PCI bus. Prefetches of SCRIPTS  
instructions will always be 32 bits in width.  
SSM  
Single Step Mode  
4
Setting this bit causes the SYM53C896 SCSI function to  
stop after executing each SCRIPTS instruction, and  
generate a single step interrupt. When this bit is cleared  
the SYM53C896 SCSI function does not stop after each  
instruction. It continues fetching and executing  
instructions until an interrupt condition occurs. For normal  
SCSI SCRIPTS operation, keep this bit cleared. To  
restart the SYM53C896 SCSI function after it generates  
SCSI Registers  
4-73  
a SCRIPTS Step interrupt, read the Interrupt Status Zero  
(ISTAT0) and DMA Status (DSTAT) registers to recognize  
and clear the interrupt. Then set the START DMA bit in  
this register.  
IRQM

When set, this bit enables a totem pole driver for the  
INTA/, or INTB/ pin. When cleared, this bit enables an  
open drain driver for the INTA/, or INTB/, pin with an  
internal weak pull-up. The bit should remain cleared to  
retain full PCI compliance.  
Start DMA Operation  
2
The SYM53C896 SCSI function fetches a SCSI  
SCRIPTS instruction from the address contained in the  
DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register when this bit is set.  
This bit is required if the SYM53C896 SCSI function is in  
one of the following modes:  
Manual start mode – Bit 0 in the DMA Mode (DMODE)  
register is set  
Single step mode – Bit 4 in the DMA Control (DCNTL)  
register is set  
When the SYM53C896 SCSI function is executing  
SCRIPTS in manual start mode, the Start DMA bit must  
be set to start instruction fetches, but need not be set  
again until an interrupt occurs. When the SYM53C896  
SCSI function is in single step mode, set the Start DMA  
bit to restart execution of SCRIPTS after a single step  
interrupt.  
IRQD  
INTA, INTB Disable  
1
Setting this bit disables the INTA (for SCSI Function A),  
or INTB (for SCSI Function B) pin. Clearing the bit  
enables normal operation. As with any other register  
other than Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0), Interrupt Status  
One (ISTAT1), Mailbox Zero (MBOX0), Mailbox One  
(MBOX1), this register cannot be accessed except by a  
SCRIPTS instruction during SCRIPTS execution. For  
more information on the use of this bit in interrupt  
handling, see Chapter 2, “Functional Description”.  
COM  
SYM53C700 Compatibility  
0
When the COM bit is cleared, the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function behaves in a manner compatible with the  
4-74  
Registers  
SYM53C700; selection/reselection IDs are stored in both  
the SCSI Selector ID (SSID) and SCSI First Byte Received  
(SFBR) registers. This bit is not affected by a software  
reset.  
If the COM bit is cleared, do not access this register  
using SCRIPTS operation as nondeterminate operations  
may occur. (This includes SCRIPTS Read/Write  
operations and conditional transfer control instructions  
that initialize the SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR)  
register.)  
When the COM bit is set, the ID is stored only in the SCSI  
Selector ID (SSID) register, protecting the SCSI First Byte  
Received (SFBR) from being overwritten if a  
selection/reselection occurs during a DMA register-to-  
register operation.

Data overflow - writing to the SCSI FIFO while it is full.  
Offset underflow - receiving a SACK/ pulse in the  
target mode before the corresponding SREQ/ is sent.  
Offset overflow - receiving a SREQ/ pulse in the  
initiator mode, and exceeding the maximum offset  
(defined by the MO[3:0] bits in the SCSI Transfer  
(SXFER) register).  
A phase change in the initiator mode, with an  
outstanding SREQ/SACK offset.

Reading the SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0) register returns the status  
of the various interrupt conditions, whether they are enabled in the SCSI  
Interrupt Enable Zero (SIEN0) register or not. Each bit set indicates  
occurrence of the corresponding condition. Reading the SIST0 clears the  
interrupt status.  
Reading this register clears any bits that are set at the time the register  
is read, but does not necessarily clear the register because additional  
interrupts may be pending (the SYM53C896 SCSI functions stack  
interrupts). SCSI interrupt conditions are individually masked through the  
SCSI Interrupt Enable Zero (SIEN0) register.  
When performing consecutive 8-bit reads of the DMA Status (DSTAT),  
SCSI Interrupt Status Zero (SIST0), and SCSI Interrupt Status One (SIST1)  
registers (in any order), insert a delay equivalent to 12 clock periods  
between the reads to ensure the interrupts clear properly. Also, if reading  
the registers when both the Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) SIP and DIP  
bits may not be set, read the SIST0 and SIST1 registers before the  
DSTAT register to avoid missing a SCSI interrupt. For more information  
on interrupts refer to Chapter 2, “Functional Description”.

SGE  
SCSI Gross Error  
3
This bit is set when the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
encounters a SCSI Gross Error Condition. The following  
conditions can result in a SCSI Gross Error Condition:  
Data Underflow - reading the SCSI FIFO when no  
data is present.  
Data Overflow - writing too many bytes to the SCSI  
FIFO, or the synchronous offset causes overwriting  
the SCSI FIFO.  
Offset Underflow - the SYM53C896 SCSI function is  
operating in the target mode and a SACK/ pulse is  
received when the outstanding offset is zero.  
Offset Overflow - the other SCSI device sends a  
SREQ/ or SACK/ pulse with data which exceeds the  
maximum synchronous offset defined by the SCSI  
Transfer (SXFER) register.  
A phase change occurs with an outstanding  
synchronous offset when the SYM53C896 SCSI  
function is operating as an initiator.  
Residual data in the synchronous data FIFO - a  
transfer other than synchronous data receive is  
started with data left in the synchronous data FIFO.  
UDC

Registers  
only valid when the SYM53C896 SCSI function operates  
in the initiator mode. When the SCSI function operates in  
the low level mode, any disconnect causes an interrupt,  
even a valid SCSI disconnect. This bit is also set if a  
selection time-out occurs (it may occur before, at the  
same time, or stacked after the STO interrupt, since this  
is not considered an expected disconnect).  
RST  
SCSI RST/ Received  
1
This bit is set when the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
detects an active SRST/ signal, whether the reset is  
generated external to the chip or caused by the Assert  
SRST/ bit in the SCSI Control One (SCNTL1) register.  
This SCSI reset detection logic is edge-sensitive, so that  
multiple interrupts are not generated for a single  
assertion of the SRST/ signal.  
PAR  
Parity Error  
0
This bit is set when the SYM53C896 SCSI function  
detects a parity error while receiving SCSI data. The  
Enable Parity Checking bit (bit 3 in the SCSI Control Zero

active. The SYM53C896 SCSI function always generates  
parity when sending SCSI data.

SCSI Longitudinal Parity (SLPAR)  
Read/Write  
This register performs a bytewise longitudinal parity check on all SCSI  
data received or sent through the SCSI core. If one of the bytes received  
or sent (usually the last) is the set of correct even parity bits, SLPAR  
should go to zero (assuming it started at zero). As an example, suppose  
that the following three data bytes and one check byte are received from  
the SCSI bus (all signals are shown active high):  
4-82  
Registers  
Data Bytes  
Running SLPAR  
00000000  
1. 11001100 11001100 (XOR of word 1)  
2. 01010101 10011001 (XOR of word 1 and 2)  
3. 00001111 10010110 (XOR of word 1, 2 and 3)  
4. 10010110 00000000  
A one in any bit position of the final SLPAR value would indicate a  
transmission error.  
The SLPAR register is also used to generate the check bytes for SCSI  
send operations. If the SCSI Longitudinal Parity (SLPAR) register contains  
all zeros prior to sending a block move, it contains the appropriate check  
byte at the end of the block move. This byte must then be sent across  
the SCSI bus.  
Note:  
Writing any value to this register clears it to zero.  
The longitudinal parity checks are meant to provide an added measure  
of SCSI data integrity and are entirely optional. This register does not  
latch SCSI selection/reselection IDs under any circumstances. The  
default value of this register is zero.  
The longitudinal parity function normally operates as a byte function.  
During 16-bit transfers, the high and low bytes are XORed together and  
then XORed into the current longitudinal parity value. By setting the  
SLPMD bit in the SCSI Control Two (SCNTL2) register, the longitudinal  
parity function is made to operate as a word-wide function. During 16-bit  
transfers, the high byte of the SCSI bus is XORed with the high byte of  
the current longitudinal parity value, and the low byte of the SCSI bus is  
XORed with the low byte of the current longitudinal parity value. In this  
mode, the 16-bit longitudinal parity value is accessed a byte at a time  
through the SCSI Longitudinal Parity (SLPAR) register. Which byte is  
accessed is controlled by the SLPHBEN bit in the SCSI Control Two  
(SCNTL2) register.

SCSI Selected As ID  
[7:4]  
These bits contain the encoded value of the SCSI ID that  
the SYM53C896 SCSI function is selected or reselected  
as during a SCSI selection or reselection phase. These  
bits are read only and contain the encoded value of 0–15  
possible IDs that could be used to select the SYM53C896  
SCSI function. During a SCSI selection or reselection  
phase when a valid ID is put on the bus, and the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function responds to that ID, the  
“selected as” ID is written into these bits. These bits are  
used with Response ID Zero (RESPID0) and Response ID  
One (RESPID1) registers to allow response to multiple  
IDs on the bus.

SCSI functioning as an initiator, is waiting for the target  
to request data transfers. If the SYM53C896 SCSI is

Extend SREQ/SACK/ Filtering  
1
LSI Logic TolerANT SCSI receiver technology includes a  
special digital filter on the SREQ/ and SACK/ pins which  
causes the disregarding of glitches on deasserting  
edges. Setting this bit increases the filtering period from  
30 ns to 60 ns on the deasserting edge of the SREQ/ and  
SACK/ signals.

could be treated as a glitch.  
LOW  
SCSI Low level Mode  
0
Setting this bit places the SYM53C896 SCSI function in  
low level mode. In this mode, no DMA operations occur,  
and no SCRIPTS execute. Arbitration and selection may  
be performed by setting the start sequence bit as  
described in the SCSI Control Zero (SCNTL0) register.  
SCSI bus transfers are performed by manually asserting  
and polling SCSI signals. Clearing this bit allows  
instructions to be executed in the SCSI SCRIPTS mode.  
Note:  
It is not necessary to set this bit for access to the SCSI  
bit-level registers (SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL), SCSI  
Bus Control Lines (SBCL), and input registers).

the SCSI Request, Acknowledge, Data, and Parity  
signals to be actively deasserted, instead of relying on  
external pull-ups, when the SYM53C896 SCSI function is  
driving these signals. Active deassertion of these signals  
occurs only when the SYM53C896 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 more information on  
LSI Logic TolerANT technology, see Chapter 1,

Disable Single Initiator Response

If this bit is set, the SYM53C896 SCSI function ignores  
all bus-initiated selection attempts that employ the  
single initiator option from SCSI-1. In order to select the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function while this bit is set, the  
SYM53C896 SCSI function’s SCSI ID and the initiator’s  
SCSI ID must both be asserted. Assert this bit in  
SCSI-2 systems so that a single bit error on the SCSI bus  
is not interpreted as a single initiator response.  
S16  
16-Bit System  
3
If this bit is set, all devices in the SCSI system  
implementation are assumed to be 16-bit. This causes  
the SYM53C896 to always check the parity bit for SCSI  
IDs 15–8 during bus-initiated selection or reselection,  
assuming parity checking has been enabled. If an 8-bit  
SCSI device attempts to select the SYM53C896 while  
this bit is set, the SYM53C896 will ignore the selection  
attempt. This is because the parity bit for IDs 15–8 will  
not be driven. See the description of the Enable Parity  
Checking bit in the SCSI Control Zero (SCNTL0) register  
for more information.

Setting this bit starts all three timers and if the respective  
bits in the SCSI Interrupt Enable One (SIEN1) register are  
asserted, the SYM53C896 SCSI function generates  
interrupts at time-out. This bit is intended for internal  
manufacturing diagnosis and should not be used.

(SODL) register and then read back into the SYM53C896 by reading this  
register to allow loopback testing. When receiving SCSI data, the data  
flows into this register and out to the host FIFO. This register differs from  
the SCSI Bus Data Lines (SBDL) register; SCSI Input Data Latch (SIDL)  
contains latched data and the SCSI Bus Data Lines (SBDL) always

Enable Phase Mismatch Jump

Upon setting this bit, any phase mismatches do not  
interrupt but force a jump to an alternate location to  
handle the phase mismatch. Prior to actually taking the  
jump, the appropriate remaining byte counts and  
addresses will be calculated such that they can be easily  
stored to the appropriate memory location with the  
SCRIPTS Store instruction.  
In the case of a SCSI send, any data in the part will be  
automatically cleared after being accounted for. In the  
case of a SCSI receive, all data will be flushed out of the  
part and accounted for prior to taking the jump. This  
feature does not cover, however, the byte that may  
appear in SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE). This byte must be  
flushed manually.  
This bit also enables the flushing mechanism to flush  
data during a data in phase mismatch in a more efficient

data out (data out, command, message out) transfers and  
jump address two (PMJAD2) on data in (data in, status,  
message in) transfers. Note that the phase referred to  
here is the phase encoded in the block move SCRIPTS

the phase mismatch.

Enable Jump On Nondata Phase Mismatches  
This bit controls whether or not a jump is taken during a

mismatch interrupt will be generated for all other phases.  
When this bit is set, jumps will be taken regardless of the  
phase in the block move. Note that the phase referred to

SCSI Bus Data Lines (SBDL)  
Read Only  
This register contains the SCSI data bus status. Even though the SCSI  
data bus is active low, these bits are active high. The signal status is not  
latched and is a true representation of exactly what is on the data bus at  
the time the register is read. This register is used when receiving data  
using programmed I/O. This register can also be used for diagnostic  
testing or in the low level mode. The power-up value of this register is  
indeterminate.  
If the chip is in the wide mode (SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3), bit 3 and  
SCSI Test Two (STEST2), bit 2 are set) and SCSI Bus Data Lines (SBDL)  
is read, both byte lanes are checked for parity regardless of phase. When  
in a nondata phase, this will cause a parity error interrupt to be generated  
because upper byte lane parity is invalid.

Scratch Register B (SCRATCHB)  
Read/Write  
This is a general purpose user definable scratch pad register. Apart from  
CPU access, only register read/write and memory moves directed at the  
SCRATCH register will alter its contents. The power-up values are  
indeterminate. A special mode of this register can be enabled by setting  
the PCI Configuration Info Enable bit in the Chip Test Two (CTEST2)

[31:13] of the SCRIPTS RAM PCI Base Address Register Two (SCRIPTS  
RAM) in bits [31:13] of the SCRATCH B register when read. When read,  
bits [12:0] of SCRATCH B will always return zeros in this mode. Writes  
to the SCRATCH B register are unaffected. Resetting the PCI  
Configuration Info Enable bit causes the SCRATCH B register to return

4.3 64-Bit SCRIPTS Selectors  
The following registers are used to hold the upper 32-bit addresses for  
various SCRIPTS operations. When a particular type of SCRIPTS  
operation is performed, one of the 6 selector registers below will be used  
to generate a 64-bit address.  
If the selector for a particular device operation is zero, then a standard  
32-bit address cycle will be generated. If the selector value is nonzero,  
then a DAC will be issued with the entire 64-bit address.  
All selectors default to 0 (zero) with the exception of the 16 scratch  
registers, these power-up in an indeterminate state and should be  
initialized before they are used.  
All selectors can be read/written using the Load/Store SCRIPTS  
instruction, Memory-to-Memory Move, Read/Write SCRIPTS instruction  
or CPU with SCRIPTS not running.  
Note:  
Crossing of selector boundaries in one memory operation  
is not supported.

this bit is set, the Memory Move Read Selector (MMRS) register returns  
bits [63:32] of the memory mapped operating register, PCI Base Address

this bit is set, bits [16:23] of the SCRIPTS Fetch Selector (SFS) register  
return the PCI Revision ID (Rev ID) register value and bits [0:15] return  
the PCI Device ID register value when read.

4.4 Phase Mismatch Jump Registers  
Eight 32-bit registers contain the byte count and addressing information  
required to update the direct, indirect, or table indirect BMOV instructions  
with new byte counts and addresses. The eight register descriptions  
follow.  
All registers can be read/written using the Load/Store SCRIPTS  
instructions, Memory-to-Memory Moves, read/write SCRIPTS  
instructions, or the CPU with SCRIPTS not running.  
Registers:0xC0–0xC3  
Phase Mismatch Jump Address 1 (PMJAD1)  
Read/Write  
This register contains the 32-bit address that will be jumped to upon a  
phase mismatch. Depending upon the state of the PMJCTL bit this  
address will either be used during an outbound (data out, command,  
message out) phase mismatch (PMJCTL = 0) or when the WSR bit is  
cleared (PMJCTL = 1). It should be loaded with an address of a  
SCRIPTS routine that will handle the updating of memory data structures  
of the BMOV that was executing when the phase mismatch occurred.  
Registers:0xC4–0xC7  
Phase Mismatch Jump Address 2 (PMJAD2)  
Read/Write  
This register contains the 32-bit address that will be jumped to upon a  
phase mismatch. Depending upon the state of the PMJCTL bit this  
address will either be used during an inbound (data in, status, message  
in) phase mismatch (PMJCTL = 0) or when the WSR bit is set  
(PMJCTL = 1). It should be loaded with an address of a SCRIPTS  
routine that will handle the updating of memory data structures of the  
BMOV that was executing when the phase mismatch occurred.  
Phase Mismatch Jump Registers  
4-109  
Registers:0xC8–0xCB  
Remaining Byte Count (RBC)  
Read/Write  
This register contains the byte count that remains for the BMOV that was  
executing when the phase mismatch occurred. In the case of direct or  
indirect BMOV instructions, the upper byte of this register will also  
contain the opcode of the BMOV that was executing. In the case of a  
table indirect BMOV instruction, the upper byte will contain the upper  
byte of the table indirect entry that was fetched.  
In the case of a SCSI data receive, this byte count will reflect all data  
received from the SCSI bus, including any byte in SCSI Wide Residue  
(SWIDE). There will be no data remaining in the part that must be flushed  
to memory with the exception of a possible byte in the SWIDE register.  
That byte must be flushed to memory manually in SCRIPTS.  
In the case of a SCSI data send, this byte count will reflect all data sent  
out onto the SCSI bus. Any data left in the part from the phase mismatch  
will be ignored and automatically cleared from the FIFOs.  
Registers:0xCC–0xCF  
Updated Address (UA)  
Read/Write  
This register will contain the updated data address for the BMOV that  
was executing when the phase mismatch occurred.  
In the case of a SCSI data receive, if there is a byte in the SCSI Wide  
Residue (SWIDE) register then this address will point to the location  
where that byte must be stored. The SWIDE byte must be manually  
written to memory and this address must be incremented prior to  
updating any scatter/gather entry.  
In the case of a SCSI data receive, if there is not a byte in the SWIDE  
register then this address will be the next location that should be written  
to when this I/O restarts. No manual flushing will be necessary.  
In the case of a SCSI data send, all data sent to the SCSI bus will be  
accounted for and any data left in the part will be ignored and will be  
automatically cleared from the FIFOs.

Registers:0xD0–0xD3  
Entry Storage Address (ESA)  
Read/Write  
This register's value depends on the type of BMOV being executed. The  
three types of BMOVs are.  
Direct BMOV:  
In the case of a direct BMOV, this register will contain  
the address the BMOV was fetched from when the  
phase mismatch occurred.  
Indirect BMOV:  
In the case of an indirect BMOV, this register will  
contain the address the BMOV was fetched from when  
the phase mismatch occurred.  
Table Indirect BMOV: In the case of a table indirect BMOV, this register will  
contain the address of the table indirect entry being  
used when the phase mismatch occurred.  
Registers:0xD4–0xD7  
Instruction Address (IA)  
Read/Write  
This register always contains the address of the BMOV instruction that  
was executing when the phase mismatch occurred. This value will always  
match the value in the Entry Storage Address (ESA) except in the case  
of a table indirect BMOV in which case the ESA will have the address of  
the table indirect entry and this register will point to the address of the  
BMOV instruction.  
Registers:0xD8–0xDA  
SCSI Byte Count (SBC)  
Read Only  
This register contains the count of the number of bytes transferred to or  
from the SCSI bus during any given BMOV. This value is used in  
calculating the information placed into the Remaining Byte Count (RBC)  
and Updated Address (UA) registers and should not need to be used in  
normal operations. There are two conditions in which this byte count will  
not match the number of bytes transferred exactly. If a BMOV is executed  
to transfer an odd number of bytes across a wide bus then the byte count  
at the end of the BMOV will be greater than the number of bytes sent by  
one. This will also happen in an odd byte count wide receive case. Also,  
in the case of a wide send in which there is a chain byte from a previous  
Phase Mismatch Jump Registers  
4-111  
transfer, the count will not reflect the chain byte sent across the bus  
during that BMOV. The reason for this is due to the fact that to determine  
the correct address to start fetching data from after a phase mismatch  
this byte cannot be counted for this BMOV as it was actually part of the  
byte count for the previous BMOV.  
Register: 0xDB  
Reserved  
Registers:0xDC–0xDF  
Cumulative SCSI Byte Count (CSBC)  
Read/Write  
This loadable register contains a cumulative count of the actual number  
of bytes that have been transferred across the SCSI bus during data  
phases, i.e. it will not count bytes sent in command, status, message in  
or message out phases. It will count bytes as long as the phase  
mismatch enable (ENPMJ) in the Chip Control 0 (CCNTL0) register is set.  
Unlike the SCSI Byte Count (SBC) this count will not be cleared on each  
BMOV instruction but will continue to count across multiple BMOV  
instructions. This register can be loaded with any arbitrary start value.

SCSI SCRIPTS  
Instruction Set  
After power-up and initialization, the SYM53C896 can operate in the low  
level register interface mode, or use SCSI SCRIPTS.  
With the low level register interface, the user has access to the DMA  
control logic and the SCSI bus control logic. An external processor has  
access to the SCSI bus signals and the low level DMA signals, which  
allow creation of complicated board level test algorithms. The low level  
interface is useful for backward compatibility with SCSI devices that  
require certain unique timings or bus sequences to operate properly.  
Another feature allowed at the low level is loopback testing. In loopback  
mode, the SCSI core can be directed to talk to the DMA core to test  
internal data paths all the way out to the chip’s pins.  
The following sections describe the benefits and use of SCSI SCRIPTS.  
Section 5.1, “SCSI SCRIPTS”  
Section 5.2, “Block Move Instructions”  
Section 5.3, “I/O Instructions”  
Section 5.4, “Read/Write Instructions”  
Section 5.5, “Transfer Control Instructions”  
Section 5.6, “Memory Move Instructions”  
Section 5.7, “Load/Store Instructions”  
5.1 SCSI SCRIPTS  
To operate in the SCSI SCRIPTS mode, the SYM53C896 requires only  
a SCRIPTS start address. The start address must be at a dword (four  
byte) boundary. This aligns all the following SCRIPTS at a dword  
boundary since all SCRIPTS are 8 or 12 bytes long. Instructions are  
Symbios SYM53C896 PCI to Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Multifunction Controller  
5-1  
fetched until an interrupt instruction is encountered, or until an  
unexpected event (such as a hardware error) causes an interrupt to the  
external processor.  
Once an interrupt is generated, the SYM53C896 halts all operations until  
the interrupt is serviced. Then, the start address of the next SCRIPTS  
instruction is written to the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register to  
restart the automatic fetching and execution of instructions.  
In the SCSI SCRIPTS mode the SYM53C896 is allowed to make  
decisions based on the status of the SCSI bus, which frees the  
microprocessor from servicing the numerous interrupts inherent in I/O  
operations.  
Given the rich set of SCSI oriented features included in the instruction  
set, and the ability to re-enter the SCSI algorithm at any point, this high  
level interface is all that is required for both normal and exception  
conditions. Switching to the low level mode for error recovery is not  
required.  
The following types of SCRIPTS instructions are implemented in the  
SYM53C896:  
Block Move—used to move data between the SCSI bus and memory.  
I/O or Read/Write—causes the SYM53C896 to trigger common SCSI  
hardware sequences, or to move registers.  
Transfer Control—allows SCRIPTS instructions to make decisions  
based on real time SCSI bus conditions.  
Memory Move—causes the SYM53C896 to execute block moves  
between different parts of main memory.  
Load/Store—provides a more efficient way to move data to/from  
memory from/to an internal register in the chip without using the  
Memory Move instruction.  
Each instruction consists of two or three 32-bit words. The first 32-bit  
word is always loaded into the DMA Command (DCMD) and DMA Byte  
Counter (DBC) registers, the second into the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save  
(DSPS) register. The third word, used only by Memory Move instructions,  
is loaded into the Temporary (TEMP) shadow register. In an indirect I/O  
or Move instruction, the first two 32-bit opcode fetches are followed by  
one or two more 32-bit fetch cycles.  
5-2  
SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set  
5.1.1 Sample Operation  
The following example describes execution of a SCRIPTS Block Move  
instruction.  
The host CPU, through programmed I/O, gives the DMA SCRIPTS  
Pointer (DSP) register (in the Operating register file) the starting  
address in main memory that points to a SCSI SCRIPTS program  
for execution.  
Loading the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register causes the  
SYM53C896 to fetch its first instruction at the address just loaded.  
This fetch is from main memory or the internal RAM, depending on  
the address.  
The SYM53C896 typically fetches two dwords (64 bits) and decodes  
the high-order byte of the first dword as a SCRIPTS instruction. If the  
instruction is a Block Move, the lower three bytes of the first dword  
are stored and interpreted as the number of bytes to move. The  
second dword is stored and interpreted as the 32-bit beginning  
address in main memory to which the move is directed.  
For a SCSI send operation, the SYM53C896 waits until there is  
enough space in the DMA FIFO to transfer a programmable size  
block of data. For a SCSI receive operation, it waits until enough data  
is collected in the DMA FIFO for transfer to memory. At this point,  
the SYM53C896 requests use of the PCI bus again to transfer the  
data.  
When the SYM53C896 is granted the PCI bus, it executes (as a bus  
master) a burst transfer (programmable size) of data, decrements the  
internally stored remaining byte count, increments the address  
pointer, and then releases the PCI bus. The SYM53C896 stays off  
the PCI bus until the FIFO can again hold (for a write) or has  
collected (for a read) enough data to repeat the process.  
The process repeats until the internally stored byte count has reached  
zero. The SYM53C896 releases the PCI bus and then performs another  
SCRIPTS instruction fetch cycle, using the incremented stored address  
maintained in the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register. Execution of  
SCRIPTS instructions continues until an error condition occurs or an  
interrupt SCRIPTS instruction is received. At this point, the SYM53C896  
interrupts the host CPU and waits for further servicing by the host  
system. It can execute independent Block Move instructions specifying  
SCSI SCRIPTS  
5-3  
new byte counts and starting locations in main memory. In this manner,  
the SYM53C896 performs scatter/gather operations on data without  
requiring help from the host program, generating a host interrupt, or  
programming of an external DMA controller.

5.2 Block Move Instructions  
For Block Move instructions, bits 5 and 4 (SIOM and DIOM) in the DMA  
Mode (DMODE) register determine whether the source/destination  
address resides in memory or I/O space. When data is moved onto the  
SCSI bus, SIOM controls whether that data comes from I/O or memory  
space. When data is moved off of the SCSI bus, DIOM controls whether  
that data goes to I/O or memory space.

Indirect Addressing  
Direct  
When this bit is cleared, user data is moved to or from  
the 32-bit data start address for the Block Move  
instruction. The value is loaded into the chip’s address  
register and incremented as data is transferred. The  
address of the data to move is in the second dword of  
this instruction.  
When the EN64DBMV bit in Chip Control 1 (CCNTL1) is  
set, a third dword is fetched to provide the upper dword  
of a 64-bit address. The upper dword address will be  
fetched along with the instruction and loaded into the  
Dynamic Block Move Selector (DBMS) register.  
If the EN64DBMV bit is cleared, then the upper dword  
address is pulled from the Static Block Move Selector  
(SBMS) register.  
The byte count and absolute address are as follows:  
Command  
Byte Count  
Lower dword Address of Data  
Upper dword address of data (EN64DBMV = 1)

When set, the 32-bit user data start address for the Block  
Move is the address of a pointer to the actual data buffer  
address. The value at the 32-bit start address is loaded  
into the chip’s DMA Next Address (DNAD) register using  
a third dword fetch (4-byte transfer across the host  
computer bus).  
Block Move Instructions  
5-5  
Use the fetched byte count, but fetch the data address  
from the address in the instruction.  
If 64-bit addressing is desired, the upper dword of the  
address is stored in the Static Block Move Selector  
(SBMS) register. When the value in SBMS is 0x0, 32-bit  
addressing is assumed.  
.

Address of Pointer to Data  
Once the data pointer address is loaded, it is executed  
as when the chip operates in the direct mode. This  
indirect feature allows specification of a table of data  
buffer addresses. Using the SCSI SCRIPTS compiler, the  
table offset is placed in the SCRIPTS at compile time.  
Then at the actual data transfer time, the offsets are  
added to the base address of the data address table by  
the external processor. The logical I/O driver builds a  
structure of addresses for an I/O rather than treating each  
address individually.  
Note:  
Using indirect and table indirect addressing simultaneously  
is not permitted; use only one addressing method at a time.

32-Bit Addressing  
When this bit is set, the 24-bit signed value in the start  
address of the move is treated as a relative displacement  
from the value in the Data Structure Address (DSA)  
register. Both the transfer count and the source/  
destination address are fetched from this location.  
Use the signed integer offset in bits [23:0] of the second  
four bytes of the instruction, added to the value in the  
Data Structure Address (DSA) register, to fetch first the  
byte count and then the data address. The signed value  
is combined with the data structure base address to  
generate the physical address used to fetch values from  
the data structure. Sign-extended values of all ones for  
negative values are allowed, but bits [31:24] are ignored.

SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set  
Note:  
Using indirect and table indirect addressing simultaneously  
is not permitted; use only one addressing method at a time.  
Prior to the start of an I/O, load the Data Structure  
Address (DSA) register with the base address of the I/O  
data structure. Any address on a dword boundary is  
allowed.  
After a Table Indirect opcode is fetched, the Data  
Structure Address (DSA) is added to the 24-bit signed  
offset value from the opcode to generate the address of  
the required data; both positive and negative offsets are  
allowed. A subsequent fetch from that address brings the  
data values into the chip.  
For a MOVE instruction, the 24-bit byte count is fetched  
from system memory. Then the 32-bit physical address is  
brought into the SYM53C896. Execution of the move  
begins at this point.  
SCRIPTS can directly execute operating system I/O data  
structures, saving time at the beginning of an I/O  
operation. The I/O data structure can begin on any dword  
boundary and may cross system segment boundaries.  
There are two restrictions on the placement of pointer  
data in system memory:  
The eight bytes of data in the MOVE instruction must  
be contiguous, as shown below, and  
Indirect data fetches are not available during  
execution of a Memory-to-Memory DMA operation

64-Bit Addressing  
If the enable 64-bit Table Indirect Block Move  
(EN64TIBMV) bit is clear, then table indirect block moves  
will remain as 2 dword opcodes plus a 2 dword table  
entry and the upper 32 bits of the address will be pulled  
from the Static Block Move Selector (SBMS) (which is  
loaded manually) when doing data transfers during block  
move operations.  
Block Move Instructions  
5-7  
If the enable 64-bit Table Indirect Block Move  
(EN64TIBMV) bit is set and the 64-bit Table Indirect Index  
Mode (64TIMOD) bit is cleared, then bits [28:24] of the  
first dword of the table entry (where the byte count is  
located) will select one of the 16 scratch registers or any  
of the six 64-bit selector registers (for a total of 22  
selector choices) as a selector for the upper 32-bit  
address. Please see the Table Indirect Index mode  
mapping table for a breakdown of index values and the  
corresponding registers selected. The selected address  
will get loaded into the DMA Next Address 64 (DNAD64)  
automatically.  
Note:  
If EN64TIBMV is set and 64TIMOD is set then bits [31:24]  
of the first dword of the table entry (where the byte count  
is located) will be loaded directly into DMA Next Address 64

MOVE/MOVE64

The SYM53C896 verifies that it is connected to the SCSI  
bus as a target before executing this instruction.  
The SYM53C896 asserts the SCSI phase signals  
(SMSG/, SC_D/, and SI_O/) as defined by the Phase  
Field bits in the instruction.  
If the instruction is for the command phase, the  
SYM53C896 receives the first command byte and  
decodes its SCSI Group Code.  
If the SCSI Group Code is either Group 0,  
Group 1, Group 2, or Group 5, then the SYM53C896  
overwrites the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register with  
the length of the Command Descriptor Block: 6, 10, or  
12 bytes.  
If the Vendor Unique Enhancement 0 (VUE0) bit  
(SCSI Control Two (SCNTL2), bit 1) is cleared and the  
SCSI group code is a vendor unique code, the  
SYM53C896 overwrites the DMA Byte Counter (DBC)  
register with the length of the Command Descriptor  
Block: 6, 10, or 12 bytes. If the VUE0 bit is set, the  
SYM53C896 receives the number of bytes in the byte  
count regardless of the group code.  
5-10  
SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set  
If any other Group Code is received, the DMA Byte  
Counter (DBC) register is not modified and the  
SYM53C896 requests the number of bytes specified  
in the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register. If the DBC  
register contains 0x000000, an illegal instruction  
interrupt is generated.  
The SYM53C896 transfers the number of bytes specified  
in the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register starting at the  
address specified in the DMA Next Address (DNAD)  
register. If the Opcode bit is set and a data transfer ends  
on an odd byte boundary, the SYM53C896 stores the last  
byte in the SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register during a  
receive operation. This byte is combined with the first  
byte from the subsequent transfer so that a wide transfer  
can complete.  
If the SATN/ signal is asserted by the initiator or a parity  
error occurred during the transfer, it is possible to halt the  
transfer and generate an interrupt. The Disable Halt on  
Parity Error or ATN bit in the SCSI Control One (SCNTL1)  
register controls whether the SYM53C896 halts on these  
conditions immediately, or waits until completion of the  
current Move.

CHMOV/CHMOV64  
MOVE/MOVE64  
The SYM53C896 verifies that it is connected to the SCSI  
bus as an initiator before executing this instruction.  
The SYM53C896 waits for an unserviced phase to occur.  
An unserviced phase is defined as any phase (with  
SREQ/ asserted) for which the SYM53C896 has not yet  
transferred data by responding with a SACK/.  
The SYM53C896 compares the SCSI phase bits in the  
DMA Command (DCMD) register with the latched SCSI  
phase lines stored in the SCSI Status One (SSTAT1)  
register. These phase lines are latched when SREQ/ is  
asserted.  
Block Move Instructions  
5-11  
If the SCSI phase bits match the value stored in the SCSI  
Status One (SSTAT1) register, the SYM53C896 transfers  
the number of bytes specified in the DMA Byte Counter  
(DBC) register starting at the address pointed to by the  
DMA Next Address (DNAD) register. If the opcode bit is  
cleared and a data transfer ends on an odd byte  
boundary, the SYM53C896 stores the last byte in the  
SCSI Wide Residue (SWIDE) register during a receive  
operation, or in the SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL)  
register during a send operation. This byte is combined  
with the first byte from the subsequent transfer so that a  
wide transfer can complete.  
If the SCSI phase bits do not match the value stored in  
the SCSI Status One (SSTAT1) register, the SYM53C896  
generates a phase mismatch interrupt and the instruction  
is not executed.  
During a Message-Out phase, after the SYM53C896 has  
performed a select with Attention (or SATN/ is manually  
asserted with a Set ATN instruction), the SYM53C896  
deasserts SATN/ during the final SREQ/SACK/  
handshake.  
When the SYM53C896 is performing a block move for  
Message-In phase, it does not deassert the SACK/ signal  
for the last SREQ/SACK/ handshake. Clear the SACK/  
signal using the Clear SACK I/O instruction.  
SCSIP[2:0]  
SCSI Phase  
[26:24]  
This 3-bit field defines the desired SCSI information  
transfer phase. When the SYM53C896 operates in the  
initiator mode, these bits are compared with the latched  
SCSI phase bits in the SCSI Status One (SSTAT1)  
register. When the SYM53C896 operates in the target  
mode, it asserts the phase defined in this field. The  
following table describes the possible combinations and  
the corresponding SCSI phase.

Transfer Counter  
[23:0]  
This 24-bit field specifies the number of data bytes to be  
moved between the SYM53C896 and system memory.  
The field is stored in the DMA Byte Counter (DBC)  
register. When the SYM53C896 transfers data to/from  
memory, the DBC register is decremented by the number  
of bytes transferred. In addition, the DMA Next Address  
(DNAD) register is incremented by the number of bytes  
transferred. This process is repeated until the DBC  
register is decremented to zero. At this time, the  
SYM53C896 fetches the next instruction.  
If bit 28 is set, indicating table indirect addressing, this  
field is not used. The byte count is instead fetched from  
a table pointed to by the Data Structure Address (DSA)  
register.

incremented by the number of bytes transferred.  
When bit 29 is set, indicating indirect addressing, this  
address is a pointer to an address in memory that points  
to the data location. When bit 28 is set, indicating table  
indirect addressing, the value in this field is an offset into  
a table pointed to by the Data Structure Address (DSA).

it loses arbitration, it tries again during the next available  
arbitration cycle without reporting any lost arbitration  
status.  
If the SYM53C896 wins arbitration, it attempts to reselect  
the SCSI device whose ID is defined in the destination ID  
field of the instruction. Once the SYM53C896 wins

arbitration, it fetches the next instruction from the address  
pointed to by the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register.  
This way the SCRIPTS can move on to the next  
instruction before the reselection completes. It continues  
executing SCRIPTS until a SCRIPTS that requires a  
response from the initiator is encountered.  
If the SYM53C896 is selected or reselected before  
winning arbitration, it fetches the next instruction from the  
address pointed to by the 32-bit jump address field stored  
in the DMA Next Address (DNAD) register. Manually set  
the SYM53C896 to the initiator mode if it is reselected, or  
to the target mode if it is selected.  
Disconnect Instruction  
The SYM53C896 disconnects from the SCSI bus by  
deasserting all SCSI signal outputs.  
Wait Select Instruction  
If the SYM53C896 is selected, it fetches the next  
instruction from the address pointed to by the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register.  
If reselected, the SYM53C896 fetches the next instruction  
from the address pointed to by the 32-bit jump address  
field stored in the DMA Next Address (DNAD) register.  
Manually set the SYM53C896 to the initiator mode when  
it is reselected.  
If the CPU sets the SIGP bit in the Interrupt Status Zero  
(ISTAT0) register, the SYM53C896 aborts the Wait Select  
instruction and fetches the next instruction from the  
address pointed to by the 32-bit jump address field stored  
in the DMA Next Address (DNAD) register.  
Set Instruction  
When the SACK/ or SATN/ bits are set, the  
corresponding bits in the SCSI Output Control Latch  
(SOCL) register are set. Do not set SACK/ or SATN/  
except for testing purposes. When the target bit is set,  
the corresponding bit in the SCSI Control Zero (SCNTL0)  
register is also set. When the carry bit is set, the  
corresponding bit in the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is  
set.  
Note:  
None of the signals are set on the SCSI bus in target mode.

This way the SCRIPTS can move to the next instruction  
before the selection completes. It continues executing  
SCRIPTS until a SCRIPTS that requires a response from

in the DMA Next Address (DNAD) register. Manually set  
the SYM53C896 to the initiator mode if it is reselected, or  
to the target mode if it is selected.  
If the Select with SATN/ field is set, the SATN/ signal is  
asserted during the selection phase.  
Wait Disconnect Instruction  
The SYM53C896 waits for the target to perform a “legal”  
disconnect from the SCSI bus. A “legal” disconnect  
occurs when SBSY/ and SSEL/ are inactive for a  
minimum of one Bus Free delay (400 ns), after the  
SYM53C896 receives a Disconnect Message or a  
Command Complete Message.  
Wait Reselect Instruction  
If the SYM53C896 is selected before being reselected, it  
fetches the next instruction from the address pointed to  
by the 32-bit jump address field stored in the DMA Next  
Address (DNAD) register. Manually set the SYM53C896  
to the target mode when it is selected.  
If the SYM53C896 is reselected, it fetches the next  
instruction from the address pointed to by the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register.  
If the CPU sets the SIGP bit in the Interrupt Status Zero  
(ISTAT0) register, the SYM53C896 aborts the Wait  
Reselect instruction and fetches the next instruction from  
the address pointed to by the 32-bit jump address field  
stored in the DMA Next Address (DNAD) register.  
Set Instruction  
When the SACK/ or SATN/ bits are set, the  
corresponding bits in the SCSI Output Control Latch  
(SOCL) register are set. When the target bit is set, the  
corresponding bit in the SCSI Control Zero (SCNTL0)  
register is also set. When the carry bit is set, the  
corresponding bit in the ALU is set.  
Clear Instruction  
When the SACK/ or SATN/ bits are cleared, the

RA  
Relative Addressing Mode  
26  
When this bit is set, the 24-bit signed value in the DMA  
Next Address (DNAD) register is used as a relative  
displacement from the current DMA SCRIPTS Pointer  
(DSP) address. Use this bit only in conjunction with the  
Select, Reselect, Wait Select, and Wait Reselect  
instructions. The Select and Reselect instructions can  
contain an absolute alternate jump address or a relative  
transfer address.  
TI  
Table Indirect Mode  
25  
When this bit is set, the 24-bit signed value in the DMA  
Byte Counter (DBC) register is added to the value in the  
Data Structure Address (DSA) register, and used as an  
offset relative to the value in the Data Structure Address  
(DSA) register. The SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) value,  
SCSI ID, synchronous offset and synchronous period are  
loaded from this address. Prior to the start of an I/O, load  
the Data Structure Address (DSA) with the base address  
of the I/O data structure. Any address on a dword  
boundary is allowed. After a Table Indirect opcode is  
fetched, the Data Structure Address (DSA) is added to the  
24-bit signed offset value from the opcode to generate  
the address of the required data. Both positive and  
negative offsets are allowed. A subsequent fetch from  
that address brings the data values into the chip.  
SCRIPTS can directly execute operating system I/O data  
structures, saving time at the beginning of an I/O  
operation. The I/O data structure can begin on any dword  
boundary and may cross system segment boundaries.  
There are two restrictions on the placement of data in  
system memory:  
The I/O data structure must lie within the 8 Mbytes  
above or below the base address.  
An I/O command structure must have all four bytes  
contiguous in system memory, as shown below. The  
offset/period bits are ordered as in the SCSI Transfer  
(SXFER) register. The configuration bits are ordered  
as in the SCSI Control Three (SCNTL3) register.

The Set instruction is used to assert SACK/ and/or SATN/  
on the SCSI bus. The Clear instruction is used to  
deassert SACK/ and/or SATN/ on the SCSI bus. The  
corresponding bit in the SCSI Output Control Latch  
(SOCL) register will be set or cleared depending on the  
instruction used.  
Since SACK/ and SATN/ are initiator signals, they are not  
asserted on the SCSI bus unless the SYM53C896 is  
operating as an initiator or the SCSI Loopback Enable bit  
is set in the SCSI Test Two (STEST2) register.  
The Set/Clear SCSI ACK/, ATN/ instruction is used after  
message phase Block Move operations to give the

acknowledging the last message byte. For example, if the  
initiator wishes to reject a message, it issues an Assert

5.4.3 Read-Modify-Write Cycles  
During these cycles the register is read, the selected operation is  
performed, and the result is written back to the source register.  
The Add operation is used to increment or decrement register values (or  
memory values if used in conjunction with a Memory-to-Register Move  
operation) for use as loop counters.  
Subtraction is not available when SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR) is  
used instead of data8 in the instruction syntax. To subtract one value  
from another when using SFBR, first XOR the value to subtract  
(subtrahend) with 0xFF, and add 1 to the resulting value. This creates the  
2s compliment of the subtrahend. The two values are then added to  
obtain the difference.  
5.4.4 Move To/From SFBR Cycles  
All operations are read-modify-writes as shown in Table 5.1. However,  
two registers are involved, one of which is always the SCSI First Byte  
Received (SFBR). The possible functions of this instruction are:  
5-24  
SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set

any chip register.  
Move to/from the SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR) from/to any other

or SHIFT RIGHT operators.  
After moving values to the SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR), the  
compare and jump, call, or similar instructions are used to check the  
value.  
A Move-to-SFBR followed by a Move-from-SFBR is used to perform  
a register to register move.

This 3-bit field specifies the type of transfer control

be conditional. They can be dependent on a true/false  
comparison of the ALU Carry bit or a comparison of the  
SCSI information transfer phase with the Phase field,  
and/or a comparison of the First Byte Received with the  
Data Compare field. Each instruction can operate in the  
initiator or target mode.

Jump Instruction  
The SYM53C896 can do a true/false comparison of the  
ALU carry bit, or compare the phase and/or data as  
defined by the Phase Compare, Data Compare and  
True/False bit fields. If the comparisons are true, then it  
loads the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register with the  
contents of the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS)  
Transfer Control Instructions  
5-27  
register. The DSP register now contains the address of  
the next instruction.  
If the comparisons are false, the SYM53C896 fetches the  
next instruction from the address pointed to by the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register, leaving the instruction  
pointer unchanged.  
When the JUMP64 instruction is used, a third dword is  
fetched and loaded into the SCRIPTS Fetch Selector  
(SFS) register. Bit 22 indicates whether the jump is to a  
32-bit address (0) or a 64-bit address (1). All  
combinations of jumps are still valid for JUMP64.  
Call Instruction  
The SYM53C896 can do a true/false comparison of the  
ALU carry bit, or compare the phase and/or data as  
defined by the Phase Compare, Data Compare, and  
True/False bit fields. If the comparisons are true, it loads  
the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register with the  
contents of the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS)  
register and that address value becomes the address of  
the next instruction.  
When the SYM53C896 executes a Call instruction, the  
instruction pointer contained in the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer  
(DSP) register is stored in the Temporary (TEMP) register.  
Since the TEMP register is not a stack and can only hold  
one dword, nested call instructions are not allowed.  
If the comparisons are false, the SYM53C896 fetches the  
next instruction from the address pointed to by the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register and the instruction  
pointer is not modified.  
Return Instruction  
The SYM53C896 can do a true/false comparison of the  
ALU carry bit, or compare the phase and/or data as  
defined by the Phase Compare, Data Compare, and  
True/False bit fields. If the comparisons are true, it loads  
the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register with the  
contents of the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS)  
register. That address value becomes the address of the  
next instruction.  
5-28  
SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set  
When a Return instruction is executed, the value stored  
in the Temporary (TEMP) register is returned to the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register. The SYM53C896 does  
not check to see whether the Call instruction has already  
been executed. It does not generate an interrupt if a  
Return instruction is executed without previously  
executing a Call instruction.  
If the comparisons are false, the SYM53C896 fetches the  
next instruction from the address pointed to by the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register and the instruction  
pointer is not modified.  
Interrupt Instruction  
The SYM53C896 can do a true/false comparison of the  
ALU carry bit, or compare the phase and/or data as  
defined by the Phase Compare, Data Compare, and  
True/False bit fields. If the comparisons are true, the  
SYM53C896 generates an interrupt by asserting the IRQ/  
signal.  
The 32-bit address field stored in the DMA SCRIPTS  
Pointer Save (DSPS) register can contain a unique  
interrupt service vector. When servicing the interrupt, this  
unique status code allows the Interrupt Service Routine  
to quickly identify the point at which the interrupt  
occurred.  
The SYM53C896 halts and the DMA SCRIPTS Pointer  
(DSP) register must be written to before starting any  
further operation.  
Interrupt-on-the-Fly Instruction  
The SYM53C896 can do a true/false comparison of the  
ALU carry bit or compare the phase and/or data as  
defined by the Phase Compare, Data Compare, and  
True/False bit fields. If the comparisons are true, and the  
Interrupt-on-the-Fly bit Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) bit 2)  
is set, the SYM53C896 asserts the Interrupt-on-the-Fly  
bit.  
SCSIP[2:0]  
SCSI Phase  
[26:24]  
This 3-bit field corresponds to the three SCSI bus phase  
signals that are compared with the phase lines latched  
when SREQ/ is asserted. Comparisons can be performed  
to determine the SCSI phase actually being driven on the  
Transfer Control Instructions  
5-29  
SCSI bus. The following table describes the possible  
combinations and their corresponding SCSI phase.  
These bits are only valid when the SYM53C896 is  
operating in the initiator mode. Clear these bits when the  
SYM53C896 is operating in the target mode.

Relative Addressing Mode  
23  
When this bit is set, the 24-bit signed value in the DMA  
SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS) register is used as a  
relative offset from the current DMA SCRIPTS Pointer  
(DSP) address (which is pointing to the next instruction,  
not the one currently executing). The relative mode does  
not apply to Return and Interrupt SCRIPTS.

Jump/Call a Relative Address

Don’t Care  
Alternate Jump Offset  
The SCRIPTS program counter is a 32-bit value pointing  
to the SCRIPTS currently under execution by the  
SYM53C896. The next address is formed by adding the  
5-30  
SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set  
32-bit program counter to the 24-bit signed value of the  
last 24 bits of the Jump or Call instruction. Because it is  
signed (twos compliment), the jump can be forward or  
backward.  
A relative transfer can be to any address within a  
16 Mbyte segment. The program counter is combined  
with the 24-bit signed offset (using addition or  
subtraction) to form the new execution address.  
SCRIPTS programs may contain a mixture of direct  
jumps and relative jumps to provide maximum versatility  
when writing SCRIPTS. For example, major sections of  
code can be accessed with far calls using the 32-bit  
physical address, then local labels can be called using  
relative transfers. If a SCRIPTS is written using only  
relative transfers it does not require any run time  
alteration of physical addresses, and can be stored in and  
executed from a PROM.

When this bit is cleared, the jump address is 32 bits wide.  
When this bit is set, the jump address is 64 bits wide.  
CT  
Carry Test  
21  
When this bit is set, decisions based on the ALU carry bit  
can be made. True/False comparisons are legal, but Data  
Compare and Phase Compare are illegal.  
IF  
Interrupt-on-the-Fly  
20  
When this bit is set, the interrupt instruction does not halt  
the SCRIPTS processor. Once the interrupt occurs, the  
Interrupt-on-the-Fly bit (Interrupt Status Zero (ISTAT0) bit  
2) is asserted.  
TF  
Jump If True/False  
19  
This bit determines whether the SYM53C896 branches  
when a comparison is true or when a comparison is false.  
This bit applies to phase compares, data compares, and  
carry tests. If both the Phase Compare and Data  
Compare bits are set, then both compares must be true  
to branch on a true condition. Both compares must be  
false to branch on a false condition.

Compare Data  
18  
When this bit is set, the first byte received from the SCSI  
data bus (contained in the SCSI First Byte Received  
(SFBR) register) is compared with the Data to be  
Compared Field in the Transfer Control instruction. The  
Wait for Valid Phase bit controls when this compare  
occurs. The Jump if True/False bit determines the  
condition (true or false) to branch on.  
CP  
Compare Phase  
17  
When the SYM53C896 is in the initiator mode, this bit  
controls phase compare operations. When this bit is set,  
the SCSI phase signals (latched by SREQ/) are  
compared to the Phase Field in the Transfer Control  
instruction. If they match, the comparison is true. The  
Wait for Valid Phase bit controls when the compare  
occurs. When the SYM53C896 is operating in the target  
mode and this bit is set it tests for an active SCSI SATN/  
signal.  
VP  
Wait For Valid Phase  
16  
If the Wait for Valid Phase bit is set, the SYM53C896  
waits for a previously unserviced phase before comparing  
the SCSI phase and data.  
If the Wait for Valid Phase bit is cleared, the SYM53C896  
compares the SCSI phase and data immediately.  
MC  
Data Compare Mask  
[15:8]  
The Data Compare Mask allows a SCRIPTS to test  
certain bits within a data byte. During the data compare,  
if any mask bits are set, the corresponding bit in the SCSI  
First Byte Received (SFBR) data byte is ignored. For  
instance, a mask of 0b01111111 and data compare value  
of 0b1XXXXXXX allows the SCRIPTS processor to  
determine whether or not the high-order bit is set while  
ignoring the remaining bits.

Data Compare Value  
[7:0]  
This 8-bit field is the data compared against the SCSI  
First Byte Received (SFBR) register. These bits are used  
in conjunction with the Data Compare Mask Field to test  
for a particular data value. If the COM bit (DMA Control  
(DCNTL), bit 0) is cleared, the value in the SFBR register  
may not be stable. In this case, do not use instructions  
using this data compare value.

5.6 Memory Move Instructions  
For Memory Move instructions, bits 5 and 4 (SIOM and DIOM) in the  
DMA Mode (DMODE) register determine whether the source or  
destination addresses reside in memory or I/O space. By setting these  
bits appropriately, data may be moved within memory space, within I/O  
space, or between the two address spaces.  
The Memory Move instruction is used to copy the specified number of  
bytes from the source address to the destination address.  
For memory moves where the data read is from the 64-bit address  
space, the upper dword of the address resides in the Memory Move Read  
Selector (MMRS) register. For memory moves where the data is written  
to the 64-bit address space, the upper dword of the address resides in  
the Memory Move Write Selector (MMWS) register.  
Allowing the SYM53C896 to perform memory moves frees the system  
processor for other tasks and moves data at higher speeds than available  
from current DMA controllers. Up to 16 Mbytes may be transferred with  
one instruction. There are two restrictions:  
Both the source and destination addresses must start with the same  
address alignment (A[1:0]) must be the same). If the source and  
destination are not aligned, then an illegal instruction interrupt  
occurs. For the PCI Cache Line Size register setting to take effect,  
the source and destination must be the same distance from a cache  
line boundary.  
Indirect addresses are not allowed. A burst of data is fetched from  
the source address, put into the DMA FIFO and then written out to  
the destination address. The move continues until the byte count  
decrements to zero, then another SCRIPTS is fetched from system  
memory.  
The DMA SCRIPTS Pointer Save (DSPS) and Data Structure Address  
(DSA) registers are additional holding registers used during the Memory  
Move. However, the contents of the Data Structure Address (DSA) register  
are preserved.

source and destination are not within four instructions of  
the current Memory Move instruction.

TC[23:0]  
Transfer Count  
[23:0]  
The number of bytes to transfer is stored in the lower 24  
bits of the first instruction word.  
5.6.2 Read/Write System Memory from a SCRIPTS  
By using the Memory Move instruction, single or multiple register values  
are transferred to or from system memory.  
Because the SYM53C896 responds to addresses as defined in the Base  
Address Register Zero (I/O) or Base Address Register One (MEMORY)  
registers, it can be accessed during a Memory Move operation if the  
source or destination address decodes to within the chip’s register space.  
If this occurs, the register indicated by the lower seven bits of the address  
is taken as the data source or destination. In this way, register values are  
Memory Move Instructions  
5-35  
saved to system memory and later restored, and SCRIPTS can make  
decisions based on data values in system memory.  
The SCSI First Byte Received (SFBR) is not writable using the CPU, and  
therefore not by a Memory Move. However, it can be loaded using  
SCRIPTS Read/Write operations. To load the SFBR with a byte stored  
in system memory, rst move the byte to an intermediate SYM53C896  
register (for example, a SCRATCH register), and then to the SCSI First  
Byte Received (SFBR).  
The same address alignment restrictions apply to register access  
operations as to normal memory-to-memory transfers.

5.7 Load/Store Instructions  
The Load/Store instructions provide a more efficient way to move data  
from/to memory to/from an internal register in the chip without using the  
normal memory move instruction.  
The load/store instructions are represented by two-dword opcodes. The  
first dword contains the DMA Command (DCMD) and DMA Byte Counter  
(DBC) register values. The second dword contains the DMA SCRIPTS  
Pointer Save (DSPS) value. This is either the actual memory location of  
where to load/store, or the offset from the Data Structure Address (DSA),  
depending on the value of bit 28 (DSA Relative).  
For load operations where the data is read from the 64-bit address  
space, the upper dword of address resides in the Memory Move Read  
Selector (MMRS) register. For store operations where the data is written  
to the 64-bit address space, the upper dword of address resides in the  
Memory Move Write Selector (MMWS) register.  
A maximum of 4 bytes may be moved with these instructions. The  
register address and memory address must have the same byte  
alignment, and the count set such that it does not cross dword  
boundaries. The memory address may not map back to the chip,  
excluding RAM and ROM. If it does, a PCI read/write cycle occurs (the  
data does not actually transfer to/from the chip), and the chip issues an  
interrupt (Illegal Instruction Detected) immediately following.

6.4 PCI and External Memory Interface Timing Diagrams  
Figure 6.11 through Figure 6.34 represent signal activity when the  
SYM53C896 accesses the PCI bus. This section includes timing  
diagrams for access to three groups of memory configurations. The first  
group applies to Target Timing. The second group applies to IInitiator  
Timing. The third group applies to External Memory Timing.  
Note:  
Multiple byte accesses to the external memory bus  
increase the read or write cycle by 11 clocks for each  
additional byte.
