1.1 General Description
The LSI53C1000 brings Ultra160 SCSI performance to host adapter,
workstation, and server designs, making it easy to add a
high-performance SCSI bus to any PCI system.
The LSI53C1000 supports a 64-bit or 32-bit, 66 or 33 MHz PCI bus. The
Ultra160 SCSI features implemented in the LSI53C1000 are: Double
Transition (DT) clocking, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and Domain
Validation. These features comply with the Ultra160 SCSI industry
initiative.
DT clocking permits the LSI53C1000 to transfer data up to
160 megabytes per second (Mbytes/s). CRC improves the integrity of the
SCSI data transmission through enhanced detection of communication
errors. Asynchronous Information Protection (AIP) augments CRC to
protect all nondata phases, providing complete end-to-end protection of
the SCSI I/O. SureLINK™ Domain Validation detects the SCSI bus
