Typical LSI53C896 Board Application
1.1.1 New Features in the LSI53C896
The LSI53C896 is functionally similar to the LSI53C876 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.
