SCSI Registers 4-97
Register: 0x4F
SCSI Test Three (STEST3)
Read/Write
TE TolerANT Enable 7
Setting this bit enables the active negation portion of
LSI Logic TolerANT technology. Active negation causes
the SCSI Request, Acknowledge, Data, and Parity
signals to be actively deasserted, instead of relying on
external pull-ups, when the LSI53C896 SCSI function is
driving these signals. Active deassertion of these signals
occurs only when the LSI53C896 SCSI function is in an
information transfer phase. When operating in a
differential environment or at fast SCSI timings, TolerANT
Active negation should be enabled to improve setup and
deassertion times. Active negation is disabled after reset
or when this bit is cleared. For more information on
LSI Logic TolerANT technology, see
Chapter 1,
“Introduction.”
Note: Set this bit if the Enable Ultra SCSI bit in SCSI Control
Three (SCNTL3) is set.
STR SCSI FIFO Test Read 6
Setting this bit places the SCSI core into a test mode in
which the SCSI FIFO is easily read. Reading the least
significant byte of the
SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL)
register causes the FIFO to unload. The functions are
summarized in the following table.
