6.6.2 Signal Bus Timing
The ANSI SCSI-2 standard defines the SCSI bus timing values listed in
Table 6-5
.
Table 6-5.
SCSI Bus Timing Values
Timing Description
Value
Description
Arbitration Delay
2.4 µs
Minimum time a SCSI device waits from asserting BSY for
arbitration until the DATA BUS can be examined to see if
arbitration has been won; there is no maximum time.
Assertion Period
90 ns
Minimum time a drive asserts REQ while using synchronous
data transfers; also, the minimum time that an initiator asserts
ACK while using synchronous data transfers.
Bus Clear Delay
800 ns
Maximum time for a SCSI device to stop driving all bus signals
after:
1. BUS FREE is detected.
2. SEL is received from another SCSI device during
ARBITRATION.
3. Transition of RST to true.
For condition 1, the maximum time for a SCSI device to clear the
bus is 1200 ns (1.2
µ
s) from BSY and SEL first becoming both
false.
If a SCSI device requires more than a bus settle delay to detect
BUS FREE, it clears the bus within a bus clear delay minus the
excess time.
Bus Free Delay
800 ns
Maximum time a SCSI device waits from its detection of BUS
FREE until its assertion of BSY when going to ARBITRATION.
Bus Set Delay
1.8 µs
Maximum time for a device to assert BSY and its SCSI ID bit on
the DATA BUS after it detects BUS FREE to enter
ARBITRATION.
Bus Settle Delay
400 ns
Minimum time to wait for the bus to settle after changing certain
control signals as called out in the protocol definitions.
Cable Skew Delay
10 ns
Maximum difference in propagation time allowed between any
two SCSI bus signals measured between any two SCSI devices.
Data Release Delay
400 ns
Maximum time for an initiator to release the DATA BUS signals
following the transition of the I/O signal from false to true.
Deskew Delay
45 ns
Minimum time required to wait for all signals (especially data
signals) to stabilize at their correct, final value after changing.
