Introduction
that no errors occur on the transfers. These altered signals are only used
during the diagnostic check and not during normal system operation. If
errors occur with any of these checks, the system can drop back to a
lower transmission speed, on a per-target basis, to ensure robust system
operation.
1.4 Benefits of LVDlink
The LSI53C1000 supports LVD through LVDlink. This signaling
technology 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 reliability of High Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI without
the added cost of external differential transceivers. Ultra160 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 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 LSI53C1000
features universal LVDlink transceivers that support LVD SCSI and SE
SCSI. This allows use of the LSI53C1000 in both legacy and Ultra160
SCSI applications.
1.5 Benefits of TolerANT
®
Technology
The LSI53C1000 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.
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 which is the single biggest reliability
