LSIFC929 Dual Channel Fibre Solutions LSIFC929 HARDWARE FEATURES • Fusion-MPT™ architecture • Highly-integrated 2 Gbit dual-channel, full duplex Fibre Channel protocol controller • GigaBlaze™ 2 Gbit serial link • Auto-negotiation for legacy connect ® • Custom ARM RISC processor • High-performance context management LSIFC929 FIBRE CHANNEL PROTOCOL CONTROLLER To keep pace with the considerable performance demands in today’s Fibre Channel arena, LSI Logic offers an unprecedented dual-channel PCI-toFibre Channel controller-the LSIFC929. Featuring 2 Gbit data rates per channel, the highly integrated LSIFC929 controller enables system designers to double I/O performance while greatly enhancing host utilization and connectivity. The LSIFC929 provides designers optimal flexibility by supporting all Fibre Channel topologies with full duplex communications on both channels. An extremely cost-effective, power-efficient Fibre Channel solution, the LSIFC929 controller enables OEMs and system integrators the full advantages of today’s dual-channel drive storage devices. The LSIFC929 controller frees up valuable PCI board slots, and additionally eliminates the need for a PCI bridge, a second single-channel Fibre Channel controller and the associated memory and support devices of current dual-channel designs. The result is marked savings in circuit board real estate, system reliability and power consumption, making the LSIFC929 controller the Fibre Channel solution for workstations, servers and storage area networks. The LSIFC929 controller is the first true multifunctional device supporting Fibre Channel protocol (FCP) and Internet protocol (IP) intermixed and simultaneous on both channels. Providing designers the greatest flexibility in system configuration, IP traffic can be fully intermixed with SCSI traffic or routed separately to an individual channel. Also, IP and SCSI traffic can coexist in NT systems without the need for a full port driver. • Synchronous SRAM external memory interface • Full simultaneous target and initiator operations • PC99 compliant • JTAG debug interface • 329 BGA F I B R E C H A N N E L F E AT U R E S • Class 2 and 3 support • BB credit of 3, alternate login of 1 • FC-PH, FC-AL2 r7.0, FC-FCP, FC-PLDA, FC-FLA, FCA-IP, IETF-IPFC, and PCI 2.2 compliant • N_Port supporting: – N_Port (Point-to-Point) – F_Port (Fabric Attach) • NL_Port supporting: – NL_Port (Private Loop) – FL_Port (Public Loop) LSIFC929 Dual Channel Fibre Solutions 528 MBps I/O Processor FC Xcvr 400 MBps 2 GFC http://storageio.lsilogic.com LSI Logic Corporation North American Headquarters Xmtr Context Rcvr Link 64-Bit 66-MHz PCI Bus Xmtr Context Rcvr Link PCI Interface System Interface 32-Bit Memory Controller SSRAM For more information please visit the LSI Logic web site at: FC Xcvr 400 MBps 2 GFC Milpitas, CA Tel: 866 574 5741 LSI Logic Europe Ltd.

To accomplish this, LSI Logic has developed standardized software support known as Fusion-MPT. Initially implemented for the LSIFC909 single-channel PCI-to-Fibre Channel host adapter, the Fusion-MPT common software architecture is incorporated into the LSIFC929 dual-channel controller, and will follow as LSI Logic’s common software architecture in all future storage interface products. Fusion-MPT is designed as a standard software interface that is independent of underlying physical interfaces and protocols. The LSIFC929 Fusion-MPT implementation allows the LSI44929O/LO to be compatible with LSI Logic’s complete line of Fusion-MPT drivers. This technology provides the benefit of complete binary compatibility of host software across different physical interfaces (such as SCSI, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand) and future interface controller product generations. The result is reduced software development, as well as considerably less integration and certification time, for system designers with a critical need to shorten time to market. 2 Tokyo, Japan Fax 81 3 5463 7820 The LSI Logic logo design, GigaBlaze, and Fusion-MPT are trademarks or registered trademarks of LSI Logic Corporation.
