BENEFITS
• Ultra SCSI technology doubles
the I/O bandwidth to 20 MBps
• Builds upon proven technology —
A pin-for-pin replacement for
the industry standard
LSI53C810 and LSI53C810AE
• Easy migration minimizes
schedule and design risk
OVERVIEW
The LSI53C860E controller supports Ultra SCSI transfers, enabling the
chip to transfer SCSI data at up to 20 MBps across an 8-bit SCSI bus. Ultra
SCSI doubles the synchronous transfer rates of Fast SCSI. The advantage of
LSI Logic’s Ultra SCSI is that it significantly improves SCSI bandwidth, while
preserving existing hardware and software investments. The LSI53C860E
provides full SCSI-2 capabilities, including command queuing, and features
TolerANT SCSI driver and receiver technology, for reliable operation in all
cabling environments. It is designed to connect to the Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) bus, performing burst transfers on the bus in excess of
110 MBps.
®
The LSI53C860E controller and Storage Device Management System
(SDMS™) software, provide a total Ultra SCSI solution in PC and workstation
environments. LSI Logic’s SDMS software package supports the entire
LSI53C8XX family of PCI to SCSI controllers, plus a wide range of SCSI
peripheral devices.
PCI performance enhancements on the LSI53C860E include the SCRIPTS
(the LSI Logic developed SCSI programming language) instruction prefetch,
which when enabled, permits fetching four or eight double words of instructions or instruction operands. By pre-fetching instructions, the LSI53C860E
makes more efficient use of the PCI system bus by reducing the PCI bus overhead requirements. In addition, the part supports the PCI Cache Line Size
Register with programmable alignment logic and automatic burst sizing,
allowing system architects to maximize their cache-based system performance
• Provides new features for
enhanced PCI performance
and flexibility
FEATURES
• Performs high-speed singleended SCSI bus transfers up to:
• 20 MBps synchronous Ultra
SCSI transfers
• 7 MBps asynchronous transfers
• SCRIPTS™ Instruction Prefetch
• Load and Store instruction
• Support for PCI Cache Line
Size Register
• Functions as full 32-bit PCI
DMA bus master
• Bursts 2, 4, 8, or 16 dwords of
data across PCI bus using
80-byte DMA FIFO
LSI53C860E SCSI Controller
through efficient use of PCI Memory Read Line, Memory Read Multiple, and
Memory Write and Invalidate access cycles. Other selectable features that
can be activated include:
• IRQ disable, allowing users to better control the times when their system
can receive interrupts.
• SCSI Selected as ID register, improving SCRIPTS coding and system tracking.
• Load and Store instruction allows the programmer a new, efficient
instruction option to load data directly to/from memory and from/to an
internal register, reducing the number of I/O instructions to implement a
SCRIPTS task.
EASE-OF-USE FEATURES
• Pin-for-pin replacement for LSI53C810 and LSI53C810AE devices
• Minimal software and hardware modification required for Ultra SCSI
• Compact 100-pin PQFP reduces board space requirements
• Direct PCI to SCSI connection
• Compiler-compatible with existing LSI53C7XX and LSI53C8XX SCRIPTS
• Fully supported by SDMS software for complete PC-based
operating system support
FLEXIBILITY FEATURES
• Selectable IRQ disable
• SCSI Selected as ID register
• Support for both 3.3 volt and 5 volt PCI interfaces
• High-level programming interface (SCSI SCRIPTS)
• Allows tailored SCSI sequences to be executed from main memory
• Accommodates changes in the logical I/O interface definition
• Low-level access to all registers and all SCSI bus signals
COMPATIBILITY FEATURES
• Full complement of LSI Logic SCSI SCRIPTS PCI development tools available
• BIOS and driver support for hard disk, tape, CD-ROM, and removable
media peripherals for all of the major operating systems, including:
• Windows NT 4.0
• Windows 95/98
• DOS
• Linux
