Product Description
The ISP1040C is a single-chip, highly integrated, bus
master, SCSI I/O processor for use in SCSI initiator-type
applications. The device interfaces the PCI bus to a wide,
Ultra SCSI bus and contains an onboard RISC processor.
The ISP1040C is a fully autonomous device, capable of
managing multiple I/O operations and associated data
transfers from initiation to completion without host CPU
intervention. The ISP1040C provides power management
feature support in accordance with the PCI Bus Power
Management Specification while retaining full pin
compatibility with the QLogic ISP1040B. The ISP1040C
block diagram is illustrated in figure 1.

ISP Initiator and Target Firmware
The ISP1040C firmware implements a cooperative,
multitasking host adapter that provides the host system with
complete SCSI command and data transport capabilities,
thus freeing the host system from the demands of the SCSI
bus protocol. The ISP1040C firmware provides two
interfaces to the host system: the command interface and
the SCSI transport interface. The single-threaded command
interface facilitates debugging, configuration, and error
recovery. The multithreaded SCSI transport interface
maximizes use of the SCSI and host buses. The ISP1040C
switches dynamically between initiator and target modes.

Figure 2. I/O Subsystem Design Using the ISP1040C
Interfaces
The ISP1040C supports the following interfaces:
■ PCI bus
■ RISC processor
■ SCSI executive processor
Pins that support these interfaces and other chip
operations are shown in figure 3.
To maximize I/O throughput and improve host and
SCSI bus utilization, the ISP1040C incorporates a
high-speed, proprietary RISC processor; an intelligent
SCSI bus controller (SCSI executive processor [SXP]); and
a host bus, dual-channel DMA controller. The SCSI bus
controller and the host bus DMA controller operate
independently and concurrently under control of the
onboard RISC processor for maximum system
performance. The ISP1040C RISC interface requires
external program data memory.
The complete I/O subsystem solution using the
ISP1040C and associated supporting memory devices is
shown in figure 2.

Support for PCI cache commands
3.3 V and 5.0 V tolerant PCI I/O buffers
Support for flash BIOS PROM
The ISP1040C is designed to interface directly to the
PCI local bus and operate as a 32-bit DMA master. This
function is accomplished through the PCI bus interface unit
(PBIU) containing an onboard DMA controller. The PBIU
generates and samples PCI bus control signals, generates
host memory addresses, and facilitates data transfers
between host memory and the onboard DMA FIFO. The
PBIU also allows the host to access the ISP1040C internal
registers and communicate with the onboard RISC
processor through the PCI bus target mode operation.

QLogic Corporation
The ISP1040C onboard DMA controller consists of two
independent DMA channels that initiate transactions on the
PCI bus and transfer data between the memory and DMA
FIFO. The two DMA channels are the command DMA
channel and the data DMA channel. The command DMA
channel is used mainly by the RISC processor for small
transfers such as fetching commands from and writing
status information to the host memory over the PCI bus.
The data DMA channel transfers data between the SCSI
bus and the PCI bus.
The PBIU internally arbitrates between the data DMA
channel and the command DMA channel and alternately
services them. Each DMA channel has a set of DMA
registers that are programmed for transfers by the RISC
processor.
RISC Processor Interface
interfaces; executes simultaneous, multiple input/output
control blocks (IOCBs); and maintains the required thread
information for each transfer.
SCSI Executive Processor Interface
The ISP1040C SXP interface supports the following:
■ 8- or 16-bit data transfers
■ Ultra SCSI (Fast-20) synchronous data transfer
rates up to 40 Mbytes/sec
■ Asynchronous SCSI data transfer rates up to
12 Mbytes/sec
■ Programmable SCSI processor
❒ Specialized instruction set with 16-bit
microword
❒ 384-bit by 16-bit internal RAM control store
■
The ISP1040C RISC processor interface supports the
following:
■ Programmable cycle time for external memory
access
■ Internal 16-bit wide data paths
■ Execution of multiple I/O control blocks from the
host memory
■ Management of onboard host bus DMA controller
and SCSI bus controller
■ Reduced host intervention and interrupt overhead
■ Capacity to generate one interrupt per I/O operation
The onboard RISC processor enables the ISP1040C to
handle complete I/O transactions with no intervention from
the host. The ISP1040C RISC processor controls the chip
