HARDWARE/SOFTWARE FEATURES
Compatibility with LSI53C895 Controller
The LSI53C895A is pin compatible with the LSI53C895 PCI-Ultra2 SCSI
controller, which is the proven, industry standard in the Ultra2 SCSI market
today. With minor changes to pull-up resistor options, the LSI53C895A can
be dropped into an existing LSI53C895 board, providing enhanced features
while minimizing risk.
PCI Interface
The host PCI interface complies with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision
2.1, and implements a 32-bit/33 MHz PCI bus. Additionally, support for
64-bit addressing is provided through DAC.
The LSI53C895A complies with PCI Power Management Interface
Specification, Revision 1.1 and PC99, supporting power states DO, DI,
D2, D3hot, and D3cold, power management capabilities registers in PCI
configuration space, and programmable values for PCI Subsystem Vendor ID
and Subsystem ID. Extended access cycles (Memory Read Line, Memory
Read Multiple, and Memory Write and Invalidate) are also supported.
SCSI Processor
The LSI53C895A SCSI controller supports wide Ultra2 SCSI synchronous
transfer rates up to 80 MBps on a LVD SCSI bus. Integrated LVDIink transceivers
support both LVD and single-ended signals with no external transceivers
required, alternatively, HVD signaling is supported with external transceivers.
Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and Ultra2 SCSI are all supported by the LSI53C895A,
providing maximum flexibility.
An on-chip SCSI clock quadrupler allows the chip to achieve Ultra2
SCSI transfer rates with an input frequency of 40 MHz.
8 KB of internal RAM for SCRIPTS instruction storage allow accesses to
remain internal, reducing the time spent on the PCI bus. A 944-byte DMA
FIFO allows the device to efficiently burst up to 512 bytes across the PCI bus.
SCSI bus phase mismatches are handled in SCRIPTS, reducing CPU utilization.

MEMORY INTERFACES
The LSI53C895A supports up to I MB of external expansion ROM through
a parallel interface, for add-in card designs. For ease of software development
and field upgrades of the ROM, the interface supports local programming of
FLASH memory. A serial 2-wire interface provides a connection to an external
serial EEPROM for storing Subsystem Vendor ID and Subsystem ID.

SOFTWARE
SDMS software was designed using a modular approach for quick development,
validation and support for new OS versions as well as the LSI53C895A. To
round out the SDMS solution, LSI Logic also provides installation and configuration
utilities, user documentation for each OS, plus timely and knowledgeable
technical support. For performance, SDMS software takes advantage of the
I/O processing capabilities of the LSI53C895A to support target disconnect/
reselect, synchronous and wide SCSI operation and multiple host adapters.
Under Windows NT, Solaris and NetWare, SDMS software supports one
processor interrupt per I/O.
Server Management support is DMI 2.0-based for Windows NT, NetWare
and UnixWare, with management application support through a snap-in
Java
™
based browser.
