Am53CF94/Am53CF96
Enhanced SCSI-2 Controller (ESC)
DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Enhanced SCSI-2 Controller (ESC) was designed
to support Fast SCSI-2 transfer rates of up to
10 Mbytes/s in synchronous mode and up to 7 Mbytes/s
in the asynchronous mode. The ESC is downward com-
patible with the Am53C94/96, combining its functionality
with features such as Fast SCSI, programmable Active
Negation, a 24-bit transfer counter, and a part-unique ID
code containing manufacturer and serial # information.
AMD’s proprietary features such as power-down mode
for SCSI transceivers, programmable GLITCH EATER,
and extended Target command set are also included for
improved product performance.
The Enhanced SCSI-2 Controller (ESC) has a flexible
three bus architecture. The ESC has a 16-bit DMA inter-
face, an 8-bit host data interface and an 8-bit SCSI data
interface. The ESC is designed to minimize host inter-
vention by implementing common SCSI sequences in
hardware. An on-chip state machine reduces protocol
overheads by performing the required sequences in re-
sponse to a single command from the host. Selection,
Pin/function compatible with Emulex
FAS216/236

consumption
PRELIMINARY
TM
Circuitry on REQ and ACK inputs
reselection, information transfer and disconnection
commands are directly supported.
The 16-byte-internal FIFO further assists in minimizing
host involvement. The FIFO provides a temporary stor-
age for all command, data, status and message bytes as
they are transferred between the 16-bit host data bus
and the 8-bit SCSI data bus. During DMA operations the
FIFO acts as a buffer to allow greater latency in the DMA
channel. This permits the DMA channel to be sus-
pended for higher priority operations such as DRAM re-
fresh or reception of an ISDN packet.
Parity on the DMA bus is optional. Parity can either be
generated and checked or it can be simply passed
through.
The Target command set for the Am53CF94/96 in-
cludes an additional command, the Access FIFO com-
mand, to allow the host or DMA controller to remove re-
maining FIFO data following the host’s issuance of a
Target abort DMA command or following an abort due to
AMD’s exclusive programmable power-down
feature
24-Bit extended transfer counter allows for
data block transfer of up to 16 Mbytes
Independently programmable 3-byte message
and group 2 identification
Additional check for ID message during
bus-initiated Select with ATN
Reselection has QTAG features of ATN3
Access FIFO Command
Delayed enable signal for differential drivers
avoid contention on SCSI differential lines
Programmable Active Negation on REQ, ACK
and Data lines
