operations of SCSI buses.
Note:
The IDD operates as a target (TARG) on the SCSI bus. The IDD is called "TARG" in this
chapter except when clear identification is required.
1.1 System Configuration
Up to 16-bit SCSI series models can be connected to the system via the SCSI bus. Figure 1.1 gives
an example of multi-host system configuration.
Each SCSI device operates as an initiator (INIT) or a target (TARG). Only a single INIT and a
single TARG selected by this INIT can operate simultaneously on the SCSI bus.
The system configuration allows any combination of a SCSI device to operate as the INIT and a
SCSI device to operate as the TARG. Also, any device having both the INIT and TARG functions
can be used on the SCSI bus.
Each SCSI device is assigned a unique address (or SCSI ID). The SCSI ID corresponds to a bit
number of the SCSI data bus. While the INIT uses a logical unit number (LUN) to select an I/O
unit to be connected under TARG control.
C141-C011 1-1
Any SCSI ID of the IDD can be selected using the setup pins. However, the LUN is fixed to zero
(0). The SCSI ID can be 0 to 15.
Note:
The maximum number of SCSI devices and the maximum cable length are limited depending
on the selected SCSI data transfer mode and the SCSI transceiver type. Appropriate SCSI
devices and cable length must be determined for each system.

1.2 Interface Signal Definition
Figure 1.2 shows interface signal types. The SCSI bus consists of 27 signal lines. The 27 signal
lines consist of data buses (2 bytes plus two odd parity bits) and 9 control signal lines.
The SCSI bus can be a single-ended or low voltage differential(LVD) interface depending on the
model used. Their physical and electrical characteristics are detailed in Sections 1.3 and 1.4.

C141-C011 1-3
Figure 1.2 Interface signals
(1) DB15 to DB00, P1, P_CRCA (Data buses)
The 16-bit SCSI system uses a bidirectional data bus consisting of two-byte data and two odd
parity bits.
MSB (2
15
): DB15, LSB (20): DB00
The data bus is used to transfer a command, data, a status, or a message in the INFORMATION
TRANSFER phase. However, DB15 to DB08 and P1 are used for data transfer only. The data is
transferred only after the WIDE DATA TRANSFER REQUEST or PARALLEL PROTOCOL
REQUEST message has been exchanged and the 16-bit data transfer mode has been established
between the INIT and TARG.
In the ARBITRATION phase, the data bus is used to send a SCSI ID to determine the bus
arbitration priority. In the SELECTION or RESELECTION phase, the data bus is used to send a
SCSI ID of the INIT and TARG. Figure 1.3 shows the relationship between the data buses and
SCSI IDs.

(a) DB15 to 0
Sixteen data-bit signals that form the 16-bit DATA BUS.
(b) DB7 to 0
Eight data-bit signals that form the 16-bit DATA BUS.
(c) P1 (ST DATA phase)
A signal sourced by the SCSI device driving the data bus during ST DATA phases. This signal is
associated with the DB(15-8) signals and is used to detect the presence of an odd number of bit
errors within the byte. The parity bit is driven such that the number of logical ones in the byte plus
the parity bit is odd.
1-4 C141-C011
(d) P1 (data group transfer enabled)
A signal that shall be continuously negated by the SCSI device driving the DB(15-0) signals and
shall be ignored by the SCSI device receiving the DB(15-0) signals during DT DATA phases.
(e) P1 (information unit and paced transfer enabled)
A signal that is sourced by SCSI device to indicate the data valid or data invalid state.
(f) P_CRCA (PARITY/CRC AVAILABLE) (SELECTION phase, ST DATA phase, COMMAND phase,
MESSAGE phase, or STATUS phase)
A signal sourced by the SCSI device driving the data bus during these phases. This signal is
associated with the DB(7-0) signals and is used to detect the presence of an odd number of bit
errors within the byte. The parity bit is driven such that the number of logical ones in the byte plus
the parity bit is odd.
The parity bits (P1 and P_CRCA) is optional for the system. The IDD handles the data bus parity
as follows:
• The IDD has the data bus parity check function, and can enable or disable the parity check.
See Section 5.3.2 "SCSI Parity" of the Product Manual for setup details.
• When valid data is sent to the data bus from the IDD, the parity data is always guaranteed
except for the ARBITRATION phase.
(g) P_CRCA (data group transfer enabled)
A signal sourced by a target during DT DATA phases to control whether a data group field is a pad
field, pCRC field, or data field. When asserted the data group field shall be pad or pCRC fields
that shall not be transferred to the ULP. When negated the data group field shall be a data field that
shall be transferred to the ULP.
Note:
ULP is "Upper Level Protocol".
(h) P_CRCA (information unit and paced transfer enabled)
During DT DATA phases when information unit transfers are enabled this signal is referred to as
P_CRCA and is sourced by the SCSI target port. Depending on the negotiated condition of read
streaming and write flow control the SCSI initiator port and SCSI target port usage for P_CRCA is
different. When information unit transfers are enabled the SCSI target port and SCSI initiator port
shall use the P_CRCA signal.
C141-C011 1-5
(2) BSY (BUSY)
The BSY signal indicates that the SCSI bus is in use. In the ARBITRATION phase, this signal is
used to request for the bus usage priority.
(3) SEL (SELECT)
The SEL signal is used by the INIT to select a TARG (in the SELECTION phase) or by the TARG
to reselect an INIT (in the RESELECTION phase).
(4) C/D (CONTROL/DATA)
This is a combination of I/O and MSG signals, and specifies a type of information transferred on
the data bus. The C/D signal is always driven by the TARG (see Table 1.1).
(5) I/O (INPUT/OUTPUT)
The I/O signal specifies the information transmission direction on the data bus. It is also used to
identify the SELECTION phase or RESELECTION phase. This signal is always driven by the
TARG (see Table 1.1).
(6) MSG (MESSAGE)
A signal sourced by a target to indicate the MESSAGE phase or a DT DATA phase depending on
whether C/D is true or false. Asserted indicates MESSAGE or DT DATA (see Table 1.1).

1-6 C141-C011
(7) REQ (REQUEST)
This is a transmission request from the TARG to the INIT in the INFORMATION TRANSFER
phase.
(8) ACK (ACKNOWLEDGE)
The ACK signal is a response to the REQ signal sent from the INIT to TARG in the
INFORMATION TRANSFER phase.
(9) ATN (ATTENTION)
The ATN signal indicates that the INIT has a message to be sent to the TARG. It is used to
generate an ATTENTION condition.
(10) RST (RESET)
The RST signal is a Reset signal to clear all SCSI devices on the bus (to the RESET condition).
1.3 Physical Requirements
All SCSI devices are connected to each other in a daisy chain. Both ends of the interface cable are
terminated with resistor.
Tables 1.2 and 1.3 define the SCSI bus electrical characteristics (for interface signal
driver/receiver).
