Chapter 1 Describing the LSI20160

This chapter describes the LSI20160 Single Channel Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapter interface to PCI computer systems and includes these topics:

• Section 1.1, “General Description,” page 1-1

• Section 1.2, “Features,” page 1-2

• Section 1.3, “Ultra160 SCSI Beneﬁts,” page 1-4

• Section 1.4,“SureLINK™ Ultra160 SCSI Domain Validation Beneﬁts,”

page 1-5

• Section 1.5, “LVDlink™ Technology Beneﬁts,” page 1-5

• Section 1.6, “TolerANT® Technology Beneﬁts,” page 1-6

1.1 General Description

The LSI Logic LSI20160 provides one SCSI-3, Ultra160 SCSI interface to PCI computer systems that require BIOS support on the add-in SCSI adapter. Installing this adapter in your PCI system allows connection of SCSI devices over a SCSI bus.

The LSI20160 provides one Ultra160 SCSI channel. The LSI20160 supports Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and Single-Ended (SE) SCSI. This board supports Fast/Ultra/Ultra2 SCSI devicesas well as the newest Ultra160 SCSI devices.

The LSI Logic Storage Device Management System (SDMS™) software operates the board. The design of the board does not prevent other SCSI software from being used with it. BIOS support for this host adapter is incorporated on the board in a 128 Kbyte Flash device. The onboard controller for the LSI20160 is the LSI53C1000 PCI to Ultra160 SCSI Controller.

LSI20160 Single Channel Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapter 1-1

The LSI53C1000 contains a SCSI SCRIPTS™ processor that permits both DMA and SCSI commands to be fetched from host memory or internal SCRIPTS RAM. Algorithms written in SCSI SCRIPTS control the actions of the SCSI and DMA cores. The SCRIPTS processor executes complex SCSI bus sequences independently of the host CPU.

In addition to this guide there is another reference that you will ﬁnd useful. The LSI Logic PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide contains product information and installation instructions.

1-2 Describing the LSI20160

1.2.2 SCSI Interface

The SCSI interface is made through connectors J2 and J4. Figure 2.1 shows the location of these connectors. The SCSI interface includes these features:

• Provides one wide Ultra160 SCSI channel

• Provides two connectors:

– 68-pin VHDCI for the external connection – 68-pin high density for the internal connection

• Supports SE and LVD signaling: 16-bit SE or LVD interfaces

• Supports Domain Validation, Double Transition (DT) data transfers,

and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

• Supports variable block size and scatter/gather data transfers

• Protects nondata phases with Asynchronous Information Protection

(AIP)

• Supports two termination control options:

– Use manual shunts on connector J2 and J4 to disable

termination

– Provide software control using GPIO3 to enable or disable the

terminators

• Supplies SCSI termination power (TERMPWR) source with

autoresetting circuit breaker

• Includes SCSI Plug and Play

• Provides Flash EEPROM for BIOS conﬁguration storage

• Includes 8 Kbytes internal RAM for SCRIPTS instruction storage

• Provides a SCSI activity LED connector (J3)

Features 1-3

1.2.3 Board Characteristics

The board characteristics are

• PCI board dimensions

Approximately 4.721 x 2.536 inches

• Universal 32-bit PCI card edge connector

• Standard bracket available

1.2.4 SCSI Activity LED Interface

The J3 connector is a four-wire arrangement on the LSI20160 that represents the SCSI activity LED interface. Table 3.5 on page 3-8 lists the signal name and pin numbers for this LED interface.

1.3 Ultra160 SCSI Beneﬁts

Ultra160 SCSI is an extension of the SPI-3 draft standard that allows faster synchronous SCSI data transfer rates than Ultra2 SCSI. When enabled, Ultra160 SCSI performs 80 megatransfers per second resulting in approximately double the synchronous data transfer rates of Ultra2 SCSI. The LSI53C1000 performs 16-bit, Ultra160 SCSI synchronous data transfers as fast as 160 Mbytes/s. This advantage is most noticeable in heavily loaded systems or large block size applications such as video on-demand and image processing.

1.3.1 Double Transition (DT) Clocking

The Ultra160 data transfer speed is accomplished using DT clocking. DT clocking refers to transferring data on both rising and falling edges of the request and acknowledge signals. Double-edge clocking doubles data transfer speeds without increasing the clock rate.

1-4 Describing the LSI20160

1.3.2 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

Ultra160 SCSI includes CRC which offers higher levels of data reliability by ensuring complete integrity of transferred data. CRC is a 32-bit scheme, referred to as CRC-32. CRC is guaranteed to detect all single bit errors, any two bits in error, or any combination of errors within a single 32-bit range.

1.3.3 Asynchronous Information Protection (AIP)

The LSI53C1000 also supports AIP, which protects all nondata phases, including command, status, and messages. CRC, along with AIP, provides end-to-end protection of the SCSI I/O.

1.4 SureLINK™ Ultra160 SCSI Domain Validation Beneﬁts

SureLINK software represents the very latest SCSI interconnect management solution. It ensures robust and low risk Ultra160 SCSI implementations by extending the Domain Validation guidelines documented in the ANSI T10 SPI-3 speciﬁcations. Domain Validation veriﬁes that the system is capable of transferring data at Ultra160 speeds, allowing it to renegotiate to lower speed and bus width if necessary.

SureLINK software is the control for the manageability enhancements in the LSI53C1000. Fully integrated in the SDMS software solution, SureLINK software provides Domain Validation at boot time, as well as throughout system operation.

1.5 LVDlink™ Technology Beneﬁts

The LSI20160 supports LVD for SCSI, a signaling technology that increases the reliability of SCSI data transfers over longer distances than are supported by SE SCSI. The low current output of LVD allows the I/O transceivers to be integrated directly onto the chip. LVDlink technology lowers the amplitude of noise reﬂections and allows higher transmission frequencies. LVD provides a long-term migration path to even faster SCSI transfer rates without compromising signal integrity, cable length, or connectivity.

SureLINK™ Ultra160 SCSI Domain Validation Beneﬁts 1-5

Important: All bus devices must be LVD or SE. If a High Voltage

Differential (HVD) device is detected, the board puts the SCSI bus in the high impedance state and shuts down.

1.6 TolerANT®Technology Beneﬁts

The LSI20160 features TolerANT technology, which includes active negation on the SCSI drivers and input signal ﬁltering on the SCSI receivers. The beneﬁts of TolerANT technology include increased immunity to noise when the signal is going HIGH, better performance due to balanced duty cycles, and improved fast SCSI transfer rates. In addition, TolerANT SCSI devices do not cause glitches on the SCSI bus at power up or power down, so other devices on the bus are also protected from data corruption.

When it is used with the LVDlink transceivers, TolerANT technology provides excellent signal quality and data reliability in real world cabling environments. TolerANT input signal ﬁltering is a built-in feature of the LSI53C1000 device as well as all LSI Logic SCSI devices.
