    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.
  • Page 21: Interface Signal Definition

    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.
  • Page 22: Data Bus And Scsi Id

    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 ): DB15, LSB (2 ): DB00 The data bus is used to transfer a command, data, a status, or a message in the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase.
  • Page 23 (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) 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.
  • Page 24: Information Transfer Phase Identification

    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. 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).
  • Page 25: Physical Requirements

    REQ (REQUEST) This is a transmission request from the TARG to the INIT in the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. ACK (ACKNOWLEDGE) The ACK signal is a response to the REQ signal sent from the INIT to TARG in the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. ATN (ATTENTION) The ATN signal indicates that the INIT has a message to be sent to the TARG.

    Bus Phases The SCSI bus must be in one of the following eight phases: BUS FREE phase ARBITRATION phase SELECTION phase RESELECTION phase COMMAND phase DATA phase INFORMATION TRANSFER phase STATUS phase MESSAGE phase The SCSI bus can never be in more than one phase at any given time. Note: In the following bus phase conditions, signals are false unless otherwise defined.
  • Page 58: Bus Free Phase

    1.6.1 BUS FREE phase All SCSI devices do not use the bus in the BUS FREE phase. SCSI devices shall detect the BUS FREE phase after SEL and BSY signals are both false for one Bus Settle Delay. SCSI devices which have detected the BUS FREE phase shall release all bus signals within one Bus Clear Delay after BSY and SEL signals become false for Bus Settle Delay.
  • Page 59: Arbitration Phase

    The SCSI bus enters the BUS FREE phase when the TARG stops the BSY signal in one of the following events: When RESET condition has been detected. When TARG has received the following message normally. ABORT TASK, ABORT TASK SET, CLEAR TASK SET, LOGICAL UNIT RESET, TARG RESET, CLEAR ACA When TARG has transmitted the following message normally.

    1.6.3 SELECTION phase An INIT selects a TARG (a single SCSI unit) in the SELECTION phase. Note: I/O signal is false during a SELECTION phase. (The I/O signal identifies the phase as SELECTION or RESELECTION). Start sequence without ARBITRATION phase In systems with the ARBITRATION phase not implemented, the INIT starts the SELECTION phase in the following sequence (see Figure 1.23).
  • Page 63 Selection enabled parity protection and using/without using attention condition 1) The INIT sets the DATA BUS to a value that is the OR of INIT's SCSI ID bit, the TARG's SCSI ID bit, and the appropriate parity bit(s) (i.e., DB(P_CRCA and/or P1)). 2) In the case of selection using attention condition, the INIT should create an attention condition (indicating that a MESSAGE OUT phase is to follow the SLECTION phase).

    1.6.4 RESELECTION phase The SCSI device operated as a TARG selects an INIT in the RESELECTION phase. This phase is an option for the system, and this phase can only be used in systems with the ARBITRATION phase implemented. When the TARG re-starts the command processing under the disconnection on the SCSI bus, the TARG reconnects with the INIT using this phase.
  • Page 67 Response sequence If a SCSI unit (INIT to be selected) detects the SEL and I/O signals and data bus bit (DBn) corresponding to the own SCSI ID are all true and if it detects the BSY signal which is false for at least Bus Settle Delay, the SCSI unit shall recognize that it is selected in the RESELECTION phase.
  • Page 68: Reselection Phase

    Timeout procedure If the TARG cannot detect a response (BSY signal) from the INIT when the Selection Timeout Delay or longer has passed after starting the RESELECTION phase, the timeout procedure shall be performed though one of the following schemes: 1) The TARG asserts the TRUE signal and generates an RESET condition.
  • Page 69: Information Transfer Phases

    1.6.5 INFORMATION TRANSFER phases The COMMAND, DATA, STATUS and MESSAGE phases are generally called the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. This phase can transfer the control information and data between the INIT and TARG via the data bus. The type of INFORMATION TRANSFER phase is determined by the combination of C/D, I/O, and MSG signals (see Table 1.1).
  • Page 70: 1.6.5.1 Asynchronous Transfer Mode

    Notes: After the ACK signal becomes false in the current INFORMATION TRANSFER phase, the TARG can start preparing a new phase by changing the status of C/D, I/O and MSG signals. The status of these three signals can change in any order or at once. The status of one signal may change more than once;...
  • Page 71 b. Transfer from INIT to TARG When the I/O signal is false, the information of the data bus is transferred from the INIT to the TARG. The following explains the information transfer sequence. The TARG asserts the REQ signal to request the INIT for information transfer. The INIT asserts the ACK signal at least one System Deskew Delay + Cable Skew Delay after sending valid information of the requested type on the data bus.

    c. Improved Error Detection for the Asynchronous Information Phases (AIP) The COMMAND, MESSAGE and STATUS asynchronous information transfer phases except DATA phase only transfer information on the lower eight data bits of a SCSI bus with only normal parity protection on those transfers. In this improved detection additional check information can be transferred on the upper eight data bits.
  • Page 74 Note: The IDD supports up to 20 MHz (40 MHz on LVD) of synchronous data transfer (see Table 1.7). The default data transfer mode is asynchronous. When the power is first turned on, the system is reset, or after the TARGET RESET message has been issued, data is transferred in the asynchronous mode only.
  • Page 75 (b) The case of the I/O signal is false (transfer to the TARG) 1) The INIT detects a REQ assertion. 2) The INIT first drives the DB(7-0,P_CRCA) or DB(15-0,P_CRCA,P1) signals to their values. 3) The INIT delays at least one Transmit Setup Time. 4) The INIT asserts the ACK signal.

  • Page 77 DT synchronous data transfer When a DT data transfer agreement has been established the target shall only use the DT DATA IN phase and DT DATA OUT phase for data transfers. The DT synchronous data transfer is available only when it has been defined between the INIT and TARG by exchanging the PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message with each other.
  • Page 78 5) INIT fetches the values from DB(15-0) signals within a receive hold time of the transition of the REQ signal and it also fetches the value from the P_CRCA signal within a pCRC receive hold time of the transition of the REQ signal. Then INIT responds with an ACK transition.
  • Page 79 9) TARG drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values and waits at least one transmit setup time. 10) TARG negates the REQ signal and holds the DB(15-0) signals for a minimum of one transmit hold time and the P_CRCA signal asserted for at least a pCRC transmit hold time. 11) TARG holds the REQ signal negated for at least one transmit REQ negation period with P_CRCA transitioning since the last REQ negation.
  • Page 80 If received pCRC and computed pCRC do not match (i.e., a pCRC error is detected), or if an improperly formatted data group is transferred, then the INIT creates an attention condition or before the last transfer of the pCRC field. When the TARG switches to a MESSAGE OUT phase the INIT sends an INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR message to the TARG.
  • Page 81 When the INIT detects an assertion of the P_CRCA signal and the REQ signal is negated (i.e., no pad field required), INIT transfers data bytes for all outstanding REQs received prior to the REQ that had the P_CRCA signal asserted. INIT drives the DB(15-0) signals to their desired pCRC values. INIT delays at least one transmit setup time, asserts the ACK signal and holds the DB(15- 0) signals valid for a minimum of one transmit hold time and the ACK signal asserted for a minimum of a transmit assertion period.

    1.6.5.3 Wide mode transfer (16-bit SCSI) The wide mode transfer enables information transfer using a multiple-byte-wide data bus. It is used only in DATA phases. In wide mode transfer, the WIDE DATA TRANSFER REQUEST or PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message should first be exchanged by the INIT and the TARG to define the data transfer mode between SCSI devices.

    Data transfer rate in synchronous mode Table 1.18 lists the synchronous transfer mode parameters valid for the IDD. The actual values are determined by exchange of SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST or PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message between the two SCSI devices. If two or more INITs are used, different parameters may be used by each INIT.

The IDD monitors the response from the INIT (BSY signal) in the RESELECTION phase.
  • Page 90: Bus Conditions

    Bus Conditions Two types of asynchronous control, the ATTENTION condition and RESET condition, shall be defined to control or modify the bus phase transition sequence (bus conditions). 1.7.1 ATTENTION condition The ATTENTION condition allows the INIT to report that the INIT has a message to be sent to the TARG.
  • Page 91 When the ATN signal becomes true in the DATA phase, the TARG shall start the MESSAGE OUT phase immediately after the DATA phase. However, the TARG can enter the MESSAGE OUT phase any time when necessary. (Data transfer is not interrupted on a boundary of logical data blocks.) The INIT shall continue the REQ/ACK handshaking (in DATA phase) until the bus phase is changed.

    1.7.2 RESET condition The RESET condition allows all SCSI devices to release immediately from the bus. RESET has higher priority than any other phases and bus conditions. Any SCSI device can generate the RESET condition anytime by keeping the RST signal true for Reset Hold Time or more. The state of all bus signals except RST signals are undefined during the RESET condition.
