  • Fastscsi Product Overview Product Brief ASC3030 ASB3922 ASB3925 the Fast SCSI Solution from Advansys Has High Performance and Affordability Built-In
    ä Performance Connectivity… FastSCSI Product Overview Product Brief ASC3030 ASB3922 ASB3925 The Fast SCSI solution from AdvanSys has high performance and affordability built-in. Our ASC3030 is a single-chip, highly integrated Fast SCSI controller designed specifically for interfacing the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus to the SCSI bus. We use a patented architecture utilizing an application specific RISC engine and integrated memory to yield high performance yet cost effective Fast SCSI products. ASC3030 FAST SCSI CHIP Product Highlights All handshakes with the SCSI peripheral devices are managed by an advanced Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) engine. Through PCI bus mastering, the ASC3030 transfers data between the SCSI devices and the main system memory at the maximum possible speed of the PCI bus (bursts to 133 MB/s) with no intervention from the host CPU. Multi-threading capability allows the ASC3030 to process up to 20 data requests simultaneously to minimize SCSI bus idle time. For SCSI-1 devices, there can only be one outstanding request on each device. For SCSI-2 devices with multiple outstanding requests (queuing of multiple commands), the ASC3030 provides an I/O throughput several times that of a single-threaded SCSI chip. FEATURE BENEFITS 128-pin PQFP package Makes for more economical board layout Polarity of SCSI Terminator Enable Allowing for multiple terminator vendors is programmable Power management: the RISC/SCSI Reduce power consumption circuitry clock can be shut off Auto-termination Automatic configuration
