DATA INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY Improves the integrity of the clock signal. Used with DT to attain 320 MB/s transfer rate. RELIABILITY Enables skew compensation and signal tuning such as adaptive active filtering (AAF) to enhance signal integrity and system performance. RELIABILITY Minimizes errors and retries when relative to clock signal transferring data. DATA INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY Improves data protection for the parallel SCSI bus by creating check bytes and comparing it to the received data. PERFORMANCE Query targets to determine capabilities, like maximum transfer rate, system configuration, etc. PERFORMANCE Minimizes overhead and enables both (packetized transfers) command and data transmission at 320MB/s speeds. DATA INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY Compensates with cutback for signal loss during data transmission resulting in a better signal. PROTECTS CUSTOMER'S SCSI INVESTMENT Supports legacy systems running at transfer rates and protocols defined by prior SCSI interface standards. Customer Benefit Training pattern Skew compensation of data signals Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) Domain validation Information unit transfer Transmitter pre-compensation Backward compatibility Optional Features Maxtor Adaptive Active Filtering (AAF) DATA INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY A closed loop method of improving received signals. It is capable of adjusting to changes in system conditions (e. g. adding a new device to the bus, changing electrical characteristics of the cable plant, etc). PERFORMANCE Reduces arbitration overhead hence increasing system performance. PERFORMANCE Guarantees that all devices have an opportunity to access the bus. PERFORMANCE Signals the end of data transmission.
