Product Summary
The fas216-pc4 is a Fast Architecture SCSI Processor. The fas216-pc4 chips are part of the QLogic SCSI processor family with features designed to facilitate SCSI-2 support (FAS216 and FAS236) and SCSI-3 support (FAS216U and FAS236U). The fas216-pc4 can transfer synchronous data at 10 Mbytes/sec. The FAS216U and FAS236U can transfer data at 20 Mbytes/sec with SCAM support. The normal 5-Mbytes/sec transfer rate and the fast 10-Mbytes/sec transfer rate (FAS216U and FAS236U) are supported on-chip by setting the FASTSCSI bit (Configuration 3 register bit 4). Asynchronous transfers up to 7 Mbytes/sec are also supported. The fas216-pc4 is firmware and pin compatible with the FAS216 and FAS236 chips, respectively. Figure 1 shows the FAS2x6 block diagram.
