Quantum DLT 8000 Tape System 3-9
Table 3–4 SCSI Bus Timing Values (continued)
Timing Description Value Description
Bus Settle Delay 400 ns Minimum time to wait for the bus to settle after
changing certain control signals as called out in the
protocol definitions.
Cable Skew Delay 10 ns Maximum difference in propagation time allowed
between any two SCSI bus signals measured between
any two SCSI devices.
Data Release Delay 400 ns Maximum time for an initiator to release the DATA BUS
signals following the transition of the I/O signal from
false to true.
Deskew Delay 45 ns Minimum time required to wait for all signals (especially
data signals) to stabilize at their correct, final value after
changing.
Disconnection Delay 200 µs Minimum time that a drive waits after releasing BSY
before participating in an ARBITRATION when honoring a
DISCONNECT message from the initiator.
Hold Time 45 ns Minimum time added between the assertion of REQ or
ACK and changing the data lines to provide hold time in
the initiator or drive while using standard (slow)
synchronous data transfers.
Negation Period 90 ns Minimum time that a drive negates REQ while using
synchronous data transfers; also, the minimum time than
an initiator negates ACK while using synchronous data
transfers.

Power-On to Selection
10 s
1 Recommended maximum time from power application
until a drive is able to respond with appropriate status
and sense data to the TEST UNIT READY, INQUIRY, and
REQUEST SENSE commands.
Reset to Selection
Time
250
ms
1
Recommended maximum time after a hard RESET
condition until a drive is able to respond with
appropriate status and sense data to the TEST UNIT
READY, INQUIRY, and REQUEST SENSE commands.
Reset Hold Time 25 µs Minimum time for which RST is asserted; there is no
maximum time.
Selection Abort Time 200 µs Maximum time that a drive (or initiator) takes from its
most recent detection of being selected (or reselected)
until asserting a BSY response.
Selection Time-out
Delay
250
ms
1
Recommended minimum time a SCSI device should wait
for a BSY response during SELECTION or RESELECTION
before starting the time-out procedure.
