Introduction

This data sheet provides reference information for the Maxim Enhanced Two-Wire Serial Backplane

Controller, VSC056. It is intended for system designers and software and firmware developers who are

using this device to support enclosure management functions or other related remote I/O expansion tasks.

TheVSC056 is package and power supply compatible with the VSC055. The VSC056 is similar to the

VSC055 in feature and function, except for differences in the reset and clock out functions.

This document assumes that the user is familiar with the two-wire serial interfaces, the programmable I/O

control, and the operation of FC-AL control functions, such as a PBC (port bypass controller), a CRU

(clock recovery unit), and an SDU (signal detect unit). The user may also need to be familiar with Fibre

Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) operation and SCSI Enclosure Services (SES).
