- Supports auto speed negotiation and single speed locking
- Industry standard Application Host Controller Interface (AHCI) specification set by Intel Corporation (v. 1.3.1)
- Data Interface through DMA engine (scatter/gather)
- Supports either SerDes, PIPE, or SAPIS interface
- Synchronous design for easy integration
- Synthesizable Verilog design
- Power Modes (partial/slumber)
- Supports DEVSLP
- Built in Self-Test
- Optional AES-XTS Encryption (IPC-SA156A-1-HI)
Applications
- The IPC-SA156A-HI is available for integration into FPGA and host ASIC designs to provide an industry compliant SATA interface. Target applications for the IPC-SA156A-HI core include:
- Enterprise storage interconnect
- High speed data acquisition
