SATA Host Controller IP

Overview

SATA HOST CONTROLLER core is compliant with SATA version 3.5 specification. Through its compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. SATA HOST CONTROLLER IIP is proven in FPGA environment. The host interface of the SATA can be simple interface or can be AMBA APB, AMBA AHB, AMBA AXI, VCI, OCP, Avalon, PLB, Tilelink, Wishbone or Custom protocol.
