The SAS Recorder IP Core provides an ready to use solution for high speed data recording applications. Simple interface guarantees fast time to market solutions.
ARCHITECTURE
Utilizing our SAS IP Core, the recorder can be configured to use 14 ports, depending on your needs. This allows for a flexible solution that can be matched to any need. The recorder can be used for oneoff recordings, or for continues recording with automatic wrap around.
Theoretical max bandwidth is 1.2 GBytes/sec per port, or 4.8 GBytes/sec total. Of course actual performance depends on the capabilities of the attached drives.
We include a FPGA based PHY, or the IP Core can interface to a standard SAS PHY from a 3rd party. The FPGA based PHY is targeted for Xilinx series 7 devices, with GTX and GTH transceivers. Our PHY includes all functions required to bring up the link all the way to 12G.
