SAS Initiator Core
Overview
The IntelliProp IPC-SS105A-HI SAS Initiator Core is an industry standard Serial-SCSI (SAS) initiator core that enables host designs to connect to high throughput SAS storage devices at 3.0, 6.0 and 12.0 Gbps. The protocol interface is compliant to the SAS specification as defined by the ANSI T10 Organization. As with all IntelliProp cores, the IPC-SS105A-HI core is fully verified in psuedo-random simulation.
