Overview

The Synopsys IP solution for Serial ATA (SATA) provides the necessary logic to implement and verify designs using the SATA interface to mass storage. The complete, integrated solution is silicon-proven and includes a comprehensive suite of configurable digital controllers, high-speed mixed-
signal PHYs, and verification IP. By providing a complete solution from a single IP vendor, Synopsys lowers integration risk by ensuring that all the IP functions work together seamlessly. Synopsys IP for SATA provides designers with a high-performance IP solution that is extremely low in power, area, and latency. The IP has gone through extensive in-house and third-party interoperability testing with products shipping in volume production. As a leading supplier of SATA IP, Synopsys is focused on delivering high-quality IP. The strict quality measures, combined with an expert technical support team, enable designers to accelerate time-to-market and reduce integration risk for next-generation mass storage applications.
