Overview

SATA Controller IP Core is ideal for use in a variety of storage application which require high speed data transfer, cost, scalability and features extensibility such as embedded storage system, RAID controller and High speed and large capacity data acquisition system.

SATA Controller IP Core is a link and transport layer realization of the SATA interface. IP Core is intended for XILINX FPGA based system connectivity with any devices by SATA I and SATA II interfaces.

SATA physical layer was realized by Xilinx FPGA RocketIO Gigabit Transceiver primitives.

Image quality could be assessed by the following example: Downscaled (256×256) original image from (512×512).

Key features

  • Data transfer speed is compliant with SATA 1.5-Gbps and 3.0-Gbps industry specifications
  • Both Host and Device modes are supported
  • Compact design with a resource usage of 1200 Slice LUTs
  • Synchronous design for easy integration
  • Test application provided for IP Core evaluation on the Xilinx ML505/506 board

What’s Included?

The IP Core is available as either a netlist or VHDL source code. It includes everything required for easy implementation in customer projects. Both host and device IP Core configurations are available for licensing.

The delivery package includes:

  • Synthesized netlist for the target FPGA device
  • Test application running on the Xilinx ML505/506 board
  • Place-and-route script
  • Detailed specification and implementation guide.

An Effective way to drastically reduce bug fixing time in SoC Verification

Many times we are not aware of very useful EDA tool options which are already available. Even if such options are very well documented, we don't look at them and try them. But some options are very useful and if you know them, it makes job of design engineer and/or verification engineer very easy. Here, I am going to talk about one very powerful and useful VSIM option of QuestaSim. It is VCDSTIM option of VSIM.

Designing Around an Encrypted Netlist: Is The Pain Worth the Gain?

Oftentimes, in order to save on the cost of IP, a company will select an encrypted netlist as the deliverable instead of the RTL source code. This is especially common among companies looking to develop in FPGA devices where they can often get the necessary IP from their FPGA vendor.

STBus complex interconnect design and verification for a HDTV SoC

To support High Definition Television (HDTV) application, the System on Chip (SoC) presented in this paper has to support multiple and concurrent internal processes. Most of these operations read data from memory, process them and store the resulting data into memory. Each functional unit of the system is responsible for a specific data processing, but all the data are stored in the same shared external memories.
