  • Adopted by NASA, proven high reliability
  • Simple transaction interface with Host processor or DMA Engine
  • 32-bit internal data path
  • 4KB FIFO implemented by BlockRAM in transmit and receive paths
  • Low frequency operation
  • - IP Core and PHY clock 150MHz for SATA-III
  • - IP Core clock 75.0MHz and PHY clock 150MHz for SATA-II
  • - IP Core clock 37.5MHz and PHY clock 75MHz for SATA-I
  • CONT primitive support for continue primitive suppression to reduce EMI
  • Support 40bit width PHY implemented by 7-Series GTX
  • Able to evaluate on AMD FPGA boards before purchasing the IP core
  • Support AHCI, Linux boot up from Zynq-7000 device.
  • Host Controller IP (HCTL IP) is available to be provided with SATA-IP core.
  • exFAT & FAT32 file system management without CPU usage (Option)

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.
