IntelliProp SATA Bridge Platform (IPP-SA143A-BR)
Block Diagram
Overview
The IntelliProp IPP-SA143A-BR, SATA Bridge Platform is an extensible IP Core which encompasses a SATA Device core, a SATA Host core, along with an embedded processor to handle bridging between these cores including system management interfaces outside of SATA scope. The bridging interface allows for data and command manipulation along with non-host initiated command generation and processing to the attached SATA device. The negotiated transfer rate of each SATA connection is independent of the other SATA connections allowing SATA 1.5Gb/s, SATA 3Gb/s, and SATA 6Gb/s hosts and devices to communicate at their maximum rates, or lower rates to minimize power consumption. Applications for the IPP-SA143A-BR include: controlling the flow of commands reorder of queues, for example write blocking; Encryption Bridge, Compression of data whereby less space is utilized on the drive; Allows for SATA-ATA drives to seamlessly represent themselves as SATA-ATAPI devices.
Features
- Independent host and device SATA speed negotiation.
- Software extensible bridging platformCommand set support for Windows, along with standard Linux discovery and communication.
- Boot Device Capable.
- Vendor Specific Command support (managed by firmware, supported in hardware).
- Optional: AES-XTS Encryption; and Hardware Datapath
