IntelliProp NVMe-to-SATA Bridge (IPP-NV186A-BR)

IntelliProp: Experts in Memory and Data Storage IP

Select

The IPP-NV186A-BR provides a seamless bridge between a PCIe/NVMe host interface and a Serial-ATA (SATA) target. This core allows an Altera FPGA to appear as a standard NVMe drive to the host system while managing all the complex command translation and protocol mapping required to talk to standard SATA storage. By utilizing hardware-automated translation, it eliminates the need for complex software stacks or custom drivers, allowing for a "plug-and-play" experience when integrating legacy SATA storage into modern, NVMe-centric architectures.

Key Features

  • Transparency: Fully transparent to the host; utilizes native NVMe drivers.
  • Protocol Mapping: Automated translation of NVMe Command Sets to SATA Task Files.
  • Performance: Supports high-efficiency DMA for maximum data throughput between interfaces.
  • Compliance: Fully compliant with NVMe 1.3/1.4 and SATA 3.3 specifications.
  • Scalability: Supports multiple NVMe queues and deep command sets.
  • Error Handling: Integrated hardware error detection and reporting for both NVMe and SATA protocol layers.
