The IntelliProp IPP-SS115A-BR SAS Speed Bridge is a silicon-proven IP core designed for high-throughput enterprise storage applications. This bridge facilitates seamless communication between SAS hosts and devices even when operating at different interface speeds.
A standout feature is the integrated 'Sandbox,' which provides developers with full visibility into the frame contents. This 'bump-in-the-wire' architecture allows for the insertion of custom hardware algorithms—such as line-speed encryption, data compression, or proprietary analytics—without disrupting the underlying SAS protocol.
Technical Highlights:
Tri-Mode Support: Fully compliant with SAS-1 (3.0Gb/s), SAS-2 (6.0Gb/s), and SAS-3 (12.0Gb/s) specifications.
Hardware Sandbox: dedicated RTL area for custom logic insertion into the data path with cut-through FIFO architecture for ultra-low latency.
Protocol Transparency: Handles OOB (Out-of-Band) signaling...
