SATA 1:1 Speed Bridge with Sandbox (IPP-SA110A-BR)

IntelliProp: Experts in Memory and Data Storage IP

Select

The IPP-SA110A-BR SATA Speed Bridge provides a robust solution for bridging SATA Generation 1 (1.5Gb/s), Generation 2 (3.0Gb/s), and Generation 3 (6.0Gb/s) power and data. Beyond simple speed adaptation, this IP features a unique 'Sandbox' architecture—a dedicated logic area that allows developers to insert custom hardware algorithms (such as encryption, data filtering, or real-time analytics) directly into the data path without impacting protocol integrity.

Technical Highlights: Automatic Speed Negotiation: Seamlessly bridges hosts and targets regardless of native SATA generation support.

Hardware Sandbox: Provides a transparent 'hook' for custom RTL, enabling inline data manipulation at line speed.

Low Latency Architecture: Optimized for Altera FPGA fabric to ensure minimal impact on IOPS and throughput.

Full Protocol Compliance: Compliant with SATA Revision 3.2 specifications, supporting NCQ and power management f...

Key Features

  • SATA Generation Bridging: Supports seamless speed adaptation between SATA Gen 1 (1.5Gbps), Gen 2 (3.0Gbps), and Gen 3 (6.0Gbps) hosts and targets.
  • Integrated Hardware Sandbox: Features a dedicated, transparent logic area for the insertion of custom RTL (encryption, compression, or data filtering) without altering the SATA protocol.
  • Low Latency Passthrough: Optimized hardware architecture ensures minimal impact on command overhead and data throughput, maintaining high IOPS.
  • Full Protocol Transparency: Supports all mandatory SATA 3.2 features, including NCQ (Native Command Queuing), 48-bit LBA, and power management (Partial/Slumber).
  • Silicon-Proven IP: Heavily tested and verified on Altera Agilex®, Stratix®, and Arria® FPGA families for immediate integration.
  • Independent Clock Domains: Utilizes robust asynchronous FIFOs to manage data transfer between mismatched host and device clock speeds.
  • Automatic Link Negotiation: Smart speed-sensing logic automatically detects and configures the highest supported speed between the host and the drive.
  • Error Handling & Reporting: Comprehensive built-in error detection and status registers for link monitoring and simplified system debugging.
