The SMS SATA PHY IP is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of Serial ATA 1.0a and Serial ATA II specifications, accommodating both 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps data rates. Its architecture is designed for integration in system-on-chip (SoC) applications, optimized for low power and small-area implementations.
Key features include a fully integrated digital Out of Band (OOB) processor, which supports advanced signaling like K28.5 COMMA recognition and embedded clock synthesis. These features are essential for high-speed data throughput and reliable communication in storage solutions.
Furthermore, the PHY’s support for multiple process nodes makes it adaptable for diverse manufacturing technologies. It also offers interoperability with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), expanding its utility in enterprise storage systems. This flexibility, combined with its energy-efficient profile, positions the SMS SATA PHY IP as a premium choice for cutting-edge storage interfaces.
