OXUFS936QSE, Universal Interface to Quad SATA RAID Controller
Highlights
The OXUFS936QSE is
a
universal interface (eSATA, FireWire800,
FireWire400, USB2.0) to quad SATA storage controller. Delivering industry
leading performance across all interfaces, the OXUFS936QSE supports a range
of 4-disk and 3-disk RAID configurations and provides a platform for OEMs to
develop a range of external storage systems.
General Features
o High performance Universal Interface
(FireWire800, FireWire400, USB2.0 or
eSATA) to SATA storage controller
Key Features
The intgrated high-performance hardware RAID engine supports a range of
RAID modes which can deliver maximum performance (RAID 0) or the optimal
combination of performance and data protection via RAID 5, 3 or 10.
o High performance Universal Interface
(FireWire800, FireWire400, USB2.0 or
eSATA) to SATA storage controller
o Integrated hardware RAID controller
supporting:
With integrated eSATA device port, IEEE1394b link, USB2.0 device and quad
SATA host controllers the OXUFS936QSE requires a mimum number of
external components and reduces total system cost.
- Disk striping with distributed parity
(RAID 5)
- Disk striping with dedicated parity
(RAID 3)
- Disk striping (RAID0) for maximum
performance
- Disk striping with mirroring (RAID
10)
- Disk spanning for large capacity
single volume
Embedded ARM Processor
By managing the data flow, the on-chip ARM7 processor enables a whole new
series of standalone consumer electronic product to be developed in a simple
C/C++ programming environment.
USB2.0
- Support for hot spare disk
o Supports SATA II Gen2m specification
and 3.0Gbps and 1.5Gbps interfaces
o Hardware RAID rebuild engine (up to
HDD transfer rate)
o Sustained transfer rates in excess of
240Mbytes/s (limited only by HDD or
interface transfer rates)
o 48 GPIO (24 dedicated, 24
multiplexed)
o Integrated PWMs and Fan-Tacho
control
The embedded USB2.0 PHY supports both full and high speed, using bulk-only
transport Mass Storage Class device protocol. Fast read and write transfers
ensure that the maximum possible host performance is maintained.
No additional USB host drivers are required, for either Windows® or Mac®
operating systems, for standard storage, button notification or GPIO control
applications.
FireWire
o Flexible RAID User Agent (LED &
LCD support)
o USB mass-storage class compliant
The embedded 1394 PHY and link layer supports both FireWire800 and
FireWire400 and complies with the 1394-1995 and 1394-2000 specifications.
No additional 1394 host drivers are required, for either Windows® or Mac®
operating systems for standard storage applications.
SATA Interface
The embedded 3GHz SATA host interfaces supports the latest revisions of the
SATA II specifications. In addition the eSATA device port also supports the
Gen2m interface. Interface speeds of 3GHz and 1.5GHz deliver maximum
performance with minimum latency for external SATA storage.
