based on the proven architecture of the industry-leading sii 3112 satalink tm pci host controller, the sii 3512 is a single-chip pci to 2-port serial ata host controller. the chip is redesigned to fit in a smaller package (128 pin tqfp, 14x14mm) and to comply to the pci 2.3 specification. its compact size makes it ideal for space constrained applications. like its predecessor, the chip is fully serial ata 1.0- compliant and is interoperable with all serial ata devices in the market. based on a 32-bit/66 mhz pci interface, the sii 3512 pro vides support for two independent serial ata devices and may be incorporated into motherboard or pci add-in card designs. users of the sii 3112 can easily migrate to the sii 3512 because its driver structure is similar to that of the sii 3112. the sii 3512 is the best price/ performance serial ata device that is both flexible and robust for today's demanding storage applications. when connectivity to more than two devices is required, multiple sii 3512 de vices may be used in the same application. with the sii 3512, silicon image provides customers with drivers for the windows, linux and netware operating systems for both raid and non-raid operations. software raid 0 (striping) and raid 1 (mirroring) functions are supported through silicon image's sataraid tm raid management software utility. the sii 3512 is designed for optimum performance and price. it leverages much of the circuit innovation at the physical layer of silicon image's proprietary reduced overhead multi-layer serial link (msl tm ) architecture, pioneered and proven through its panellink ? products and extended to the satalink and fibre channel serdes storage products. msl technology is a multi-layer approach to providing cost-effective, multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions on a single chip for high-bandwidth applications. target applications ? pc motherboards ? pc add-in cards ? server motherboards ? host bus adapters ? raid subsystems ? embedded applications ch. 0 pci bus 266 mb/s motherboard sii 3512 pci-to-serial ata host controller 32-bit 33/66 mhz 1.5 gbps ch. 1 1.5 gbps ? ? serial ata hard disk drive serial ata hard disk drive si i 3512 satalink 2-port pci host controller
