SmartDV’s SAS Initiator IP enables high-speed serial communication for storage systems using the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) protocol. Designed for enterprise-class reliability and scalability, it supports multiple lane configurations, robust error handling, and high-throughput data transfers across point-to-point and switched SAS topologies.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. It integrates easily with PHY and protocol layers, making it ideal for storage controllers, host bus adapters, and RAID solutions that demand efficient and compliant SAS initiator functionality.
