SmartDV’s SGPIO (Serial General Purpose Input/Output) Initiator IP enables efficient communication between host controllers and peripheral devices in storage and backplane applications. Aligned with industry-standard SGPIO protocols, it provides a streamlined interface for managing drive activity, status, and control signals in SAS and SATA-based systems.

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 is ideal for designs requiring compact footprint and reliable signaling in multi-drive environments.
