Broadcom provides the building blocks for storage storage applications solutions that help ustomers understand, prioritize, store and protect Utilize PCIe attached SSDs critical data. with confidence of industry leadingdevice management and The Broadcom 12Gb/s SAS portfolio includes MegaRAID controller cards, error recovery Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), Advanced Software Options, and SAS storage ICs, including RAID-on- Chip (ROCs), I/O controllers and expanders. Key Features Multi-core processor Overview Tri-Mode (SAS/SATA/PCIe) The SA3616W is the seventh generation of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) device ports controllers based on the industry-leading Fusion-MPT (Message 16 port SAS+SATA controller PassingTechnology) architecture. The SAS3616W host interface supports Supports 12, 6, and 3Gb/s SAS 16 PCI Express (PCIe) lanes and complies with the PCIe 3.1 specification and 6, 3Gb/s SATA data transfer that extends the PCIe data rates up to 8.0 GT/s per lane, and is backwards rates compatible to the 5.0/2.5 GT/s. It also incorporates End-to-End CRC Spread spectrum clocking (ECRC) with Advanced Error Reporting (AER) in lane and polarity reversal, power management, hot plug support, and MSI/ MSI-X and legacy interrupt Supports SSP, SMP, STP and generation. SATA protocols SAS/SATA device support Supports narrow and wide ports T-10 End to End Data Protection (EEDP) T-10 Optical Support SAS3616W Tri-Mode I/O Controller (IOC)Product Brief SFF-8680 Tri-Mode Universal Bay Topology 8680 Connectors Key Features (cont) NVMe SSD SAS 2.1 power management SAS3616W Supports up to 2,000 SAS/ SATA devices SATA/SAS SSD Supports DataBolt bandwidth aggregation technology SATA/SAS HDD Up to 16 PCIe ports allow for 4 x4 ports, 8 x2 ports or 16 x1 ports configurations 16 Bay Mid-plane Separate Refclk Independent SSC (SRIS) Broadcom Tri-Mode SerDes Technology enables seamless operation of PCIe application layer supports PCIe, SAS, or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. The introduction NVMe of PCIe devices executing NVMe to the existing SAS/SATA infrastructure makes industry standard hot-pluggable drive bays even more versatile. Up to 16 PCIe devices behind a The sixteen-port Tri-Mode device interface provides SAS data transfer switch supported rates of 12, 6, and 3Gb/s per lane, or SATA at 6 and 3Gb/s data transfer PCIe 3.1 Host Interface rates per lane, or PCIe data transfer rates of 8, 5, and 2.5 Gb/s. The device Supports x16, x8, x4, x2 PCIe automatically negotiates between the speeds and protocols. T-10 Data lanes at a transfer rate up to Protection Model (T-10 End to End Data Protection (EEDP) for early 8.0 GT/s per lane, full duplex detection of and recovery from data corruption, and Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for EMI reduction are supported. Additional features include Lane and polarity reversal SAS 2.1 power management and DataBolt Technology allowing users to Supports End-to-End CRC take advantage of 12Gb/s speeds while utilizing existing 6Gb/s drives and (ECRC) and Advanced Error backplanes. Reporting (AER) Variable PCIe bandwidth The SAS3616W supports up to 16 direct attached PCIe devices and negotiation complies with PCIe 3.1 specifications. The device supports PCIe Dynamic Power allocation (DPA), ECRC, and AER with compatible devices. Advanced power management support The SAS3616W is ideal for the host or drive side connect for external Slumber and partial power storage controllers requiring a SAS/SATA interface. The SAS3616W can mode support for SAS/SATA support up to 2,000 SAS or SATA devices and 8,000 outstanding IOs devices without external RAM and can achieve over 1 million IOs per second. Programmable SAS link power down Broadcom provides a complete suite of industry standard operating system Variable PCIe bandwidth drivers. Broadcom also supports Virtual Operating Systems with device negotiation emulation and para-virtualization.
