SCSI technology enters the seventh generation
LSI Logic has announced commercial availability of the LSI53C1030 Ultra320 SCSI controller chip and the start of a worldwide product sampling and demo program featuring LSI Logic's Ultra320 products.
"Designers require cost-effective, single-chip custom silicon for PCI Express bridging applications", said Yousef Khalilollahi, Director RapidChip Marketing, LSI Logic.
"LSI Logic's RapidChip IntegratorQS RC11Si204 not only offers an elegant single-chip, low cost PCI Express solution, but also has significant room for additional system integration".
"For example, even after the PCI Express x1 link and transaction layer protocol implementation, more than 300,000 ASIC gates are still available".
LSI Logic's RC11Si204 RapidChip IntegratorQS slice offers serdes PHY compliance with leading industry standard serial protocols, making the new slice an ideal, low-risk option for peripheral developers and, more specifically, developers embedding PC architecture platforms in communications and storage applications.
This includes serial protocol bridging between PCI Express and Serial RIO as well as legacy parallel buses for existing microprocessors and digital signal processors (DSPs) that do not have built-in support for today's leading protocols - a critical capability for new communications equipment.
LSI Logic also provides a complete array of solutions for PCI Express physical, datalink and transaction layer cores.
These PCI Express cores provide a ready-made solution to customers, allowing them to focus on value-added portions of their design.
LSI Logic's RC11Si204 is available for designs now.
Pricing starts at $9.90 in quantities above 250,000 units/year.
