OXUFS946DSE Dual SATA RAID Controller with Encryption
OXUFS946DSE Highlights
The OXUFS946DSE is a high-performance dual storage controller bridging between
eSATA* or FireWire800 or USB2.0 interface and 2 SATA hard disks.
General Features
o High-performance, dual SATA
RAID storage controller with
Encryption
Delivering best-in-class performance across all interfaces, the OXUFS946DSE enables a
range of secure and non-secure personal storage applications, including dual disk RAID
configurations.
Key Features
o High-performance, dual SATA
RAID storage controller with
Encryption
o Hardware RAID engine supporting
RAID 0, 1 and spanning
o Integrated dual port SATA II
compliant core and PHY
- Supports 3.0Gbps and 1.5Gbps
interfaces
- Supports Interface Power
Management (IPM)
o Integrated 480Mbps USB2.0 high-
speed core and PHY
The integrated hardware RAID engine supports a range of RAID modes which deliver
maximum performance (RAID 0), maximum data protection (RAID 1) or maximum
capacity (spanning).
o Market proven 1394b PHY
interface and Link Layer with
industry leading performance
- Supports PHY power-down
modes
o Integrated eSATA core and PHY
o Integrated hardware cipher engine
supporting AES-128 encryption /
decryption:
The integrated cipher engine provides advanced encryption and decryption capabilities in
hardware and enables OEMs to rapidly deploy full disk encryption solutions, providing
end users with peace-of-mind that their private content is safe and secure in the event of
theft or loss.
Integrating a USB2.0 device, a FireWire800 link layer, eSATA* device and a 2-port
SATA host controller, the OXUFS946DSE enables designers to create products with a
minimal number of external components and a low cost BOM.
- Support for AES-ECB and AES-
CBC algorithms
Embedded ARM Processor
- Support for AES-XTS as defined
by IEEE P1619
- Host software and driver
supplied for password
application for PC and Mac
o SPI interface for serial flash
o 19 GPIOs allow easy product
customization
o Support for USB Human Interface
Device (HID)
By managing the data flow, the on-chip ARM7 processor enables a whole new series of
standalone consumer electronic products to be developed in a simple C/C++
programming environment.
USB2.0
The embedded USB2.0 PHY supports both full and high speed, using bulk-only transport
Mass Storage Class device protocol. Its fast transfers ensure that the maximum possible
host performance is maintained. No additional USB host drivers are required for either
Windows® or Mac® operating systems for standard storage applications.
o Support for button push apps
FireWire
The embedded 1394 PHY and link layer supports FW800, is backward compatible with
FireWire400, and complies with the 1394-1995 and 1394-2000 specifications. No
additional 1394 host drivers are required for either Windows or Mac operating systems
for standard storage applications.
SATA Interface
The embedded 3GHz SATA host controller supports the latest revisions of the SATA II
specifications. In addition the eSATA* device port also supports the Gen2m interface.
Interface speeds of 3GHz and 1.5GHz deliver maximum performance with minimum
latency for external SATA storage.
