Synopsys' DesignWare® SATA PHY IP is designed for use in system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. The DesignWare SATA PHY IP integrates seamlessly with Synopsys' DesignWare SATA Host & Device Controller IP core to reduce design time and achieve first-pass silicon success. Based on Synopsys' proven high-speed SERDES technology, the DesignWare SATA PHY IP provides a cost-effective and low power solution that is designed to meet the needs of today's SATA designs. Synopsys' SATA PHY IP is compliant with the SATA base specification and substantially exceeds the electrical specifications in such key performance areas as jitter and receive sensitivity. The SATA PHY is part of the complete DesignWare IP solution for SATA including SATA Host, Device Controller and SATA verification IP. The solution has passed the SATA-IO Building Block Interoperability Testing, the golden standard of compliance to the SATA Specification.
