the sii 3611 is a single-chip serial ata-to-parallel ata device bridge solution. combining the transport, link and phy layers of serial ata with a parallel ata interface, the sii 3611 enables manufacturers to take advantage of serial ata connectivity while using low-cost, widely available parallel ata controllers. as a member of silicon image's satalink tm family of serial ata products, the sii 3611 has undergone extensive interoperability testing and offers the industry's most robust device bridge solution available. the sii 3611 supports the serial ata generation 1 transfer rate of 1.5 gbps (150 mb/s) with its on-board serializer/deserializer and is compatible with ultra ata/133. the sii 3611 features a standard ata port that can interface to parallel ata devices such as hard disks and cdroms. it accepts serial ata commands from the host's serial ata interface, decodes the commands and converts them to parallel ata device commands. through the parallel ata bus, responses from the device are deciphered, processed, converted to serial ata protocol and sent to the host. the sii 3611 leverages much of the circuit innovation at the physical layer of silicon image's proprietary reduced overhead multi-layer serial link (msl tm ) architecture, pioneered and proven through the company's market-leading panellink products. msl technology is a multi-layer approach to providing robust, cost-effective, multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions on a single chip for high-bandwidth applications. sata applications disk drives storage systems sata interface sata transport, link & phy (si i 3610, si i 3112) rx tx host (motherboard, add-in card, storage system controller) host controller device (disk drive, storage system) si i 3611 sata-to-pata device bridge disk controller ? parallel data parallel data the si i 3611 satalink device bridge
