steelvine ? device bridge serial ata (sata) to parallel ata device bridge the sii3811 is a single-chip serial ata to parallel ata device bridge solution that com- bines the transport, link, and phy layers of serial ata with a parallel ata interface. the sii3811 enables manufacturers to connect widely available, low-cost parallel ata devices like dvd/cd-rom and hard disk drives to industry standard serial ata controllers such as those available in the pc?s south bridge. as a member of silicon image?s steelvine family of serial ata products, the sii3811 has undergone extensive interoperability testing and provides the industry?s most robust device bridge solution. applications ? disk drives ? storage systems ? pc motherboards ? dvd and cable box system boards ? cd/dvd rw drives key features ? serial ata to parallel ata bridge ? supports ata queued commands ? serial ata, 1.5gbps ? small 64-pin package ? low power product brief the sii3811 supports serial ata transfer rates of 1.5 gbps (150 mb/s) with its on-board serializer / de-serializer. it features an ultra ata/133 parallel ata port to interface with devices such as hard disk and dvd/cd-rom drives. the sii3811 accepts serial ata commands from the hosts serial ata interface, decodes the commands and converts them to parallel ata device commands. device responses through the parallel ata bus are deciphered, processed, converted to the serial ata protocol and sent to the sata host controller. at the physical layer, the sii3811 leverages much of the circuit innovation of silicon image's propri- etary reduced overhead multi-layer serial link (msl?) architecture, pioneered and proven through the companys market-leading hdmi and sata 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. system diagram - sii3811 in a pc sii3811 system diagram - sii3811 in an external device
