Data Center Solutions 12 Gbps SAS/SATA Protocol Controller Family for Storage Systems 8/16-Port SPCv and SPCve Controllers Summary Microchip's SPCve and SPCv are part of the highly-integrated 12G SAS and 3G/6G/12G SATA protocol controller family optimized for fabric-attached RAID storage system applications and SAS/SATA HBA applications. This controller family significantly increases total system performance, diagnostics, scalability and manageability. The SPCve and SPCv controllers each provide an efficient and scalable architecture that enables industry-leading system performance. They provide application-programming environments that are compatible with other members of the Tachyon(R) SAS/SATA controller family and Tachyon Fibre Channel controllers, enabling software leverage between controllers and protocols. The controllers provide system designers with end-to-end diagnostics and error handling mechanisms to increase system performance, availability and most importantly, manageability. Unique end-to-end features and algorithms can be achieved from host to Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or SolidState Drive (SSD) by using these controllers in combination with market-leading SAS/SATA expanders, multiplexers and enclosure management solutions.
