The OXUFS936DS is a Universal Interface (eSATA, FireWire800, FireWire400,

USB2.0) to dual SATA storage controller with integrated hardware RAID

engine.

Delivering

best-in-class

performance

across

all

interfaces,

the

OXUFS936DS enables a range of external storage applications, including dual

disk RAID configurations.

The intgrated hardware RAID controller supports a range of RAID modes which

can deliver maximum performance (RAID 0) or

maximum data protection

(RAID 1).

Integrating an eSATA device port, IEEE1394b link, USB2.0 device and dual

SATA host controllers the OXUFS936DS requires a minimal number of external

components and reduces total system BOM cost.

Embedded ARM Processor

By managing the data flow, the on-chip ARM7 processor enables a whole new

series of standalone consumer electronic product 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.

Fast read and write 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, button notification or GPIO control

applications.

FireWire

The embedded 1394 PHY and link layer supports both FireWire800 and

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 interfaces 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.
