NVMe Gen 5 Controller

Integrates MAC IP to a broad range of PHY and SerDes IP

Overview

The NVMe Gen 5 controller is essential in modern flash storage devices, notably SSDs, supplanting older protocols such as AHCI. It significantly boosts performance, scalability, and feature capabilities compared to earlier NVMe generations (Gen1-4). Leveraging PCIe Gen5 technology, it enables higher data transfer rates and enhanced efficiency, marking a substantial advancement in storage technology.

Product Datasheet

Features

Performance: It allows for deeper command queues, enhancing parallelism and enabling more efficient data processing under heavy workloads. It provides better support for multiple queues and NVMe namespaces, optimising data flow and minimising latency.

Interface: Supports up to 32 GT/s per lane, doubling the bandwidth compared to PCIe Gen4, resulting in higher data transfer rates and improved overall system performance.

Power Efficiency: It supports deep power-saving modes when the device is idle or lightly loaded, reducing energy consumption and heat generation.

Data Protection: Enhanced error reporting and handling mechanisms ensure data integrity and reliability.
