PCIe IO Controller (IOC)
Broadcom Storage
Broadcom products serve four primary target markets: wireless
communications, wired infrastructure, enterprise storage, and industrial.
Broadcom Storage offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of storage
solutions, backed by decades of experience and trusted by the world’s
leading server and storage suppliers. Broadcom provides the building
blocks for storage solutions that help customers understand, prioritize,
store and protect critical data. The 12 Gb/s SAS portfolio includes Avago
MegaRAID® controller cards, Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), Advanced
Software Options, Syncro® shared DAS solutions and SAS storage ICs,
including RAID-on-Chip (ROCs), I/O controllers and expanders.
Applications
• Direct Attached SAS/SATA/PCIe
controller solutions for server and
storage applications
• Utilize PCIe attached SSDs with
confidence of industry leading de-
vicemanagement and error recovery
Overview
The Avago SAS3416 is the sixth generation of Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) controllers based on the industry-leading Fusion-MPT (Message
PassingTechnology) architecture. The SAS3416 host interface supports 8
PCI Express (PCIe) lanes and complies with the PCIe 3.1 specification that
extends the PCIe data rates up to 8.0 GT/s per lane, and is backwards
compatible to the 5.0/2.5 GT/s. It also incorporates End-to-End CRC
(ECRC) with Advanced Error Reporting (AER) lane and polarity reversal,
power management, hot plug support, and MSI/ MSI-X and legacy interrupt
generation.
Key Features
• Integrated MegaRAID® support

Avago Tri-Mode SerDes Technology enables seamless operation of PCIe,
SAS, or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. The introduction of
PCIe devices executing NVMe command sets to the existing SAS/SATA
infrastructure makes industry standard hot-pluggable drive bays even more
versatile. The eight-port Tri-Mode device interface provides SAS data
transfer rates of 12, 6, and 3Gb/s per lane, or SATA at 6 and 3Gb/s data
transfer rates per lane, or PCIe data transfer rates of 8, 5, and 2.5 Gb/s. The
device automatically negotiates between the speeds and protocols. T-10
Data Protection Model (T-10 End to End Data Protection (EEDP) for early
detection of and recovery from data corruption, and Spread Spectrum
Clocking (SSC) for EMI reduction are supported. Additional features include
SAS 2.1 power management and DataBolt Technology allowing users to
take advantage of 12Gb/s speeds while utilizing existing 6Gb/s drives and
backplanes.
The SAS3416 supports up to 4 direct attached PCIe devices and complies
with PCIe 3.1 specifications, PCIe Dynamic Power allocation (DPA), ECRC,
and AER with compatible devices. The device also supports NVMe over
over PCIe to attached PCIe devices.
The SAS3416 is ideal for the host or drive side connect for external storage
controllers requiring a SAS/SATA interface. It can support up to 2,000 SAS
or SATA devices and 8,000 outstanding IOs without external RAM and can
achieve over 1 million IOs per second.
Broadcom provides a complete suite of industry standard operating
system drivers. Avago also supports Virtual Operating Systems with device
emulation and para-virtualization.
