Terasic Technologies P0053 SATA/SAS HSMC Daughter Card

Terasic Technologies P0053 SATA/SAS HSMC Daughter Card is designed to provide SATA interface conversion for FPGA platforms that support SAS and SATA solutions. This card is based on the 40nm technology through a high-speed mezzanine connector (HSMC). The card allows accessing storage devices through the SATA/SAS protocols on FPGAs and features four single-channel SATA signal plug connectors, a four-channel SATA/SAS connector, and an ATX-style output power connector for hard drives. Terasic Technologies P0053 SATA/SAS HSMC Daughter Card is an ideal platform for SATA interface conversion and ensures an ideal way to develop SOC solutions for storage applications on the Altera FPGAs.
