Microchip Technology, Inc. SmartROC 3200e 16x16 Tri-mode RAID Controller PM8273

Description
The Microchip SmartROC 3200e 16x16 RAID-on-Chip controller is the industry's most versatile, fully-featured, and secure RAID-enabled NVMe/SAS/SATA server storage performance solution. This controller offers up to x16 PCIe Gen 4 connectivity to the host CPU, 16 storage lanes, 72-bit DDR4 of memory, new security features, and advanced manageability through industry-standard interfaces. This SmartROC 3200 controller variant also delivers the industry's only RAID-on-Chip controller with controller-based encryption for PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSDs, SAS-4 media, and SATA media. Additional Features Tri-Mode Support Automatic PCIe Gen 4, SAS-4, and SATA detection and link speed negotiation to enable universal bay architectures Various RAID, HBA, or transparent modes selectable per drive NVMe Storage Management Integrated Switchtec PCIe Gen 2 (5 GT/s), Gen 3 (8 GT/s) and Gen 4 (16 GT/s) Switch Low latency to NVMe targets in native or RAID modes PCIe error containment (including downstream port containment, upstream error containment, completion timeout synthesis and poisoned TLP blocking) 16 lanes of NVMe media support, down to ×1 bifurcation 16-lane host support SAS Storage Management Each PHY supports 24G SAS-4 with up to 2.4 Gbps bandwidth DCM for near 100% efficient bandwidth aggregation for all SAS/SATA drive rates over SAS-4 links Performance >3.6M 4K RR IOPs and up to 26 GBps bandwidth Smart Storage Solutions Software Driver and unified management utilities for all major operating systems maxView GUI and ARCCONF CLI for management UEFI pre-boot with GUI and CLI support Autonomous event monitor Third-party plugins, including vSphere and OpenStack Security and Data Protection Supports all RAID levels (0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60) Hardware root-of-trust Secure Boot and Secure Update Hardware assist for error recovery Secure Key Encryption Key (KEK) Management FIPS 140-2, Levels 1–3 certifiable SAS and NVMe encryption (IEEE 1619-compliant AES-XTS for data-at-rest encryption)
