DS280BR820: SAS4 Application Support

Part Number: DS280BR820
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS280MB810, , DS160PR410

Dear Team,

May I know if this part could support SAS4 24Gbps application?

Or do we have any roadmap in the future to support SAS4?

Thank you.

  • Hi Jim,

    I expect the DS280BR820 and DS280MB810 can support SAS3/4 operation.  It will require some SMBus programming to ensure we correctly handle OOB signaling, but I do not see a problem working this out.

    The DS160PR410 is another option. It can work up to 25Gbps.

    These devices are the only devices which could support SAS4 linear equalization at this time.

    Regards,

    Lee
