The BCM5770/BCM5770R is a highly integrated, multiport SATA-I
controller that has been designed for high performance storage
applications requiring low host CPU utilization and maximum I/O
performance.
The device communicates with the host via a 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X1.0
bus interface. It attaches directly to a maximum of eight SATA-I disk
drives or to backplanes on the target side via a high-performance,
integrated SATA PHY that is capable of driving long-length backplanes.
Additionally, the BCM5770/BCM5770R supports hot-plug capability,
enabling SATA disk drives to be inserted and removed from a storage
rack or server without affecting system operation.
A high-bandwidth host arbiter (1 GB/s) decouples the PCI-X host
interface from the SATA ports, enabling maximum throughput for
workloads demanding sequential I/O performance.
Data from/to the drives are broken into 8-KB data FISes on the SATA
links. The PCIX interface is arbitrated based on a round robin or LRU
algorithm. Data is transferred in 512-byte blocks on the PCIX, thereby
allowing fairness among the data channels.
The BCM5770/BCM5770R provides an interrupt coalescing mechanism
to pace the host interrupts it generates. This allows host software to

batch-process interrupts efficiently. In addition, the BCM5770/
BCM5770R incorporates a mechanism to reduce IO reads by
periodically DMAing the BCM5770/BCM5770R status block into host
memory. Both of these mechanisms vastly reduce the host CPU
utilization by limiting the amount of adaptor accesses that must be
performed.
A Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specification 1.0 compliant interface
is available to connect the BCM5770/BCM5770R to an external flash/
ROM up to 128 KB. Three general-purpose I/O pins with tri-state
capability are available and can be specially configured to drive LEDs.

external enclosure management device or with a serial EEPROM.
On-board power supply regulators are available that generate local 2.5V
and 1.2V rails, allowing the entire chip to run from a single external 3.3V
power source.
Built-in PRBS or pseudo-random bit sequence test generators/checkers
are available per port for PHY testing without the use of additional
hardware or drives. These are programmed from the in-band PCI
interface.
