SiI0680A PCI to IDE/ATA
Data Sheet
Silicon Image, Inc.
1. Overview
The Silicon Image PCI-680 is a single-chip solution for a PCI to ATA controller. It accepts host commands through the PCI
bus, processes them and transfers data between the host and ATA devices. It can be used to control two independent ATA
channels: primary and secondary. Each channel has its own ATA bus and will support up to two ATA/ATAPI devices for a
maximum of four devices. The PCI-680 supports up to a 133 MB/sec transfer rate exceeding that which is specified in
ATA/ATAPI-6.
This controller provides OEMs with an enabling solution for interfacing to storage media such as hard disk drives. For personal
computer manufacturers, using the PCI-680 will differentiate them from the competition by allowing for the addition of more
drives and incorporating the newest drive standards, all at a lower cost. For embedded applications, the SiI 0680A provides a
high performance and cost effective interface for storage and ATAPI device support.
1.1 Key Benefits
The Silicon Image PCI-680 stand-alone Ultra ATA/133 PCI to ATA host controller is the perfect single-chip solution for designs
based on chipsets without an integrated ATA host controller, or designs which need to expand the number of ATA channels to
accommodate the growing number of storage peripherals with ATA interface.
The PCI-680 comes complete with drivers for Windows 98, Windows Millennium, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows
XP and Linux. It is also fully operational and compatible with default IDE drivers from Microsoft.
Comprehensive RAID (0, 1, 0+1) software support is also provided for Windows 98, NT 4.0, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP.
