Texas Instruments DS320-SLIMSAS-EVM Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments DS320-SLIMSAS-EVM Evaluation Module is a PCI-Express® 5.0 x16 to two x8 SlimSAS (SFF-8654) adapter. The DS320-SLIMSAS-EVM allows the DS320PR810-RSC-EVM and other TI PCI-Express 5.0 redriver riser card evaluation modules to interface up to four U.2 solid state drives (SSDs). This interface connects using commercially available SlimSAS (SFF-8654) to U.2 (SFF-8639) cable assemblies (not included). Interface to M.2 SSDs is also achievable using commercially available U.2 to M.2 adapter cards (not included).

Features

  • Supports PCI-Express® 5.0 1 x4, 2 x4, and 4 x4 bifurcation
  • Two x8 SlimSAS (SFF-8654) connectors
  • LMK00334 PCI-Express® clock buffer
  • Flexible assignment of PCI-Express® side band signals

Applications

  • PCI Express Gen-1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
  • Enterprise storage
