SAN JOSE, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Integrated Device Technology, Inc. ([ IDT ]) (NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Companya" delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced the industryas first NVM Express (NVMe) enterprise non-volatile DRAM (NV-DRAM) controller with native support for PCIe Gen 3. The new [ NVMe NV-DRAM controller ] expands upon IDTas previously announced [ NVMe flash controller ] family to provide standards-based, high-density, high-performance PCIe-attached NV-DRAM solutions built around a combination of DRAM and NAND flash devices.

"IDT continues to be at the forefront of NVMe PCI Express controller innovation. The new NVM Express NV-DRAM controller follows the industryas first NVMe enterprise flash controller announced in August"

The IDT [ 89HF08P08AG3 ] NV-DRAM controller supports up to 32 GB of DDR3 SDRAM and 8 channels of NAND flash, with a PCIe x8 Gen 3 host interface. The controller is designed to fully comply with the [ NVMe standard ]a" a standard that defines an optimized register interface, command set, and feature set for PCIe-based solid-state drives (SSDs). IDTas new [ PCIe NV-DRAM controller ] enables unparalleled read and write random performance with extremely low latency and high endurance, making it ideal for storage-intensive enterprise-class applications. The programmable controller provides OEMs the flexibility to quickly develop and deploy NV-DRAM solutions that use standard NVM Express drivers.

aIDT continues to be at the forefront of NVMe PCI Express controller innovation. The new NVM Express NV-DRAM controller follows the [ industryas first NVMe enterprise flash controller ] announced in August,a said Kam Eshghi, senior director of marketing of the Enterprise Computing Division of IDT. aIDTas family of NVMe flash and NV-DRAM controllers dramatically boosts the number of random I/O operations per second (IOPS) that a system can process. At the same time, the devices eliminate the traditional SAS and SATA storage infrastructure and thereby reduce latency, power and cost. NVMe is enabling a paradigm shift occurring in enterprise architectures and IDTas NVM Express controllers play a central role.a

The 89HF08P08AG3 NV-DRAM controller reads and writes data directly into DDR3 DRAM at speeds of up to 3GBps. When the 89HF08P08AG3 controller detects power-down, the DRAM contents are backed up into NAND flash. With up to eight NAND flash channels and eight targets per channel, this backup operation can be performed with a write bandwidth of up to 1GBps, depending on flash type and number of targets utilized. The 89HF08P08AG3 supports up to 32GB of DDR3 SDRAM, with configurable data rate from DDR3-800 through DDR3-1600. The datapath is 72 bits wide (64 b data and 8 b ECC) with four ranks, and it supports x8 and x16 SDRAM data widths.

As with IDTas [ PCIe flash controllers ], the new PCIe NV-DRAM controller is fully programmable, enabling customers to differentiate their solutions with custom firmware that leverages IDTas reference firmware. In addition, IDTas 89HF08P08AG3 provides the data integrity and reliability features expected in enterprise-class solutions.

IDTas NVMe flash controllers will be on display at the Intel Developer Forum, September 11-13, in San Francisco, California. For more information about the NVMe specification, visit [ www.nvmexpress.org ].
