General Description XRS10L140 (140) is a low power, low latency, high performance 1 to 4 SATA-II Port Multiplier. XRS10L120 (120) is a 1 to 2 Port Multiplier, a cost-reduced version of 140. Speed Auto-negotiating PHY, deep rate-adaptation FIFO, and extensive InterOp testing make them most compatible Port Multipliers in the world. Their cost effective implementation makes them ideal for eSATA drive enclosures, DVRs, digital video surveillance systems, and entry-level servers. XRS10L140 is offered in 100-pin LQFP package with industrial temperature grade. It’s pin compatible with XRS10L120IV (a 1:2 PM with reduced die size), easy for customer to migrate between the 2 devices. XRS10L120 is offered in both 100-pin LQFP and 64-pin QFN packages. Both 140 and 120 are powered with a single 1.2V supply. An on-chip crystal oscillator supports both 3GHz and 1.5G data rates.
XRS10L240 (240) is a Combo chip consisting of a 2 to 1 SATA-II Port Selector followed by a 1 to 4 SATA-II Port Multiplier. XRS10L220 (220), a cost-reduced version of the 240 is a 2 to 1 SATA-II Port Selector followed by a 1 to 2 SATA-II Port Multiplier.

Applications Applications for the 140/120 are very broad ranging from HD DVR, home NAS, drive enclosure, High-end PCs, and video surveillance systems to blade server mid-plane. The 140 can find applications where extra SATA ports are needed when host controller(s) are AHCI compliant or PM-aware. Applications for the 240/220 include drive enclosures; they allow drive enclosure manufacturers to enhance capacity with failover protection. There’s no competing device for the XRS10L220/240 combos. The target market segments and the corresponding applications are: • Consumer
•HD DVR •IP-Set-Top Box •Home NAS, DAS • Multi-Bay Drive Enclosures
• Industrial •Video Surveillance •Video Editing •POS Systems
• SMB Enterprise •Blade Servers •NAS Appliance •External RAID
The following sections illustrate the applications for certain market segments: DVR Applications A typical block diagram of a HD DVR box is shown below. The 120 is used to expand SATA ports to support internal hard drive, and an external eSATA port.

Advantages
• Industry’s first Port Multiplier with: o industrial temperature range, o single 1.2V power supply, o programmable Tx amplitude and de-emphasis levels for optimized transmission
• Low latency design • Lowest power consumption per SATA port • Power down mode for un-used ports • Compliant to latest SATA standards • Fully supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) – reordering of commands to increase
drive performance and reduce unnecessary drive head movement • Device fanout through Port Multiplier facilitates a variety of external Hardware or
Software RAID configurations
DISTINGUISHING FEATURE
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE SYSTEM BENEFIT

Most applications do not need to drive 2-wire I/F for device configuration
Reduces SW overhead and BOM cost
Programmable IO performance parameters
Custom tuning for best performance fit per channel
Achieves better SI across long cables and interconnects
Operational over the Industrial Temperature range
Allows the use of device across pervasive applications
Extended reliability under stringent environmental conditions

There’s no competing SATA device equivalent to the XRS10L220/240 combo devices. Sales Strategy The XRS10L140/120/220/240 supports the expansion of the number of SATA-I/II ports available on a SATA Host Controller. The XRS10Lxx0 family is the industry’s only SATA-I/II port multiplier family operational over industrial temperature range, which can drive over 2 meters of eSATA cable without the need of Phy programming. They have the industry’s lowest power/port and are available in the same 100 pin LQFP facilitating one PCB design to accommodate all 4 devices allowing scalability from 2 to 4 ports. In general we have significant (> 50%) power advantage over the competition. Selling against Silicon Image: • Our solution occupies 20% to 50% less board space • All Silicon Image PMs need an external $1.20 FLASH device for code store • No MCU or programming needed - default register settings are good for most applications Selling against Marvel: • Marvel announced the 1:4 Port Multiplier, 88SM4140 in 2004 • May not be compliant to the latest SATA standards • Interoperability with newer Hosts and Drives may be an issue • From latest research and inquiry they don’t have a 1:2 PM • For 1:2 PM application we occupy 30% less board space
