Optimized for performance and offering increased functionality on the external SATA-to-SATA path, the OXUF934DSA supports a range of RAID and storage applications targeted at users requiring maximum performance, reliability and ease of use. The OXUF934DSA can be configured for FireWire400 / USB to dual SATA, or eSATA to SATA operation. When configured in dual SATA mode, the integrated hardware RAID controller supports disk striping (RAID0) for maximum performance or disk mirroring (RAID1) for maximum data protection For higher speed connections, one of the SATA ports can be configured as a device port enabling USB, FireWire400 and eSATA combo applications. The OXUF943DSA shares a common software base with other devices in Oxford’s range of USB and FireWire storage controllers. In addition, Oxford offers a comprehensive support package that includes evaluation boards, reference designs, and software development kit. Embedded ARM Processor By managing the data flow, the on-chip ARM7 processor enables a whole new series of standalone consumer electronic product to be developed in a simple C/C++ programming environment. USB2.0 The embedded USB2.0 PHY supports both full and high speed, using bulk-only transport Mass Storage Class device protocol. Its fast read and write transfers ensure that the maximum possible host performance is maintained. No additional USB host drivers are required, for either Windows® or Mac® operating systems, for standard storage, button notification or GPIO control applications. FireWire400 The embedded 1394 PHY and link layer supports FireWire400 and complies with the 1394-1995 and 1394-2000 specifications. No additional 1394 host drivers are required for either Windows or Mac operating systems for standard storage applications. SATA Interface The dual port SATA host with embedded PHY supports the latest revisions of the SATA II specifications, including the Gen2m interface for eSATA devices. Interface speeds of 3GHz and 1.5GHz deliver maximum performance with minimum latency for external SATA storage. © PLX Technology, www.plxtech.com Page 1 of 1 4/8/2009, Version 1.0
