The IPM Host NVMe is the hardware version of the NVMe software driver used on the host side in storage application. It fully manages the NVMe protocol, it can used with any NVMe SSD, and it works without any CPU, and provides a sub microsecond latency.
The IPM Host NVMe is a verilog IP to be integrated in a FPGA. It fully manages the NVMe protocol on the host side without requiring any CPU. It can be used with any NVMe SSD available on the market, or with a custom design based on the NVMe Device IP from IP-Maker.
The Host NVMe is well suited for embedded applications requiring a high throughput storage such as recorder and video applications. 1+ million IOPS performance requires the use of an expensive CPU, which is not feasible in an embedded system with cost, space and power limitation.
The NVMe Host IP is an ideal data flow manager for recorder application were it is mainly write operations. It can also be used for read operations.
Key features:
- NVM Express Compliant
- Automatic NVMe Command management
- Single I/O queue
- up to 3 Namespaces
- Up to PCIe Gen 3x8
