IntelliProp Announces NVMe Host Accelerator IP Core With User-Friendly Hardware Interface

LONGMONT, Colo., Aug. 05, 2016 – 

IntelliProp, Inc., a leader in innovative Intellectual Property (IP) Cores and semiconductors for Data Storage applications, announced today the availability of a new, NVMe Host Accelerator IP Core, the IPC-NV164-HI. The NVMe Host Accelerator Core will find primary application with companies doing FPGA and ASIC designs who need connectivity with PCIe based NVMe storage devices. The new IP Core was developed at IntelliProp's Longmont, Colorado design center. The first customer deliveries have been completed.

The IPC-NV164-HI NVMe Host Accelerator IP Core allows companies to communicate with PCIe based NVMe storage devices. Compliant with the NVMe 1.2c specification, the NVMe Host IP Core provides a small footprint processor or hardware state-machine based register interface for data movement between a user-defined data buffer and an NVMe SSD. The simplified user interface of the NVMe Host IP core allows RTL Designers with minimal knowledge of the PCIe and NVMe specification, the ability to interface with high performance NVMe SSDs. The IP handles initialization of the PCIe Hard Block, building command submissions, parsing command completions, and initializing command queues. "We manage the command and completion queues in hardware so that the user does not require an embedded processor to talk to the NVMe drive," said Hiren Patel, VP of Business Development at IntelliProp. "Initial support is available today for the Xilinx Kintex UltraScale, Xilinx 7-Series, and Altera Arria 10 FPGAs with other FPGAs soon to be available," continued Mr. Patel.
