The IPM-NVMe Host IP Core by IP Maker is engineered for high-performance storage systems that require a comprehensive NVMe protocol management on the host side, all without the need for a CPU. This makes it particularly suitable for embedded applications where cost, space, and power are constrained. The Host IP Core supports direct integration with NVMe SSDs, offering seamless compatibility for various embedded storage solutions.
One of the key advantages of this IP core is its capability to perform at over 1 million IOPS without relying on an expensive CPU, thanks to its full hardware implementation. It boasts automatic PCIe and NVMe initialization, support for PCIe Gen 3x8, and various data paths with ultra-low latency and high throughput, ensuring impressive storage performance even in compact systems.
The design delivers a low power, low gate count solution that is easy to integrate into existing systems. Its features include automatic command management, integration with user interfaces for memory configuration, and direct NVMe command management. The fully-featured IP core significantly reduces time-to-market for OEMs by using pre-validated technology and is supported with extensive deliverables like Verilog RTL code and technical documentation to facilitate easy integration into designs.
