Overview

The SA3616W is the seventh generation of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

controllers based on the industry-leading Fusion-MPT (Message

PassingTechnology) architecture. The SAS3616W host interface supports

16 PCI Express® (PCIe) lanes and complies with the PCIe 3.1 specification

that extends the PCIe data rates up to 8.0 GT/s per lane, and is backwards

compatible to the 5.0/2.5 GT/s. It also incorporates End-to-End CRC

(ECRC) with Advanced Error Reporting (AER) in lane and polarity reversal,

power management, hot plug support, and MSI/ MSI-X and legacy interrupt

generation.
