Marvell 88SE9220/9230/9235/9215
SATA 6Gb/s Host Controllers
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Marvell, a market leader of SATA embedded controller devices, has added the Marvell ® 88SE9220 and Marvell
88SE9230 host controllers as cost-effective solutions for connecting Serial ATA (SATA) peripherals. The Marvell
88SE9220 and 88SE9230 connect SATA III devices to a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 host, delivering up to 1 Gigabyteper-second (GB/s) bandwidth. Each host controller supports two or four 6 gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) SATA peripheral interface ports and a two-lane 5.0 Gb/s PCIe host interface. In addition, it features hardware RAID running with an enhanced ARM-based processor to offload the host CPU; Marvell proprietary Marvell HyperDuo TM technology for automated solid-state drive (SSD)/hard disk drive(HDD) tiering; on-the-fly AES 128/256-bit encryption for connected
SATA SSD/HDD devices; and AHCI interface for in-box driver support. A complete suite of RAID 0/1/10 and HyperDuo software is provided, including the OS device driver, BIOS/Firmware and management utility. The Marvell 88ES9220 and 88SE9230 host controllers allow for a small footprint, highly integrated SATA III design that will enable highperforming yet cost-effective HDD, SSD and other peripheral designs.

APPLICATIONS
The Marvell 88SE9220 and 88SE9230 SATA host controllers are ideal solutions for RAID on motherboard (ROMB) and cost-effective host bus adapters (HBAs). It allows PCIe-based host systems to control up to four SATA 6Gb/s HDDs or
SSDs. An embedded ARM-based CPU makes this product a pure hardware RAID controller and enables in-box driver support without additional driver installation. The included Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) provides a user-friendly interface to end users, while the Marvell RAID driver allows the drives to be used with a SATA port multiplier for increased system performance and capacity.
The Marvell HyperDuo offers a breakthrough embedded technology for new generation 6Gb/s SATA Controllers, enabled on the Marvell 88SE9230 and 88SE9220. Based on years of research and patent-pending software and hardware, HyperDuo enables 80 percent of the performance of an SSD at less than half the cost. Configured with one hard drive and multiple SSDs, HyperDuo uses intelligent algorithms to automatically migrate hot data to the
SSD while enabling all data to be safely stored on a larger capacity SATA HDD for higher input/output operations per second (IOPS), throughput and capacity.
The Marvell 88SE9235 and 88SE9215 can be used for embedded platform applications such as home NAS/media servers, DVR/NVR and set-top boxes, or by HBA vendors to develop their own RAID software or in-box OS drivers.
Fully programmable on-chip transceivers support SATA, eSATA, and xSATA at 6 Gb/s and are backward compatible to 1.5 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s. Built-in support for SATA Port Multipliers with FIS-based switching ensures maximum performance. The small footprint of the device, and the few required external components, take up minimal board space, easing system design and reducing cost. Embedded enclosure management via I2C protocol, further reduces system cost.
