Renesas provides many years of controllers in any kind. SuperSpeed USB from the Japanese firm solutions are a great success, and are undoubtedly among the best. Renesas presents today a different controller. The µPD720230 is a bridge Serial ATA 3.0 to USB 3.0.


This is the first SoC of this type that supports the Protocol UASP. Therefore, it promises to provide very high-level performances, with sequential flows exceeding 370 MB/s.


This chip is also efficient in energy, with new States reducing consumption in idle. Renesas plans to begin production of its new chips in October. This µPD720230 should be made to more than 500,000 units a month. His current unit rate (which is brought to decline after the end of the sampling period) is $ 3.5. It remains to see if it will be adopted by the constructors of external enclosures!
