Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) channel, a plurality of second SATA channels, and a channel multiplier. The first SATA channel is configured to be coupled to a corresponding serial data bus of a host device. Each of the plurality of SATA channels is configured to be coupled to a respective separate memory device channel. The channel multiplier is configured to couple the first SATA channel to each of the plurality of second SATA channels.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a data storage system, includes a controller and a plurality of solid state memory devices each including at least one memory unit. The controller includes a data interface of a first type, a data interface of a second type, and a first serial data bus. Each of the data interfaces of the first and second types is configured to be coupled to a corresponding data interface of a host device. The first serial data bus is coupled to each of the data interfaces of the first and second types and to the plurality of solid state memory devices. The controller is configured to manage data flow between the plurality of solid state memory devices and the host device through the data interfaces of the first and second types.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a data storage system includes a solid state data storage device and a memory controller in signal communication with the solid state data storage device. The memory controller includes a processor, a local memory, and an accelerator coupled between the processor and the local memory. The accelerator includes logic circuitry configured to perform data management for the local memory.
