USB controllers meet Implementers Forum standards
The OXU121HP and OXU200 high-speed USB controllers have been compliance certified by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF)
Oxford Semiconductor has announced the first devices in a new family of network-attached storage (NAS) controllers, designed specifically for consumer applications. Highly integrated and supported by a complete Linux based software design suite, the OXE800 products provide OEMs with the right balance between performance and cost.
Integrating Gigabit Ethernet MAC and PCI ports, the controllers are accessible to client devices connected via Ethernet or 802.11 Wi-Fi networks.
The first two products available, the OXE800SE and OXE800DSE, provide a direct interface to respectively one or two SATA drives.
Both controllers feature integrated AES-based hardware encryption facilities to ensure the security of sensitive personal data.

Controller is single-chip networking solution
Network connectivity controller IC provides a complete silicon and open source software platform for the development of high performance, feature-rich device networking products
Providing seamless interface to two SATA drives, the OXE800DSE supports RAID 0 and 1 storage configurations in primary backup roles.
Storage expansion is also simple to achieve using the OXE800's integrated USB host controllers to interface with mass storage devices.
Integrating an ARM926EJ-S processor, MMU and dual 32Kbyte caches, the NAS controllers run the Linux operating system (V2.6) with a full network stack, ensuring development of customer specific features and applications is both simple and rapid.
A web-based configuration tool supplied with the controller enables system functionality to be set up via simple HTML web pages, which are easily customised to match OEM corporate identity.
Highly integrated devices, the OXE800s offer a host of additional features including a network coprocessor for TCP/IP acceleration, five-channel DMA controller, DDR SDRAM controller with selectable 8 and 16bit interface and a static memory interface for external Flash.
The controllers are provided in the 19 x 19mm 272-pin PBGA package.
The rapidly emerging home storage sector is regarded as one area in particular that's set to benefit from the introduction of Oxford's NAS controller technology.
In this application, network-attached storage holds all types of personal content (music, pictures, and videos) and makes it accessible to users throughout the home via simple navigation screens on TV as well as PC based devices.
