PCIe-SATA conversion adapter[AB01-PCIe2SATA]
Manual
[ Ver1.0E]
Introduction
Thank you for choosing PCI-Express_to_SATA conversion adapter [Part Number: AB01-PCIe2SATA] (“SATA
adapter” in this manual.)
The SATA adapter is interface conversion board between 1-lane PCI-Express and SATA so that user can evaluate
SATA-IP from DesignGateway.
User can evaluate real SATA interface operation by the SATA adapter along with FPGA Evaluation board such as
SP-605 from Xilinx and SATA SSD/HDD device.
Board Appearance
The SATA adapter board size is 18mm width and 44mm length. 1-Lane PCIe connector and SATA Host connector is
mounted on the component side. Following figure-1 shows SATA adapter appearance.

Connection to the FPGA board
Connect the SATA adapter with 1-Lane PCIe connector on the FPGA evaluation board and also connect SATA
connector with general SATA cable.
When user want to use FPGA as a SATA device and connect with SATA port of the PC, it needs signal channel
swapping between TX and RX.
In this case, insert SATA crossover adapter (Part No.: AB02-CROSSOVER) from
DesignGateway between SATA connector and SATA cable.
Disclaimer
DesignGateway is exempted from any damage to the connected SATA device or FPGA board.
