Realtek introduces a new SSD controller

Realtek is currently developing the next generation of PCIe 4.0 controllers, and recently demonstrated the current RTS5762 and RST5763DL (DRAM less).RTS5762 is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2020, with specific information on RST5763DL unknown.

Realtek, a well-known semiconductor company whose network and sound CARDS are familiar to everyone, may be looking to expand into SSD.

RTS5762 is Realtek's next-generation top controller, which is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2020.It will use a dram-based multi-core architecture with a second-generation LDPC error correction engine and AES encryption.Performance statistics are not yet available, but with 8 NAND channels and NAND interface speeds of up to 1200 MT/s and PCIe 4.0 x4 channels, its performance and performance should be respectable based on the available intelligence.

The appearance of the RST5763DL, a dram-less control chip based on the Host Memory Buffer technology, will be delayed a bit.Its PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface is more efficient and supports only four NAND channels.It will probably be pre-sampled in the fourth quarter of this year.Its NAND interface will run at speeds up to 1200 MT/s to keep up with the latest NAND and will also feature a multicore CPU architecture with the same security and LDPC support.The RTS5765DL controller package size is BGA 11x11, while the more powerful RTS5771 has not yet been finalized.

Realtek has entered into a partnership with viacom. The latest XPG SX6000 Pro features RTS5763DL, PCIe 3.0x4 NVMe 1.3 compatible controller, providing 2.1/1.5gb/s sequential read-write and 250000 IOPS performance.XPG Spectrix S40G RGB SSD USES RTS5762 with 3.5/3.0gb/s sequential read and write and IOPS up to 420,000/320,000.

Realtek also demonstrated a new USB bridge controller, the RTL9210, that can be used to connect to the PCIe 3.0 x2 via USB 3.1 Gen 2.USB bridgable controllers have higher power, so there are compatibility issues with some machines, and Realtek supports less power consumption through active state power management, so it also helps reduce overall heat output, and supports RGB lamp efficiency. Meanwhile, weigang will launch external storage devices accordingly.
