I. ASM1153: USB 3.2 Gen 1 to SATA 3 Gbps Bridge Controller
Product Overview
The ASM1153 is ASMedia’s third-generation single-chip USB-to-SATA bridge solution, providing high-speed bridging between a USB 3.2 Gen 1 host interface and a Serial ATA device interface. The chip integrates ASMedia’s proprietary SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PHY, USB 2.0 PHY, and a SATA PHY supporting SATA 1.5/3.0 Gbps. Utilizing advanced process technology to optimize power consumption, the chip is fully pin-compatible with the earlier ASM1053, allowing customers to seamlessly upgrade their existing storage device solutions.
Key Features
The ASM1153 complies with the USB 3.0 Revision 1.0 and USB 2.0 specifications and supports three USB speed modes: SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), High-Speed (480 Mbps), and Full-Speed (12 Mbps). On the SATA side, it complies with the Serial ATA specification Revision 2.6, with a maximum signal bandwidth of 3 Gbps. The chip supports the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) Revision 1.0, the Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport specification Revision 1.3, the ATA/ATAPI packet command set, and the LBA48 addressing mode.
The chip integrates an 8-bit microprocessor and embedded program RAM/ROM, supports SPI NVRAM for manufacturer-customized applications, and provides multiple GPIO pins and programmable PWM outputs. The clock scheme supports 20/25/30 MHz external crystal modes or a 30 MHz clock input mode (configured via strapping). It features two built-in voltage regulators for powering the I/O and core, respectively, with HBM ESD protection up to 2 kV and MM ESD protection up to 200 V. The package is an environmentally friendly 6×6 mm QFN 48L (lead-free) package.
II. ASM1153E: USB 3.2 Gen1 to SATA 6 Gbps Bridge Controller
Product Overview
The ASM1153E is ASMedia’s third-generation single-chip USB-to-SATA 6 Gbps bridge solution, providing high-speed bridging between a USB 3.2 Gen1 host interface and a Serial ATA 6 Gbps device interface. The chip integrates ASMedia’s proprietary SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen1 PHY, USB 2.0 PHY, and a SATA PHY supporting SATA 1.5/3.0/6.0 Gbps. Like the ASM1153, the ASM1153E is fully pin-compatible with the ASM1053 and integrates an 8-bit microprocessor and embedded RAM, providing a cutting-edge solution for the USB-to-SATA storage device market.
Key Features
The ASM1153E complies with the USB 3.0 specification Revision 1.0 and the USB 2.0 specification, supporting SuperSpeed, High-Speed, and Full-Speed USB data transfer modes. On the SATA side, it complies with the Serial ATA specification Revision 3.0, with a signal bandwidth of up to 6 Gbps. The chip supports UASP Revision 1.0, the Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport specification Revision 1.3, the ATA/ATAPI packet command set, and the LBA48 addressing mode, and features spread-spectrum control for both the USB 3.0 and SATA interfaces to improve EMI performance.
The ASM1153E also integrates an 8-bit microprocessor and embedded program RAM/ROM, supports SPI NVRAM, multiple GPIO pins, and programmable PWM outputs. Its clocking scheme and power supply architecture are identical to those of the ASM1153, and it is housed in the same environmentally friendly 6×6mm QFN 48L (lead-free) package.
About UASP Support
The ASM1153E supports the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) for accelerated data transfer, which significantly improves the read and write performance of storage devices compared to the traditional BOT transfer protocol, and is specifically optimized for SSD storage media. Hard drive enclosures incorporating the ASM1153E have been tested to support UASP acceleration, achieving transfer speeds approximately 70% faster than those of traditional USB 3.0 card readers.
III. Typical Applications
The ASM1153 and ASM1153E are widely used in storage peripherals such as USB-to-SATA portable hard drive enclosures, SSD enclosures, CFast 2.0 card readers, mSATA-to-USB adapters, and ultra-slim external optical drives. In USB 3.0 hard drive enclosures and CFast 2.0 card readers from brands such as Delock, ZOTAC, ORICO, and UNITEK, the ASM1153E serves as the core bridge chip, supporting data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps and hot-swap plug-and-play functionality. This solution has been widely adopted in scenarios such as office backups, content creation file transfers, and home multimedia centers. With its mature technology and strong compatibility, it is an efficient choice for extending the lifecycle of SATA storage devices.
