ABSTRACT:
A multi-channel serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) control system and control card thereof includes a first SATA control module, a first access-grant arbitration unit, a second SATA control module, a second access-grant arbitration unit and a path selection module. Through an arbitration process performed in the first and second access-grant arbitration units, an access-grant is determined. And a selection signal is generated based on the process result that is sent to the path selection module, to switch a transmission path to the SATA control module which has acquired the access-grant. Therefore, multi-channel SATA data access function may be achieved.
