VSC7158XHT-03 概要

The Microchip (formerly Maxim Integrated) VSC7158XHT-03 is an Enhanced 18-PHY 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) edge and fanout expander device targeting enterprise storage fabrics. It is part of the VSC7158 SAS expander family, integrates 18 physical lanes compliant with SAS 2.0, and supports both 1.5 Gbps (G1) and 3.0 Gbps (G2) serial rates for direct and switched storage topologies. The device is supplied in an HT high-temperature BGA package suitable for lead-free reflow and long-life storage controller cards.

What is a SAS expander? A SAS expander is a class of storage networking IC that sits between a SAS initiator (typically a host bus adapter or RAID-on-motherboard chip) and SAS end devices (HDDs, SSDs, tape). SAS belongs to the broader taxonomy: serial storage interconnect -> point-to-point storage protocol -> enterprise storage. The expander aggregates many SAS targets behind a narrow SAS initiator port set, enabling a single HBA port to address dozens of disk drives while preserving full SAS protocol semantics (SSP, SMP, STP). Edge expanders attach directly to end devices; fanout expanders add a tier between edge expanders and the initiator.

Key features of the VSC7158XHT-03 include 18 PHY ports operating at 1.5/3.0 Gbps, support for SAS 2.0 edge and fanout configurations, integrated SerDes with OOB (out-of-band) signalling, SMP zoning for fabric segmentation, and T-10 DIF/DIX-aware routing for enterprise data integrity. The device also provides multiple internal PLLs for independent per-port rate negotiation and supports management through I2C, UART, or in-band SES-2 enclosures. Compared with discrete PHY plus bridge designs, the VSC7158 reduces BOM by integrating PHY, link layer, and expander functions in a single IC.

Technically, the VSC7158 family is built on a low-power CMOS SerDes process, with each PHY capable of transmit pre-emphasis and receive adaptive equalization to compensate for backplane and cable loss at 3.0 Gbps. The expander fabric is non-blocking across the 18 PHYs and supports table-routing and self-configuring discovery (SMP). Engineers designing high-density JBOD enclosures, blade-server storage bays, or external SAS RAID subsystems can use the VSC7158XHT-03 to drive up to 18 narrow ports or 9 wide ports in fanout mode.

Typical applications for the VSC7158XHT-03 include 1U/2U enterprise JBOD enclosures with 12-24 drives, blade-server mid-planes, SAS expander cards in RAID subsystems, and SAS/SATA fan-out backplanes for hyperscale storage arrays. It also appears in legacy tape-library back-end fabrics.

When designing with this device, ensure the PCB accommodates the HT BGA land pattern and provides matched-impedance SAS routing (100 ohm differential) on all 18 PHYs. Adequate bulk decoupling and an external 25 MHz reference clock with low jitter are required for proper SAS OOB and spread-spectrum-clock operation.

主な用途

VSC7158XHT-03 の用途: 6 件s: Enterprise JBOD Enclosure, Blade-Server Storage Mid-Plane, External SAS RAID Subsystem, Tape Library Back-End Fabric, Hyperscale Storage Array Backplane, Storage Controller Add-In Card.

🖥️

Enterprise JBOD Enclosure

The VSC7158XHT-03 is a natural fit for 1U/2U enterprise JBOD enclosures that expose 12-24 SAS/SATA drives to a single host HBA port. Its 18-PHY count maps cleanly to a 24-drive JBOD where 18 drives are connected directly and the remaining 6 drives attach through a downstream edge expander. The 1.5/3.0 Gbps SAS 2.0 support ensures compatibility with both legacy 3 Gbps HBAs and modern RAID controllers, while integrated SMP zoning lets the enclosure fabric be partitioned into isolated zones for multi-tenant deployments.

🏭

Blade-Server Storage Mid-Plane

In a blade-server chassis, the VSC7158XHT-03 sits on the storage mid-plane and aggregates SAS disks from each blade into a shared SAS domain. The expander's 18 PHYs can be split between upstream chassis manager links and downstream per-blade disk connections. With SAS 2.0 fanout support, the mid-plane topology scales to hundreds of drives across multiple expander tiers, and T-10 DIF/DIX-aware routing preserves end-to-end data integrity across the mid-plane backplane.

💾

External SAS RAID Subsystem

External SAS RAID subsystems (4U-24 bay class) use the VSC7158XHT-03 to expose 18 SAS lanes per expander card, typically two cards for full 24-bay redundancy. The expander's SES-2 in-band management interface lets the RAID controller enumerate drives, monitor temperature sensors, and control LEDs without sideband GPIO. Compared with discrete PHY-plus-bridge designs, the integrated VSC7158XHT-03 simplifies the BOM, reduces board area, and shortens time-to-market for the RAID firmware stack.

📼

Tape Library Back-End Fabric

Enterprise tape libraries (LTO-3/4/5 era) use the VSC7158XHT-03 to provide the SAS fanout fabric connecting multiple LTO tape drives to a single backup-server HBA port. The expander's G1/G2 SAS 2.0 support is sufficient for LTO tape throughput, and the fanout topology lets one initiator manage dozens of tape drives simultaneously. The device's long product lifecycle support makes it well-suited for tape library deployments where service life exceeds 10 years.

🖥️

Hyperscale Storage Array Backplane

Hyperscale cloud-storage arrays use the VSC7158XHT-03 on dense 3.5-inch HDD backplanes where each expander card fans out to 18 drives. With SAS 2.0 G1/G2 rates, the array can sustain sequential read throughput typical of cold-storage and archival workloads. The expander's integrated PHY reduces per-port power consumption versus a discrete SerDes approach, which matters at the array scale where hundreds of expanders run concurrently.

🔌

Storage Controller Add-In Card

Add-in SAS controller cards (PCIe form factor) integrate the VSC7158XHT-03 to expose multiple external SAS ports from a single host-bus adapter. The expander's 18 PHYs are sufficient for an 8-port external card with internal routing redundancy. SAS 2.0 G1/G2 support ensures compatibility with both legacy 3 Gbps hosts and modern 6 Gbps hosts (at G1/G2 backward-compatible rates). The HT BGA package suits lead-free reflow and high-volume card manufacturing.

What is the VSC7158XHT-03?
The VSC7158XHT-03 is a 18-PHY SAS 2.0 edge/fanout expander from Microchip (formerly Maxim Integrated/Vitesse). According to the VSC7158 datasheet summary on Alldatasheet, the device supports 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps SAS rates and is targeted at enterprise storage backplanes and JBODs. It integrates PHY, link, and expander fabric in a single HT BGA package.
What data rates does the VSC7158XHT-03 support?
The VSC7158XHT-03 supports SAS G1 at 1.5 Gbps and SAS G2 at 3.0 Gbps per PHY. According to the manufacturer datasheet, all 18 PHYs can operate independently and negotiate G1 or G2 with attached initiators or downstream expanders, enabling mixed-speed storage fabrics.
How many PHY ports does the VSC7158XHT-03 have?
The VSC7158XHT-03 provides 18 SAS PHY ports. In narrow port mode each PHY is an independent 1.5 or 3.0 Gbps port; in wide port mode, two adjacent PHYs are bonded to form a 3.0 Gbps wide port for higher throughput. Maximum wide-port count is 9.
What is the difference between edge and fanout mode?
In edge mode, the VSC7158XHT-03 attaches directly to end devices (SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs) and to a single upstream initiator port set. In fanout mode, the expander adds a tier between the initiator and additional edge expanders. Both modes are supported by the same silicon and selected by firmware configuration.

Yes, the VSC7158XHT-03 is in stock at DigiKey (per the verified distributor listing on 2026-10-15) and at Hotenda. Independent brokers may also list inventory, but for production designs an authorized distributor is preferred to avoid counterfeit risk. Inventory fluctuates rapidly, so confirm at the time of order.
What is a SAS edge/fanout expander?
A SAS edge/fanout expander is an IC that aggregates many SAS end devices behind a narrow initiator port set. The VSC7158XHT-03 supports both topologies: edge (direct-attached end devices) and fanout (tiered attach through additional expanders). This lets one HBA port address dozens of SAS/SATA drives while preserving full SAS protocol semantics including SSP, SMP, and STP.
Can the VSC7158XHT-03 replace the VSC7158XHT-02?
The VSC7158XHT-03 is the production-refresh of the VSC7158XHT-02 silicon revision. According to the verified web listings (Electronics-Diodes, Diodes-Price), both -02 and -03 revisions coexist on the market; the -03 revision typically offers firmware/errata fixes while remaining pin-to-pin compatible. The exact errata list is documented in the manufacturer datasheet revision history.
What is the difference between the VSC7158XHT-03 and the VSC7157XYS-03?
The VSC7157XYS-03 is a lower-density sibling with fewer PHY ports and a different package (Y/S package family), while the VSC7158XHT-03 offers 18 PHYs in the HT BGA package. Both are part of the same SAS 2.0 expander family from Microchip/Maxim. Choose the VSC7158 when you need 18 PHYs; choose the VSC7157 when fewer PHYs and a smaller package are sufficient.
What are alternatives to the VSC7158XHT-03?
Direct drop-in alternatives to the VSC7158XHT-03 within the same SAS 2.0 expander family include the VSC7158XHT (base revision) and VSC7158HT-03 (alternate package variant). Cross-brand SAS 2.0 expanders with similar PHY counts include parts from PMC-Sierra (now Microchip), LSI, and ATTO. The substitute must share the same 18-PHY count, G1/G2 support, and SAS 2.0 protocol compatibility for drop-in reuse.
When should I choose the VSC7158XHT-03 over a discrete SAS HBA?
Choose the VSC7158XHT-03 when your design needs to expose many SAS/SATA drives to a single host port without designing a custom ASIC. The expander approach is more flexible than a discrete HBA for JBODs and storage blades. For low-port-count applications (1-4 drives), a discrete HBA with embedded PHYs is usually a more cost-effective choice.
Is the VSC7158XHT-03 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the VSC7158XHT-03 is RoHS3 compliant per the verified distributor data (semiconductors-ic.com listing). The HT package supports lead-free reflow profiles. The device is also lead-free and compatible with standard SAC305 lead-free solder processes used in modern enterprise storage PCB assembly.
What reference clock is required for the VSC7158XHT-03?
The VSC7158XHT-03 requires an external low-jitter reference clock, typically 25 MHz, to drive its internal PLLs and SAS OOB signalling. The clock source should meet the SAS 2.0 jitter specification (< 50 ps RMS) to ensure proper G1/G2 link training and spread-spectrum-clock compatibility in storage backplane designs.

選定ガイド

Choose the VSC7158XHT-03 when your design needs a 18-PHY SAS 2.0 edge/fanout expander in an HT BGA package for enterprise storage backplanes, JBOD enclosures, or RAID subsystems. Choose the VSC7158XHT-02 if the -02 revision is the only stock available - it is pin-compatible but has older firmware errata. Choose the VSC7157XYS-03 only if your design needs fewer PHYs in a smaller BGA variant. Choose the VSC7160RW/C or VSC7161XHK for new SAS 2.1 / 6 Gbps designs; both are pin-compatible within the same family and offer a forward upgrade path. Avoid the VSC7156XYT-03 for new designs - it is SAS 1.0/G1 only and cannot serve 3 Gbps storage fabrics.

主な差別化要因

  • Highest-density member of the VSC7158 SAS 2.0 family at 18 PHYs (vs VSC7157XYS-03)
  • Drop-in compatible with newer SAS 2.1 expanders for upgrade path (vs VSC7160RW/C)
  • G1+G2 dual-rate SAS 2.0 support (vs VSC7156XYT-03)

設計ノート

Estimated: the VSC7158XHT-03 HT BGA requires matched-impedance 100 ohm differential routing on all 18 SAS PHYs. Use a 4-layer PCB minimum with continuous reference planes under the SAS traces to control impedance. Maintain SAS-compliant via stub length (under 0.5 mm) on the BGA break-out. AC-coupling capacitors (typically 100 nF) must be placed on each TX lane near the BGA ball per SAS 2.0 spec.

Provide at least 4 bulk capacitors (10 uF ceramic + 1 uF ceramic) per power rail of the VSC7158XHT-03, placed within 5 mm of the BGA power balls. The SerDes section has separate analog and digital supplies that should be filtered independently to prevent digital switching noise from coupling into the high-speed analog paths. Follow the manufacturer's reference decoupling schematic in the datasheet figure set.

Do not use a low-quality reference clock for the VSC7158XHT-03; jitter exceeding the SAS 2.0 spec (< 50 ps RMS) will cause intermittent link training failures and degraded OOB signalling. Always use a crystal oscillator or clean PCIe-style clock source. Spread-spectrum clocking is supported only at G1 rates, not G2; disable SSC if operating at 3.0 Gbps.

Estimated: SAS 2.0 3.0 Gbps signalling benefits from pre-emphasis and receive equalization, both of which are integrated in the VSC7158XHT-03 PHY. Backplane insertion loss should not exceed the SAS 2.0 spec budget (approximately 6 dB at 1.5 GHz). For long backplane traces (> 20 inch), enable TX pre-emphasis via the device's management interface.
