This post explains for the bridge controller. A USB to SATA II 3.0G bridge controller is an integrated circuit or controller chip that serves as an interface between a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port and a SATA II (Serial ATA) storage device. It enables the connection of SATA II hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs) to a computer or other device via a USB interface.
The Part Number is JMS539.
The function of this semiconductor is SuperSpeed USB to SATA II 3.0G Bridge Controller.
Manufacturer: JMicron

Description
The JMS539 is a bridge controller, which translates the communication protocol between SATA II 3.0G and SuperSpeed USB commands. The integrated 60MIPS 8051, SATA II, Hi-Speed USB and SuperSpeed USB technology enable users to perform SuperSpeed USB to SATA II 3.0G, applications in a signal chip.
In this chip, the Hi-Speed/SuperSpeed USB controller supports the USB Mass Storage Class Bulk-Only
Transport Specification.
USB to SATA II 3.0G bridge controllers are commonly used in external hard drive enclosures, docking stations, or adapter cables that enable the connection of SATA II storage devices to computers or other devices with USB ports. They provide a convenient and efficient way to access and utilize SATA II storage devices via USB interfaces.[…]
