Specifications

SATA-IO Confidential 52
• Calibrate to the end of the SMA cables, but do NOT include (de-embed) the SMA to SATA PCB and the
SATA connector, so the board and the SATA connector are INCLUDED with the product measurement.
• This test requirement is only applicable to products running at 3Gb/s.
• Testing of this requirement must be completed during transmission of the Mid Frequency Test Pattern
(MFTP), The amplitude of a TDR pulse or excitation applied to an active transmitter shall not exceed
139mVpp (-13.2dBm 50 ohms) single ended.
• RL
