2.15.4. RX-04 : Gen2 (3Gb/s) Common Mode Return Loss
2.15.4.1. Device/Host Expected Behavior
See section 7.2.2.4.4 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
• See section 7.4.10 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
Measurement Requirements
• 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 a PHYRDY Interface Power State (see section 8.1. of
SATA Revision 2.6). The amplitude of a TDR pulse or excitation applied to a receiver shall not exceed
300mVpp (-6.48dBm 50 ohms) single ended.
