See section 7.2.2.2.3 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 1.5Gb/s. For products which support 3Gb/s,
this test is not required.
• 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.

2.16. Phy Receive Signal Requirements
During the testing execution for all RSG test requirements, it is essential that the product under test be able to
complete an initial OOB sequence through the device COMWAKE prior to transmission of a BIST FIS or initiation of
the BIST mode sequence. This is to allow product calibration to occur prior to and/or during the initial power on and
detect sequences.
Note: The intent of the receiver test is to stress test the PUT's receiver and integrated components, to validate that the
system can tolerate the prescribed impaired signals inline with table 31 and section 7.2.2.1.2 of the SATA 2.6
Specification.
Tester must save all the calibration data (i.e. screen shot) that is done daily at a minimum, if not every device
evaluation. Valid calibration data must be available per product for review, even if the same calibration data (i.e.
daily) is used for multiple products. It is required that calibration be completed for this area of testing to ensure
consistent measurements and environment impacts.
The reference plane is the end of the 50 ohm SMA cables that will be connected to the SATA-SMA test fixture.
