Chapter 4: Receiver
RX Equalizer
Functional Description
The RX has a continuous time RX equalization circuit and a decision feedback equalization
circuit to compensate for high-frequency losses in the channel.
This continuous time RX equalization circuit can be tuned to meet the specific
requirements of the physical channel used in the design by compensating for signal
distortion due to high-frequency attenuation.
It is a 3-stage amplifier with the ability to boost the input signal at low, intermediate, and
high frequencies. There are eight different frequency responses to accommodate several
channels.
SATA_MIN_INIT 6-bit Hex Lower bound on idle count during COMINIT/COMRESET for
SAS/SATA
SATA_MIN_WAKE 6-bit Hex Lower bound on idle count during COMWAKE for SAS/SATA
Notes:
