DS80EP100 - SATA3 Application

Guru 19775 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS80EP100

Hello Team,

Could DS80EP100 support SATA3 interface including OOB signal ?

I believe this device is kind like a passive high pass filter, so I believe it could be used at SATA3 application, but in case please allow me to confirm.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

  • Hi Kawai,

    Yes the DS80EP100 can be used with OOB signaling.  Since this equalizer design is passive, the overall voltage gain at the OOB frequency will be about -6 dB or about 50% of the input level.  This should still be enough voltage to have good OOB signaling.  OOB signaling requires > 250mV amplitude.  So the starting OOB signal will need to be at least 500mV at the SATA3 Tx.
