The Ready LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the proper +3.3 volt supply through an appropriate current limiting resistor. The LED and the current limiting resis- tor are external to the drive. See Table 15 for the output characteristics of the LED drive signals.

12.6SAS-2 Specification Compliance
Seagate
The most important characteristic of the
1.A Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) which utilizes the standard
2.A Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE) optimized to provide balanced receive margins over a range of channels bounded by the best and worst case channels as defined by the relevant ANSI standard.
