LVD input characteristics
Each differential signal received by LVD interface receiver circuits shall have the following input characteristics when measured at the disc drive connector:
Steady state Low level input differential voltage = 0.030 V = < Vin = < 3.6 V (signal negation/logic 0) Steady state High level input differential voltage =

9.7.1.1General cable characteristics
To minimize discontinuities and signal reflections, cables of different impedances should not be used in the same bus. Implementations may require

A stub length of no more than 0.1 meter (0.33 foot) is allowed off the mainline interconnection with any con- nected equipment. The stub length is measured from the transceiver to the connection to the mainline SCSI bus.
