10.1Extended Voltage Mode

Figure 25, Figure 26, Table 28 and Table 29 describe the extended voltage mode eye diagrams for the modified receiver and driver. These eye diagrams needed to be modified from the original SATA specification to allow for the higher voltage parameters required for a backplane design.

Note: The material in this section is preliminary.

10.1.1Extended Voltage Mode Receiver Model

For GD31244 reads, the GD31244 receiver must be more sensitive than the SATA specification. The extended voltage mode eye diagram for the receiver shown in Figure 25 is superimposed on the SATA specified eye pattern. Table 28 provides the same parameters in a table format. These parameters are measured at the GD31244 RX pins.
