11.5.2 Differential signals The drive SAS differential signals comply with the intra-enclosure (internal connector) requirements of the SAS standard. Table 27 defines the general interface characteristics Table 27 General interface characteristics CHARACTERISTIC Bit rate (nominal) Unit interval (UI)(nominal) Impedance (nominal, differential ) Transmitter transients, maximum Receiver transients, maximum UNITS Mbaud ps ohm V V 1.5GB/S 1,500 666.6 100 ± 1.2 ± 1.2 3.0GB/S 3,000 333.3 100 ± 1.2 ± 1.2 6.0GB/S 6,000 166.6 100 ± 1.2 ± 1.2 12.0GB/S 12,000 83.3 100 ± 1.2 ± 1.2 11.6 SAS-3 SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE Seagate SAS-3 drives are entirely compatible with the SAS-3 Specification (T10/2212-D). The most important characteristic of the SAS-3 drive at 6Gb/s is that the receiver is capable of adapting the equalizer to optimize the receive margins. The SAS-3 drive has two types of equalizers: 1. A Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) which utilizes the standard SAS-3 training pattern transmitted during the SNW-3 training gap. The DFE circuit can derive an optimal equalization characteristic to compensate for many of the receive losses in the system. 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. 11.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please contact the Seagate representative for SAS electrical details, if required.

PECIFICATION COMPLIANCE
Seagate SAS-3 drives are entirely compatible with the SAS-3 Specification (T10/2212-D).
The most important characteristic of the SAS-3 drive at 6Gb/s is that the receiver is capable of adapting the equalizer to
optimize the receive margins. The SAS-3 drive has two types of equalizers:
1.
A Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) which utilizes the standard SAS-3 training pattern transmitted during the SNW-3
training gap. The DFE circuit can derive an optimal equalization characteristic to compensate for many of the receive
losses in the system.
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.
