Purpose: To verify that the Spread-Spectrum Modulation Deviation of the Products Under Test’s (PUT’s)
transmitter is within the conformance limits.

Resource Requirements:
Same requirements as for PHY-01

Discussion:
Reference [1] specifies the general PHY conformance limits for SATA products. This specification
includes conformance limits for the Spread-Spectrum Modulation Deviation. Reference [2] provides the
definition of this term for the purposes of SATA testing. Reference [3] defines the measurement
requirements for this test.
In this test, the Spread-Spectrum Modulation Deviation is measured, based on at least 10 complete SSC
cycles.
This test is only run once at the maximum interace rate of the product (1.5Gb/s, 3.0Gb/s or 6.0Gb/s)
Test Setup:
Same setup as for PHY-01.
Test Procedure:
This parameter is covered by Agilent Technologies, Inc. N5411B automated SATA compliance software,
revision 1.02 or later. The Max Unit Interval is measured over the entire trend and converted to ppm
deviation. The Min Unit Interval is measured over the entire trend and converted to ppm. Both Max and
Min UI must be within the limits of the specification to pass this test. Either “PASS” or “FAIL” is shown
for the SSC modulation deviation test in the report generated at the completion of the testing.
The measurement for SSC modulation deviation records the mean of max unit interval values after the
1.98MHz filter is applied. The value reported as the result must be the single total range value relative to
nominal of the SSC modulation deviation, using the equations below, where “Min” is the mean of 10
recorded values of the minimum peaks and “Max: is the mean of 10 recorded values of the maximum
peaks. The ppm deviation is computed from the following operations and compared against spec value for
pass/fail:
Calculate max deviation = (Measured Max – Nominal)/Nominal * 1e6 ppm
Calculate min deviation = (Measured Min – Nominal)/Nominal * 1e6 ppm
Nominal is defined as 666.6667ps for Gen 1 MAX data rate products, 333.3333ps for Gen 2 MAX data rate
products and 166.6667ps for Gen3 MAX data rate products.
