Discussion:
Reference [1] specifies the Transmitted Signal conformance limits for SATA products. This specification
includes conformance limits for the UI During OOB Signaling. Reference [2] provides the definition of this term
for the purposes of SATA testing. Reference [3] defines the measurement requirements for this test.
Test Setup:
The OOB Tests are designed to be run concurrently for simplicity. Since the initiation of a COMRESET
from a products or pattern generator will force a hard reset in a products, the following OOB tests can all be
performed using an Agilent 81134A 3.35Gbps Programmable Pulse/Pattern Generator to generate the
nominal OOB COMRESET and COMWAKE bursts, as well as to stress the min in-spec, max in-spec, min
out-of-spec and max out-of-spec timing conditions for inter-burst gaps. The Agilent oscilloscope, which is
running the N5411B SATA test software, will control both the pattern generator stimulus as well as the
oscilloscope acquisition and processing parameters, providing fully automated control and repeatability of
the OOB test sequence in successive fashion. A COMRESET is issued from the generator prior to running
each test to ensure products reset, but in some cases, it may still be necessary to remove power from the
products under test temporarily to allow the products to exit from a BIST controlled mode and return to
normal operation.
Test Procedure:
This parameter is covered by Agilent Technologies, Inc. N5411B automated SATA compliance software,
revision 1.02 or later. Either “PASS” or “FAIL” is shown for the UI During OOB Signaling test in the
report generated at the completion of the testing.
Observable Results:
The Mean UI During OOB Signaling value shall be between 646.67 and 686.67ps.
Possible Problems:
