Specifications

SATA-IO Confidential 66
Measurement Requirements
See section 7.4.11 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
This test is only run once at the maximum interface rate of the product (1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s).
• Mean UI
OOB
measured to be between 646.67 ps and 686.67 ps over entire OOB burst
Pass/Fail Criteria
2.17.3. OOB-03 : COMINIT/RESET and COMWAKE Transmit Burst Length
2.17.3.1. Device/Host Expected Behavior
See section 7.2.2.7.3 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
Measurement Requirements
See section 7.4.21 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
This test is only run once at the maximum interface rate of the product (1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s).
Note that the requirement within the specification is called out in UI. For the interests of the Interoperability Program,
the measured value (T) will be compared against the minimum and maximum values of a multiple of UI
OOB
in
nanoseconds, where 103.5 ≤ T ≤ 109.9. The values above are obtained from the following formulas:
• Min (160) = 646.67ps (Min UIoob) x 160 = 103.5ns
• Max (160) = 686.67ps (Max UIoob) x 160 = 109.9ns
A minimum of 5 COMINIT/RESET and 5 COMWAKE bursts shall be captured and the mean of all captured values
shall be report.
• Burst Length measured to be between minimum and maximum values of UI
OOB
multiplied by 160 (in
nanoseconds)
Pass/Fail Criteria
2.17.4. OOB-04 : COMINIT/RESET Transmit Gap Length
2.17.4.1. Device/Host Expected Behavior
See section 7.2.2.7.4 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
• See section 7.4.21 of Serial ATA Revision 2.6.
Measurement Requirements
• This test is only run once at the maximum interface rate of the product (1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s).
• Note that the requirement within the specification is called out in UI. For the interests of the Interoperability
Program, the measured value (T) will be compared against the minimum and maximum values of a multiple of
UI
OOB
in nanoseconds, where 310.4 ≤ T ≤ 329.6. The values above are obtained from the following formulas:
o Min (480) = 646.67ps (Min UIoob) x 480 = 310.4ns
o Max (480) = 686.67ps (Max UIoob) x 480 = 329.6ns
• Per definition, devices will be validated against the COMINIT Transmit Gap Length and hosts will be verified
against the COMRESET Transmit Gap Length. The requirement is the same in both cases.
• Gap Length measured to be between minimum and maximum values of UI
OOB
multiplied by 480 (in
nanoseconds)
