In the previous screen shot, the center of the grid is at 3GHz and the SSC deviation is down spread as required.
PHY Transmitted Signal Requirements
The PHY Transmitted Signal requirements (TSG) group of tests includes parameters from Table 31 in the SATA
specification, revision 3.0. There are a total of 12 tests defined in this group.
TSG-01 – Differential Output Voltage
This test measures the differential output voltage of the transmitter for products running at 1.5Gb/s or 3.0Gb/s.
The minimum and maximum are tested differently. A persistence map is built from the differential waveform for
both measurements. For VDiffMin, the HFTP, MFTP, and LBP patterns are used. Persistence histograms are
accumulated over the center of the UI using a slice width of 1/10 of the UI for the high and low levels. Then the
mean of histograms are used to compute the differential output voltage. The screenshot below shows the VDiffMin
measurement using LBP. P1 is the mean of the histogram for the upper level. P2 is the mean of the histogram for
the lower level. P3 is the difference between the two voltages.
