Table 16 defines the general interface characteristics.

Seagate SAS-2 drives are entirely compatible with the latest SAS-2 Specification (T10/1760-D) Revision 16.

The most important characteristic of the SAS-2 drive at 6 Gbps is that the receiver is capable of adapting the 
equalizer to optimize the receive margins. The SAS-2 drive has two types of equalizers: 

1.

A Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) which utilizes the standard SAS-2 training pattern transmitted dur-
ing the SNW-3 training gap. The DFE circuit can derive an optimal equalization characteristic to compen-
sate 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.

Please contact your Seagate representative for SAS electrical details, if required.
