An Overview of Serial ATA Technology Objectives Why SATA was invented The differences between PATA and SATA How the hardware is structured to transmit and receive SATA Protocol of SATA transmission What is PATA? All of the below synonyms refer to a modern day PATA drive PATA – Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment UDMA – Ultra Direct Memory Access IDE – Integrated Device Electronics EIDE – Enhanced IDE More on PATA 40 80 wire cable option 40 wire limited to UDMA 33 MB/s and below 80 wire allowed for UDMA 66, 100, 133 MB/s Required by ATA spec to be 5v tolerant (3.3v has been the norm for several years) Must support Master/Slave/Cable Select SATA Basics New Connector Saves space More reliable More air flow Connector has 4 transmission wires Tx differential pair Rx differential pair SATA Basics SATA I for 1.5Gbps ~ 150MB/s SATA II for 3.0Gbps ~ 300MB/s Provides support for legacy command set Includes new commands for SATA BIST and power management Connectivity Serial ATA is point-to-point topology Hosts can support multiple devices but requires multiple links 100% available link bandwidth Failure of one device or link does not affect other links Link Characteristics SATA uses full-duplex links Protocol only permits frame transfer in one direction at a time Each link consists of a transmit and a receive pair SATA uses low voltage levels Nominal voltage +/-250mV differential Power Management SATA has Phy Ready – Capable of sending and receiving data. Main phase locked loop are on and active Partial – Physical layer is powered but in a reduced state. Must be able to return to Phy Ready within 10 us. Slumber – Physical layer is powered but in a reduced state. Must be able to return to Phy Ready within 10 ms. ATA also defines IDLE, STANDBY, and SLEEP Necessary for newer laptop mobile devices SATA Architectural Model Physical Layer Transmission (Tx) and Reception (Rx) of a 1.5Gb/s serial stream Perform power on sequencing Perform speed negoti
