SN75LVPE801 8.0 Gbps SATA Express Equalizer and Redriver
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
•
The SN75LVPE801 is a versatile single channel,
SATA Express signal conditioner supporting data
rates up to 8 Gbps. The device supports SATA Gen
1, 2, and 3 specifications as well as PCIe 1.0, 2.0,
and 3.0. The SN75LVPE801 operates from a single
3.3-V supply and has 100-Ω line termination with selfbiasing feature, making the device suitable for AC
coupling. The inputs incorporate an out-of-band
(OOB) detector, which automatically squelches the
output when the input differential voltage falls below
threshold while maintaining a stable common-mode
voltage. The device is also designed to handle
spread spectrum clocking (SSC) transmission per
SATA standard.

The SN75LVPE801 handles interconnect losses at its
input with selectable equalization settings that can be
programmed to match the loss in the channel. For
data rates of 8 Gbps and lower the SN75LVPE801
equalizes signals for a span of up to 50 inches of
FR4 board material. For data rates of 8 Gbps the
device compensates up to 40 in of FR4 material. The
equalization level is controlled by the setting of the
signal control pin EQ.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The SN75LVPE801 is a single channel equalizer and redriver. The device operates over a wide range of
signaling rates, supporting operation from DC to 8 Gbps. The wide operating range supports SATA Gen 1,2,3
(1.5 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps, and 6.0 Gbps respectively) as well as PCI Express 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 (2.5 Gbps, 5.0 Gbps, and
8.0 Gbps). The device also supports SATA Express (SATA 3.2) which is a form factor specification that allows
for SATA and PCI Express signaling over a single connector.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 SATA Express
SATA Express (sometimes SATAe) is an electro-mechanical standard that supports both SATA and PCI Express
storage devices. SATAe is standardized in the SATA 3.2 standard. The standard is concerned with providing a
smooth transition from SATA to PCIe storage devices. The standard provides for standardized cables and
connectors, and muxes the PCIe and SATA lanes at the host side so that either SATA compliant or PCIe
compliant devices may operate with a host.
SATAe provides support for SATA1, SATA2 and SATA3 devices (operating from 1.5 Gbps to 6.0 Gbps), as well
as PCIe1, PCIe2 and PCIe3 devices (operating from 2.5 Gbps to 8.0 Gbps).
The SN75LVPE801 provides for equalization and re-drive of a single channel input signal complying with any of
the SATA or PCIe standards available with SATAe.
The SATAe standard provides for a mechanism for a host to recognize and detect whether a SATA or PCIe
device is plugged into the host. See the Typical SATA Applications section for the details of the SATA Express
Interface Detect operation.
9.3.2 Receiver Termination
The receiver has integrated terminations to an internal bias voltage. The receiver differential input impedance is
nominally 100 Ω, with a ±15% variation.
For PCI Express compatibility it is necessary to include 330 Ω pull-down resistors between the connector and the
AC capacitors, refer to Figure 24 for more information.
9.3.3 Receiver Internal Bias
The SN75LVPE801 receiver is internally biased to 1.7 V, providing support for AC coupled inputs.

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.4 Receiver Equalization
The SN75LVPE801 incorporates programmable equalization. The EQ input controls the level of equalization that
is used to open the eye of the received input signal. If the EQ input is left open, or pulled LO, 8 dB (at 4 GHz) of
equalization is applied. When the EQ input is HIGH, the equalization is set to 16 dB (again at 4 GHz).Table 1
shows the equalization values discussed.

9.3.5 OOB/Squelch
The SN75LVPE801 receiver incorporates an Out-Of-Band (OOB) detection circuit in addition to the main signal
chain receiver. The OOB detector continuously monitors the differential input signal to the device. The OOB
detector has a 50-mVpp entry threshold. If the differential signal at the receiver input is less than the OOB entry
threshold, the device transmitter transitions to squelch. The SN75LVPE801 enters squelch within 5 ns of the
input signal falling below the OOB entry threshold. The SN75LVPE801 continues to monitor the input signal while
in squelch. While in squelch, if the OOB detector determines that the input signal now exceeds the 90 mVpp exit
threshold, the SN75LVPE801 exits squelch within 5 ns. See Figure 8.

When the SN75LVPE801 enters squelch state the transmitter output is squelched. The transmitter non-inverting
(TX+) output and the transmitter inverting output (TX-) are both driven to the transmitter nominal common mode

9.3.6 Auto Low Power
The SN75LVPE801 also includes an Auto Low Power Mode (ALP). ALP is entered when the differential input
signal has been less than 50 mV for > 10 µs. The device enters and exits Low Power Mode by actively
monitoring the input signal level. In this state the device selectively shuts off internal circuitry to lower power by >
90% of its normal operating power. While in ALP mode the device continues to actively monitor input signal
levels. When the input signal exceeds the OOB exit threshold level, the device reverts to the active state. Exit
time from Auto Low Power Mode is < 50 ns (max). See Figure 9.

9.3.7 Transmitter Output Signal
The SN75LVPE801 differential output signal is 650 mVpp when de-emphasis is disabled (DE input is open or
pulled low).
9.3.8 Transmitter Common Mode
The SN75LVPE801 transmitter common mode output is set to 1.7 V.
9.3.9 De-Emphasis
The SN75LVPE801 transmitter incorporates programmable de-emphasis to provide signal conditioning to offset
the anticipated channel losses based on expected use cases for the device. Figure 10 shows an example of a
SATA host communicating with a SATA device through a backplane. In such a use case, an SN75LVPE801
would be located at the end of the interconnect channels (i.e. at the device end for the host TX channel, and at
the host end for the host RX channel. These locations are selected based on the signal conditioning that is
incorporated into the SN75LVPE801. The SN75LVPE801 provides up to 16 dB of equalization, while supporting
up to 1.2 dB of de-emphasis. The optimum location would therefore be at the end of the interconnect, allowing
the receiver equalization to address the majority of the channel loss, while the de-emphasis would be employed
to overcome the much shorter interconnect length.
The DE input controls the amount of de-emphasis that is applied at the transmitter output. The de-emphasis
selections are shown in Table 1. When DE is left open, or pulled low, de-emphasis shall be off. When DE is
pulled HIGH, 1.2 dB of de-emphasis is used at the transmitter output.

9.3.10 Transmitter Termination
The SN75LVPE801 transmitter includes integrated terminations. The receiver differential output impedance is
nominally 100 Ω, with a ≤ 22% variation.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 Active
Active mode is the normal operating mode. When power is applied to the device, and the differential input signal
to the receiver is greater than 90 mVpp, the device is in active mode and meets all the specifications in the data
sheet.
9.4.2 Squelch
When the device is powered, and the differential input signal to the receiver is less than 50 mVpp, the device is in
squelch mode. In squelch mode the transmitter outputs are both set to VCMTX or 1.7 V.
9.4.3 Auto Low Power
When the device is powered and the differential input signal to the receiver has been less than 50 mVpp for
greater than 10 ns, the device transitions to Auto Low Power (ALP) mode. In ALP, the transmitter outputs are
both set to VCMTX. In addition, while in ALP, the device shuts off internal circuitry to lower power to less than
10% of the power in the Active mode.

10 Applications and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
10.1 Application Information
The SN75LVPE801 can be used for SATA applications as well as SATA Express applications. The device
supports SATA Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 applications with data rates from 1.5 to 8 Gbps. The built-in equalization
circuits provide up to 16 dB of equalization at 4 GHz. This equalization can support SATA GEN2 (3 Gbps)
applications over up to 50 inches of FR-4 material. The same 16 dB equalizer is suited to SATA Gen3 (8 Gbps)
applications up to 40 inches of FR4.
In addition to SATA applications, the SN75LVPE801 can support SATA Express applications. SATA Express
provides a standardized interface to support both SATA (Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3) and PCI Express (PCIe 1.0,
2.0 and 3.0).
All applications of the SN75LVPE801 share some common applications issues. For example, power supply
filtering, board layout, and equalization performance with varying interconnect losses. Other applications issues
are specific, such as implementing receiver detection for SATA Express applications. The Typical Application
examples demonstrate common implementations of the SN75LVPE801 supporting SATA, as well as SATA
Express applications.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 11 shows a typical SATA Application. The SATA host, which may be a notebook or desktop,
communicates with a SATA sink, which could be a SSD mass storage device. The SATA host and sink
communicate over a backplane differential pair, or a SATA cable. When using the SN75LVPE801 as an
equalizer/redriver, the designer would optimally place the SN75LVPE801 close to the end of the interconnect.
The SN75LVPE801 provides up to 16 dB of equalization, and up to 1.2 dB of de-emphasis. Placing the
SN75LVPE801 close to the end of the interconnect allows the device equalizer to address the majority of the
high frequency losses introduced in the channel.
Ensure that the channel loss for the interconnect material and length is matched reasonably well to the
selectable equalization and de-emphasis settings available on the SN75LVPE801. The table above provides an
estimate of the amount of FR4 material that could be used as a function of the signal rate. In any case, channel
modeling would be prudent to ensure that the SATA host, interconnect, SATA equalizer/re-driver, and SATA Sink
can establish and maintain a low BER link.
The AC coupling capacitors of 10 nF are chosen to comply with the SATA standard (< 12 nF)
Often a designer may not be sure whether a signal conditioning device like the SN75LVPE801 is needed in their
specific application. The SN75LVPE801 allows the user to take the guess work of using a signal conditioning
device in a SATA link. With the SN75LVPE801 the designer has the option to use or remove the device based
on signal conditioning needs. Figure 12 shows guidelines that could be used to allow in situ testing when a board
is available. The designer would start with 0 Ω resistors in place to determine if the eye quality at the end of the
link is satisfactory. If the eye opening is not sufficient, the 0 Ω resistors could be replaced with the
SN75LVPE801.

10.2.4.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 24 is a reference schematic of a SATAe implementation using the SN75LVPE801. With a SATAe design,
both SATA and PCI Express must be supported. SATAe supports both cabled and direct connections. Using a
cabled application as an example, the SATAe power connector includes an Interface Detect (IFDet, power
connector pin P4) signal that indicates whether a SATA client or a PCIe client is connected.
When the SATAe host determines that a PCIe client is connected, the SATAe host performs receiver detection.
Receiver detection determines the presence of a client by detecting the load impedance. The transmitter
performs a common mode voltage shift, and measures the rate at which the voltage at the transmitter output
changes. The rate of change indicates if a client is present (fast charging when a low impedance load is present,
or slow charging when the load is open or high impedance). With the implementation in Figure 24, 330-Ω
pulldowns have been inserted between the host and the SN75LVPE801. The pulldown resistors indicate to the
host that a client is present. While an actual client would be expected to have an active load of 50 Ω single
ended, the 330 Ω is chosen here to meet two requirements. The 330 Ω is low enough to force the SATAe host to
decide that a receiver is present, while also high enough to only marginally affect the load when the
SN75LVPE801 is active, and presenting a 50-Ω load. With the 50 Ω and 330 Ω are both present, the parallel
combination of 43 Ω is satisfactory for most applications.
Assuming that the SATAe host has detected (via IFDet) that a SATA client is present, the SATAe host
communicates with the client via the SN75LVPE801. The SATA standard does not have a receiver detection
mode as is present in PCIe. A SATA host does use OOB signaling to communicate identification information. The
SN75LVPE801 incorporates an OOB detector in order to support OOB signaling through the device. The OOB
detector drives a squelch circuit on the SN75LVPE801 output transmitter. (See OOB/Squelch for more details on
the OOB/Squelch circuitry.)
Returning again to Figure 24, we see 200-nF AC coupling capacitors on the device or client side of the interface.
These capacitors allow interfacing to both SATA and PCIe clients. In the case of a PCIe client, the 200 nF is
within the acceptable range for all PCIe devices. When a SATA client is present, the 200 nF capacitor has little
effect on the overall link, as it appears in series with the 12-nF (max) AC coupling capacitor incorporated into the
SATA client. The 200 nF in series with the 12 nF presents an effective capacitance of 11.3 nF, as expected less
than the 12-nF maximum permitted.
The physical placement of the resistors on the high-speed transmission lines can be made as not to create a
stub on the transmission line by using resistors with the 0201 package size, an example is provided in Figure 25.

10.2.5 PCIe Applications
PCIe-only applications are implemented in a manner very similar to SATA Express applications as covered in
Detailed Design Procedure. Looking at Figure 27, and comparing it to the SATA Express application in Figure 24,
a single change is noted. For PCIe applications the 220 nF AC-coupling capacitors on the Host-to-Device link are
relocated from the Device side of the connector to the Host side. No other changes are required.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The SN75LVPE801DRF is designed to operate from a single 3.3-V supply. Always practice proper power-supply
sequencing procedure. Apply VCC first before any input signals are applied to the device. The power-down
sequence is in reverse order.

12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
12.1.1 Return Current and Plane References
High frequency return signal/current is defined as the path that a signal follows back to its original source as all
signals flow in a closed loop. Minimizing the loop area of the closed loop is beneficial for both EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) reduction and signal integrity.
The best way to minimize loop area is to always have a signal reference their nearest solid ground or power
plane. Obstructions to the return signal causes signal integrity problems like reflections, crosstalk, undershoot
and overshoot.
Signals can reference either power or ground planes, but ground is preferred. Without solid plane references,
single ended and differential impedance control is very hard to accomplish; crosstalk to other signals may
happen as the return signals have no other path. This type of crosstalk is difficult to troubleshoot.
Symmetric pairing of solid planes in the layer stackup can significantly reduce warping of the PCB during the
manufacturing process. Warping of the PCB is crucial to minimize on boards that uses BGA components.
12.1.2 Split Planes – What to Avoid
Never route signals over splits in their perspective reference planes.

12.1.3 Avoiding Crosstalk
Crosstalk is defined as interference from one trace to another by either or both inductive and capacitive coupling.
Best ways to avoid crosstalk are:
• Provide stable reference planes for all high speed signals (as noted in previous sections).
• Use the 3W rule (3 times the width of trace for separation) where applicable on all signals, but absolutely use
on clock signals.
• Use ground traces/guards around either victim or aggressor signals prone to crosstalk.
• When space is constrained and limited on areas of the PCB to route parallel buses, series or end termination
resistors can be used to route traces closer than what is normally recommended. However, calculations and
simulations must be done to validate the use of series or end termination resistors to eliminate crosstalk.
