DESCRIPTION
SN75LVCP601 is a dual-channel, single-lane SATA redriver and signal conditioner supporting data rates up to
6 Gbps. The device complies with SATA physical link 2m and 3i specifications. SN75LVCP601 operates from a
single 3.3-V supply and has 100-Ω line termination with a self-biasing feature, making the device suitable for ac
coupling. The inputs incorporate an out-of-band (OOB) detector, which automatically squelches the output while
maintaining a stable common-mode voltage compliant to the SATA link. The device is also designed to handle
spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) transmission per the SATA specification.
The SN75LVCP601 handles interconnect losses at both its input and output. The input stage of each channel
offers selectable equalization settings that can be programmed to match the loss in the channel. The differential
outputs provide selectable de-emphasis to compensate for the distortion that the SATA signal is expected to
experience. The level of equalization and de-emphasis settings depends on the length of interconnect and its
characteristics. Both equalization and de-emphasis levels are controlled by the setting of signal control pins EQ1,
EQ2, DE1, and DE2.
The device is hot-plug capable (requires the use of ac-coupling capacitors at differential inputs and outputs),
preventing device damage under device hot-insertion, such as async signal plug/removal, unpowered
plug/removal, powered plug/removal, or surprise plug/removal.

NOTE: *Trace lengths are suggested values based on TI spice simulations (done over programmable limits of input EQ and
output de-emphasis) to meet SATA loss and jitter spec.
Actual trace length supported by the LVCP601 may be more or less than suggested values and depends on board
layout, trace widths, and number of connectors used in the SATA signal path.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
INPUT EQUALIZATION
Each differential input of the SN75LVCP601 has programmable equalization in its front stage. The equalization
setting is shown in Table 1. The input equalizer is designed to recover a signal even when no eye is present at
the receiver, and effectively supports FR4 trace at the input anywhere from 4 in. (10.2 cm) to 20 in. (50.8 cm) at
SATA 6G speed.
OUTPUT DE-EMPHASIS
The SN75LVCP601 provides the de-emphasis settings shown in Table 1. De-emphasis is controlled
independently for each channel, and is set by the control pins DE1 and DE2 as shown in Table 1. There are two
de-emphasis duration settings available in the device. DEW1 and DEW2 control the DE durations for channels
one and two, respectively. The recommended settings for these control pins are listed Table 1. Output
de-emphasis is capable of supporting FR4 trace at the output anywhere from 2 in. (5.1 cm) to 12 in. (30.5 cm) at
SATA 3G/6G speed.
LOW-POWER MODE
Two low-power modes are supported by the SN75LVCP601, listed as follows:
1. Standby mode (triggered by the EN pin, EN = 0 V)
– Low-power mode is controlled by the enable (EN) pin. In its default state, this pin is internally pulled high.
Pulling this pin LOW puts the device in standby mode within 2 µs (max). In this mode, all active
components of the device are driven to their quiescent level, and differential outputs are driven to Hi-Z
(open). Maximum power dissipation in this mode is 5 mW. Exiting from this mode to normal operation
requires a maximum latency of 5 µs.
2. Auto low-power mode (triggered when a given channel is in the electrically idle state for more than 100 µs
and EN = Vcc)
– The device enters and exits low-power mode by actively monitoring the input signal (VIDp-p) level on
each of its channels independently. When the input signal on either or both channels is in the electrically
idle state, i.e., VIDp-p < 50 mV and stays in this state for >100 µs, the associated channel(s) enters into
the low-power state. In this state, output of the associated channel(s) is driven to VCM and the device
selectively shuts off some circuitry to lower power by >80% of its normal operating power. Exit time from
the auto low-power mode is <50 ns.
Out-of-Band (OOB) SUPPORT
The squelch detector circuit within the device enables full detection of OOB signaling as specified in the SATA
specification. Differential signal amplitude at the receiver input of 50 mVpp or less is not detected as an activity
and hence not passed to the output. Differential signal amplitude of 150 mVp-p or more is detected as an activity
and therefore passed to the output, indicating activity. Squelch circuit ON/OFF time is 5 ns, maximum. While in
squelch mode, outputs are held to VCM.
DEVICE POWER
The SN75LVCP601 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.
