The SN75LVCP600 is a versatile single channel, SATA signal conditioner supporting data rates up to 6.0Gbps. The device complies with SATA physical link 2m and 3i specifications. The SN75LVCP600 operates from a single 3.3V supply and has 100- line termination with self-biasing feature, making the device suitable for AC coupling. The inputs incorporate an out-of-band (OOB) detector, which automatically squelches the output when input differential voltage falls below theshold while maintaining a stable common-mode voltage compliant to SATA link. The device is also designed to handle spread spectrum clocking (SSC) transmission per SATA spec.

The SN75LVCP600 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 3Gbps and lower the LVCP600 equalizes signals for a span of up to 50 inches of FR4 board material. For data rates of 6Gbps the device compensates up to 40in of FR4 material. The equalization level is controlled by the setting of the signal control pin EQ.

Two de-emphasis levels can be selected on the transmit side to provide 0 or 1.2dB of additional high-frequency loss compensation at the output.

The device is hot-plug capable(1) preventing device damage under device hot-insertion such as async signal plug/removal, unpowered plug/removal, powered plug/removal, or surprise plug/removal.
