Meeting number: 822 135 571
Meeting password: 10meter


Agenda:

1.  Fixed and Free connector designation:

Current SAS designation has fixed and free related to connector type (receptacle and plug, respectively) rather than primary application.

2. Comparison of Equalization Schemes for 6Gbps SAS Channels (06-049) [Caroselli, Malipatil]

http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.06/06-049r1.pdf
The LSI presentation looks at peak vertical amplitude only, rather than width of the eye also. Yuriy will run simulations to show how number of taps increases width of eye opening.

3.  Spread spectrum clocking

4.  Continued discussion on 6Gbps specification elements

TCTF definition?
Common mode?
Return loss?
SRN?
