Topic: SAS-2 PHY WG
Date: Thursday
Time: 10:00 am, Central Daylight Time (GMT -05:00, Chicago)
Meeting number: 826 515 680
Meeting password: 6gbpsSAS

Goal is for completion of the PHY spec for letter ballot of SAS 2 following the November plenary. There will be no face-to-face due to only 6 weeks between plenary meetings.

Specific areas identified for needing completion:

1. Transmitter common mode measurements to validate the currently proposed chart. [Anyone with silicon to test]
2. Description of SSC profile allowed discontinuities. [Hernandez]
3. Zero length test load proposal. [Olawsky} Should be reviewed by all to determine if ready for inclusion.
4. Should the cable specification be done by common mode requirements or fall under channel simulation? [All]
5. Define the delivered signal characteristics for physical receiver testing. Include 0.1UI sinusoidal jitter to do the equivalent of receiver tolerance testing. [Bari, Jenkins, Newman, Witt]
6. Refine/provide status on simulation technology. [Jenkins, Newman]
7. Proposal for JTF calibration of JMD’s [Cox]

Anyone that can help in these specific areas is invited and encouraged to participate.  Also please review 07-339 and provide any input to Alvin Cox or the T10 reflector.
