Subject: RE: Reminder, SAS PHY WG call, Dec 20, 10:00am CST Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:26:44 -0700 From: "Jenkins, Mike" <Mike.Jenkins@lsi.com> To: <Alvin.Cox@seagate.com>, <t10@t10.org> X-Message-Number: 8326 Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Alvin & all, I will be on sabbatical for the next two meetings, so I will not be able to provide any further input on agenda item 5. However, anyone who wishes can look at http://www.t11.org/ftp/t11/pub/fc/pi-4/07-706v0.pdf and http://www.t11.org/ftp/t11/pub/fc/pi-4/07-706v0.zip. I would also like to take this opportunity to state my opposition to the change in reference TX output level in T10/07-486r1. We have previously set the peak-peak reference TX output at 1000 mV (800mV VMA). The particular motivation was to not overspecify end devices with low cost packages. I suggest that no application will drive a 10 meter cable with the ~600mV VMA implied by Table 73 in 07-486r1. Happy Holidays everyone.
