6.14.2.4 Routing Specifications
The SATA data signal traces are edge-coupled and must be routed to achieve exactly 100 Ohms
differential impedance. This is impacted by trace width, trace spacing, distance between planes, and
dielectric material. Verify with a proper PCB manufacturing tool that the trace geometry for both data
signal pairs results in exactly 100 ohms differential impedance traces. Table 6-45 shows the routing
specifications for the data and REFCLK signals.

6.14.2.5 Coupling Capacitors
AC coupling capacitors are required on the receive data pair as well as the REFCLK pair. Table 6-46
shows the requirements for these capacitors.

6.14.2.6 SATA Interface Clock Source requirements
A high-quality, low-jitter differential clock source is required for the SATA PHY. The SATA interface
requires a LVDS differential clock source to be provided at signals SATA_REFCLKP and
SATA_REFCLKN. The clock source should be placed physically as close to the processor as possible.
