8.5.4.6 Grounding
Each TMDS channel has its own shield pin and they should be grounded to provide a return current path
for the TMDS signal.
8.5.5 SATA Board Design and Layout Guidelines
The device provides one SATA port. This section provides the timing specification for the SATA interface
as a PCB design and manufacturing specification. The design rules constrain PCB trace length, PCB trace
skew, signal integrity, cross-talk, and signal timing. TI has performed the simulation and system design
work to ensure the SATA interface requirements are met.
8.5.5.1 SATA Interface Schematic
Figure 8-36 shows the data portion of the SATA interface schematic.

NOTE
AC coupling capacitors (C) are required on the receive and transmit data pairs. Table 8-16
shows the requirements for these capacitors.

EIA(1)(2)
(1) EIA LxW units, i.e., a 0402 is a 40x20 mils surface mount capacitor.
(2) The physical size of the capacitor should be as small as practical. Use the same size on both lines in each pair placed side by side.
8.5.5.2 Compatible SATA Components and Modes
Table 8-17 shows the compatible SATA components and supported modes. Note that the only supported
configuration is an internal cable from the processor host to the SATA device.
