The SATA 6G PHY is a complete mixed-signal semiconductor intellectual property (IP) solution, designed for single-chip integration into SATA 6G applications. The SATA 6G PHY sata6g_pma_xN includes all the necessary logical, geometric, and physical design files to implement complete SATA 6G physical layer capability for 6-Gbps operation, connecting a host or device controller to a SATA system. The SATA 6G PHY supports the SATA 6-Gbps protocol and data rate, and is backward-compatible with SATA Gen I and Gen II operating at 1.5-Gbps and 3.0-Gbps data rates.
