What is OOB?
Out-Of-Band Signals
A series of bursts and gaps used to communicate before
SATA devices have performed speed negotiation
Bursts made from D24.3 characters
Gaps are made from electric idle

SATA Phy OOB Requirements

What is OOB?
Proper OOB detection critical for devices to properly
initialize, or wake up from low power states.
3 OOB signals in SATA

COMINIT (sent by Device only)

COMRESET (sent by Host only)

COMRESET Signal is the same as COMINIT Signal,

but is referred to as COMRESET when transmitted
by a Host.

COMWAKE (Sent by Host or Device)

SATA Phy OOB Requirements

OOB Signals
Detection of COMINIT/RESET or COMWAKE determined
by different Gap times
COMINIT/RESET and COMWAKE have the same burst
time
OOB Signals Meaureed in OOBI (Out Of Band Interval)

Equivalent to the Gen1 SATA UI

UI = Unit Interval, time for 1 bit

646.7 ps < t < 686.67 ps

OOB-01
Determines whether a product properly ignores OOB
signals that are too small, and that a product properly
detecst OOB signals that are properly sized.
