SATA Tee

The
BERTScope SATA Tee facilitates SATA compliance tests
by switching the product under test (PUT) I/O lines
between a protocol analyzer and the BERTScope. This
allows the Device Under Test (DUT) to be set to the
proper Built In Self Test (BIST) mode for testing
without disconnecting the SATA connector.
The PUT Transmit (Tx) outputs
are split with an asymmetrical splitter which sends
a small fraction of the signal through an amplifier
to the protocol Receiver (Rx) inputs. The majority
of the signal is sent to the BERTScope CR inputs.
This preserves the signal to noise ratio of the
PUT Tx signal at the BERTScope inputs.
The BERTScope Tx outputs are
connected to one side of a symmetrical 6 dB power
combiner. The protocol generator Tx outputs are
amplified and connected via a switch to the other
leg of the combiner. The common legs of the combiners
are connected to the PUT Rx inputs. When the switch
is set to the ‘BERTScope’
position, the protocol legs of the combiner
are terminated into 50 Ω.
