Overview
The AT78C5081 is a stand-alone Serial ATA physical layer that is designed based on
SATA Standard revision 1.0a. The parallel interface to the link layer is based on a 10-
bit interface in both rising and falling edges of the clock. The device also accepts two
10-bit 8b/10b encoded transmit characters in parallel and latches them on the rising
edge of TBC. The serialized data is transmitted onto the TXP/TXN differential outputs
at a baud rate twenty times that of the TBC frequency. The device also samples serial
data received on the RXP/RXN differential inputs, recovers the clock and data, de-
serializes it into one or two 10-bit receive characters in parallel. The recovered clock is
sent out at one twentieth of the incoming data rate. The receiver includes the squelch
detector, out of band (OOB) signal detector, and is capable of detecting "Comma"
characters. This transceiver contains on-chip PLLs circuitry for synthesis of the trans-
mitting clock and extraction of the clock from the received serial stream. The transmit
PLL is also responsible for link layer reference clock generation (ASIC_CK). The cir-
cuit requires only one external component, the reference resistor. An additional on-
chip serial port interface is employed to adjust the performance of certain blocks or to
