Signals Description

Name Type Description
GPP_​E4 / SATA_​DEVSLP0 OD Serial ATA Port [0] Device Sleep: This is an open-drain pin on the PCH side. PCH will tri- state this pin to signal to the SATA device that it may enter a lower power state (pin will go high due to Pull-up that's internal to the SATA device, per DEVSLP specification). PCH will drive pin low to signal an exit from DEVSLP state.

Design Constraint: no external Pull-up or Pull-down termination required when used as DEVSLP.

Note:This pin can be mapped to SATA Port 0.
GPP_​E5 / SATA_​DEVSLP1 OD Serial ATA Port [1] Device Sleep: This is an open-drain pin on the PCH side. PCH will tri- state this pin to signal to the SATA device that it may enter a lower power state (pin will go high due to Pull-up that's internal to the SATA device, per DEVSLP specification). PCH will drive pin low to signal an exit from DEVSLP state.

Design Constraint: no external Pull-up or Pull-down termination required when used as DEVSLP. Note: This pin can be mapped to SATA Port 1.

Note:This pin can be mapped to SATA Port 1.
PCIE11_​TXN / SATA0_​TXN

PCIE11_​TXP / SATA0_​TXP

O Serial ATA Differential Transmit Pair 0: These outbound SATA Port 0 high-speed differential signals support 1.5 Gb/s, 3 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s.
PCIE11_​RXN / SATA0_​RXN

PCIE11_​RXP / SATA0_​RXP

I Serial ATA Differential Receive Pair 0: These inbound SATA Port 0 high-speed differential signals support 1.5 Gb/s, 3 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s.
PCIE12_​TXN / SATA1_​TXN

PCIE12_​TXP / SATA1_​TXP

O Serial ATA Differential Transmit Pair 1 :These outbound SATA Port 1 high-speed differential signals support 1.5 Gb/s, 3 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s.
PCIE12_​RXN / SATA1_​RXN

PCIE12_​RXP / SATA1_​RXP

I Serial ATA Differential Receive Pair 1: These inbound SATA Port 1 high-speed differential signals support 1.5 Gb/s, 3 Gb/s and 6 Gb/s.
GPP_​E0 / SATAXPCIE0 / SATAGP0 I Serial ATA Port [0] General Purpose Inputs: When configured as SATAGP0, this is an input pin that is used as an interlock switch status indicator for SATA Port 0. Drive the pin to '0' to indicate that the switch is closed and to '1' to indicate that the switch is open. Note:The default use of this pin is GPP_​E0. Pin defaults to Native mode as SATAXPCIE0 depends on soft-strap.
GPP_​A12 / SATAXPCIE1 / SATAGP1 I Serial ATA Port [1] General Purpose Inputs: When configured as SATAGP1, this is an input pin that is used as an interlock switch status indicator for SATA Port 1. Drive the pin to '0' to indicate that the switch is closed and to '1' to indicate that the switch is open. Note:This default use of this pin is GPP_​A12. Pin defaults to Native mode as SATAXPCIE1 depends on soft-strap.
GPP_​B14 / SPKR / TIME_​SYNC1 / SATA_​LED# / ISH_​GP6 OD Serial ATA LED: This signal is an open-drain output pin driven during SATA command activity. It is to be connected to external circuitry that can provide the current to drive a platform LED. When active, the LED is on. When tri-stated, the LED is off. Note:An external Pull-up resistor to VCC3_​3 is required.
