20110106997 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTERCONNECTING SAS/SATA DEVICES USING EITHER ELECTRICAL OR OPTICAL TRANSCEIVERS - Methods and apparatus for interconnecting Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) devices using either an electrical communication medium or an optical communication medium. Each device includes an out of band (OOB) encoder/decoder (endec) logic component to translate between standard OOB signals used by the devices and digitally encoded OOB signals exchanged over the communication medium. Thus the devices may be coupled using either optical or electrical cabling. The digitally encoded OOB signals may also be scrambled to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated during OOB communications using the digitally encoded OOB signals. The scrambled digitally encoded OOB signals may comprise information regarding capabilities of the device that generated the underlying OOB signal. Such information may indicate to the other high speed device certain capabilities of the transmitting device—the information to be used in establishing logical connections between devices. | 05-05-2011 |
