Hello,

I have a SATA SSD M.2. I need to connect this to my other module on PCB.

my confusion is, I have read somewhere that SATA pin TX & RX is connected to other device RX&TX and some where it is written to connect SATA TX to other device TX.


help me to solve this confusion, if SATA SSD M.2 TX is connected to other device TX or other device RX?


Thanks
 

SATA A/B assignment on the M2 connector should be according to the usage with standard SATA connector.

 

Hello, Thanks for the reply.
you mean to say TX+ should be connected to RX+ and TX- connected to RX-?
but sometimes it is written that TX+ should be connected to TX- and RX+ connected to RX-.

like in this image
 

Physically, you always cross connect RX (receiver) and TX (driver). I presume you already know this.

The question is, does the designation of a certain pin pair refer to host or devices side. It's very clear in the original SATA documents, but it's not clear at first sight in your posted snippet. You didn't clarify the context.
 


FvM has already mentioned above, I repeat...

You should only follow what is written in the SATA spec.
As I know, for the SATA Transceivers used, the TX & RX of the SATA Host is connected to SATA Device RX & TX.
 


the snippet which i posted here is the device and SATA SSD M.2 is the host. according to SATA spec, like in the snippet it says TX+ is connected to TX+, that's why I am having confusion.

SATA spec is for the the standard SATA pinout (7pin & 15pin). confusion is about the SSD. the snippet I posted there it mention the SATA spec for 7 pin, not for SSD
