    摘要: An electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shield adapted to reduce unwanted EMI/RFI from a shielded cable assembly—equipment enclosure interface. The EMI/RFI shield includes one or more conductive walls extending substantially perpendicular from an outer surface of the shielded enclosure. The one or more walls are positioned adjacent to sides of a panel-mounted connector. Each of the walls includes an EMI/RFI gasket segment coupled thereto, each gasket segment positioned to engage compressibly a respective side of a shielded cable assembly when it is coupled to the panel-mounted connector. Each engaged side of the shielded cable assembly is in electrically conductive contact with the shielded equipment enclosure through the respective EMI/RFI gasket segment and adjoining wall. Additionally, the EMI/RFI shield provides mechanical support to the interconnected cable assembly further reducing EMI/RFI by improving alignment of the coupled connector.

The detection function operates such that receivers having type two termination are not detected as type one protocol receivers. A type two protocol device receiver has type two termination. Logic is coupled between the type two protocol device receiver and the type one protocol device transmitter so that the type one protocol device transmitter detection function detects the type two protocol device receiver as a type one protocol receiver. The type one protocol device can be a PCI-E device, and the type two protocol device can be a SAS/SATA device.

In one embodiment, an input voltage to a DAE is detected and a control signal corresponding to the input voltage is generated. The control signal is input to a voltage selection device that inputs an operating voltage corresponding to the control signal to the operating voltage supply of the DAE.

    摘要: A relatively low frequency signal—e.g. RS-232—is coupled to and extracted from a communication link that carries both a high frequency continuous signal and burst mode signal having bursts occurring at one or more frequencies—e.g. SAS with OOB signaling. The communication link has a differential coupling which differentially couples onto a first pair of conductors a continuous signal at a continuous rate and a burst mode signal having bursts occurring at one or more frequencies. The communication link also has a common mode coupling which common mode couples a second signal onto the first pair of conductors. A high pass filter coupled to the first pair of conductors extracts the continuous signal and the burst mode signal from the first pair of conductors. A low pass filter coupled to the first pair of conductors extracts the second signal from the first pair of conductors.
