CBTL02042A switching application for mSATA, PCIe Mini-Card
Note that PCB routing using a CBTL04082A/CBTL04083A is more difficult to implement
than using two CBTL02042As. Signals from a PCI Express controller are connected to
pin 26 to pin 29 of CBTL04082A/CBTL04083A, but these pins are encapsulated by SATA
signals connecting between pins 22 to 25 and pins 31 to 34. Multiple vias are necessary
to route PCI Express signals in this case, and using additional vias usually implies that
extra insertion loss needs to be accounted for. PCB routing using two CBTL02042As
topology will have a smoother high-speed signal flow without using any via. In addition,
SATA and PCI Express signals are typically coming from the same Platform Controller
Hub (PCH) located in the middle of the motherboard, and connectors are located on the
board edge. The configuration shown in
keeps signals to the controllers and to
the connectors on the opposite sides of the multiplexers and fits this layout profile
perfectly.
When an mSATA device is not inserted in the Mini-Card/mSATA connector, SATA signals
should be re-directed to the SATA HDD connector, regardless if a Mini-Card device is
present or not.
summarizes all possible combinations of devices inserted in the
Mini-Card/mSATA and SATA HDD connectors.
