Hi everyone,
The attached screenshot shows a SATA redriver.
It is located between the mSATA drive and the PCH.
Pins 11,12 and 14,15 are the differential pairs coming from/to (bidirectional) the mSATA drive.
Pins 5,4 and 2,1 are the differential pairs coming from/to (bidirectional) the PCH.
You have noticed that pins 11,5 - 12,4 ... are on a vertical line.
I would like to create 2 variants: the first one is defined using the SATA redriver, the second one is defined removing everything and adding jumpers between pins 11,5 - 12,4 - 14,2 - 15,1 giving 4 jumpers.
Is it possible to do it with the shortest length ?
I guess not, the solution would be to place the jumpers beside the chip and not in the middle.
