Problems solved by technology

[0002] Hard drives on the market are becoming more and more diverse, thus causing compatibility issues
Among them, when the hard disk and the host are connected by a serial advanced additional interface, it is easy to fail to identify each other correctly during the connection handshake stage because the signals of each other are affected by the process and the environment, which leads to the failure of the connection.
Once the connection fails, although you can try again by resetting or re-handshaking, even if it succeeds, the connection speed specification may still be reduced due to the design of some hard drives

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Please refer to figure 1 . figure 1 It is a block diagram of a first electronic device 100 and a second electronic device 102 in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first electronic device 100 is a host. In one embodiment, the second electronic device 102 is any device that can be electrically coupled with the first electronic device 100 , such as but not limited to a hard disk. Therefore, the first electronic device 100 is a master, and the second electronic device 102 is a slave.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 102 are connected by a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) technology interface.

[0018] Please refer to figure 2 . figure 2 It is a timing diagram of signals transmitted between the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 102 in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] Such as figure 2 As shown, when the first electr...

Abstract

The invention relates to an interface connection device and method. An interface connection device, set in a first electronic device, includes: an analog physical layer circuit, a waveform generation circuit and a media access control circuit. The analog physical layer circuit receives an analog handshake signal from the second electronic device, and generates a digital handshake signal accordingly. The waveform generating circuit judges whether the number of pulse wave parameters contained in the digital handshake signal matches the preset pulse wave parameter range reaches the preset number of times, and generates a digital output signal when the default number of times is reached, wherein the output pulse of the digital output signal The output pulse wave parameters of the wave are consistent with the preset pulse wave parameter range. When the media access control circuit receives the digital output signal, it judges that the analog handshake signal is valid, so as to continue the handshake.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an interface connection technology, and in particular to an interface connection device and method. Background technique [0002] The hard drives on the market are becoming more and more diverse, which causes compatibility issues. Among them, when the hard disk and the host computer are connected by a serial advanced additional interface, it is easy to fail to correctly identify each other's signals during the connection handshake stage due to the influence of the manufacturing process and the environment, resulting in connection failure. Once the connection fails, although you can try again by resetting or re-handshaking, even if it succeeds, the connection speed specification may still be lowered due to the design of some hard drives. [0003] Therefore, how to design a new interface connection device and method to solve the above-mentioned deficiency is an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. Contents of t...
