PRODUCTION DATA.
The high-speed serial-output drivers incorporate a configurable pre-emphasis feature. This feature allows the output drive waveform to be optimized for different PCB materials and signal transmission distances. The pre-emphasis setting is adjusted through the serializer pre-emphasis setting in register 0x040, bits 3 to 0. The default setting is 4d. Higher values will increase the pre-emphasis to compensate for more lossy PCB materials. This adjustment is best used in conjunction with an eye-diagram analysis capability in the receiver. The pre-emphasis setting should be adjusted to optimize the eye-opening for the hardware configuration and line rates needed.
