A.1
Overview
The Tsi384 has programmable drive strength and transmit boost (pre-emphasis), and receiver
equalization. This functionality is described in the following sections.
A.2
Transmit Drive Level and Equalization
The Tsi384’s programmable drive strength and transmit boost accommodates for electrical
characteristics that can degrade the signal quality of a link connected to the Tsi384. Decreasing the
drive strength of signals also provides the ability to reduce the power consumption of its PCIe port.
The drive strength of each lane can be controlled through TX_LVL in the
, and TX_BOOST in the
“PCIe Output Status and Transmit Override Register”
The transmit boost functionality can be programmed by TX_BOOST in the
. The TX_BOOST field controls the drive level of subsequent
non-transitional bits with respect to the transitional ones. The amount of boost is specified as a ratio of
the boost drive strength to the TX_LVL drive strength, in steps of ~0.37dB.
The formula for calculating the TX_BOOST is shown in
“PCIe Output Status and Transmit Override
The information in this appendix is for reference purposes only. Typical Tsi384-based designs
do not require changes to the default settings for transmit drive level or receive equalization.
The Nominal Drive Level is 1.0 V +/-10%.
TheTX_LVL[4:0] field affects the Tx signal swing. For normal operation, set TX_LVL to a
minimum of 1 V; for long reach compliance, set TX_LVL up to 1.26 V.
