Programmable Pre-Emphasis
The programmable pre-emphasis module controls the output driver to
boost the high frequency components, to compensate for losses in the
transmission medium, as shown in Figure 2–8. The pre-emphasis can be
dynamically or statically set. There are five possible pre-emphasis
settings (1 through 5), with 5 being the highest and 0 being no
pre-emphasis.
