Description
Full Swing Value (FS)
FS is used to calculate the transmitter coefficients during
Equalization. Default is 62d.
Note: all equalization presets’ coefficients have been calculated
using the default FS value of 62d. If FS is changed, the preset
tables located in EQPRESET* registers may need to be re-
programmed to fulfill FS.

FS = |Cm1| + C0 + |Cp1|
(C0 > 0)
Low Frequency Value (LF)
LF is used to calculate the transmitter coefficients during
Equalization. Default is 20d.
Note: All equalization presets’ coefficients have been calculated
using the default LF value of 20d. If LF is changed, the preset
tables located in EQPRESET* registers may need to be re-
programmed to fulfill LF.

Bypass Phase 2 Equalization (EQPH2BYP)
If set, after Phase 1 is complete, the LTSSM will bypass Phase 2
and 3 of equalization.

Gen3 Bypass Levels (G3BYPLVL)
If this bit is set, the Tx Eq Levels will be bypassed only during
Gen3. The values of the bypass levels are found in the port
EQBYPLVLBND* registers.
When this bit is set, Phase 2 and Phase 3 equalization is expected
to be bypassed.

Global Bypass Levels (GLBBYPLVL)
If this bit is set, the Tx Eq Levels will be bypassed for all speeds.
The values of the bypass levels are found in the port
EQBYPLVLBND* registers.
When this bit is set, Phase 2 and Phase 3 equalization is expected
to be bypassed.
