Chapter 3: Transmitter
TX Configurable Driver
Functional Description
The GTP transceiver TX driver is a high-speed current-mode differential output buffer. To
maximize signal integrity, it includes these features:
• Differential voltage control
• Pre-cursor and post-cursor transmit pre-emphasis
• Calibrated termination resistors
Ports and Attributes
Table 3-28 defines the TX configurable driver ports.

Port Dir Clock Domain Description
TXBUFDIFFCTRL[2:0] In Async Pre-driver Swing Control. The default is 3’b100 (nominal value).
Do not modify this value.
TXDEEMPH In TXUSRCLK2 TX de-emphasis control for PCI Express PIPE 2.0 interface. This signal is
mapped internally to TXPOSTCURSOR via attributes.
0: 6.0 dB de-emphasis (TX_DEEMPH_0[4:0] attribute)
1: 3.5 dB de-emphasis (TX_DEEMPH_1[4:0] attribute)
