Use the pipe_g3_txdeemph[17:0] port to select the transmitter de-emphasis. The 18 bits specify the following coefficients:

  • [5:0]: C-1
  • [11:6]: C0
  • [17:12]: C+1

The PCIe Gen3 full swing (FS) value is 60, and the PCIe Gen3 low frequency (LF) value is 20.

Intel recommends transmitting Preset P8 coefficients for the Stratix® 10 receiver to recover data successfully.

38 The VOD setting is fixed at 31 (for example, FS/2 + 1 = 60/2 + 1) for both full-swing mode operation and reduced-swing mode operation. FS denotes the Full Swing value.
