De-emphasized signals are used to adapt the signal waveform to the
characteristics of real transmission lines as found on printed circuit boards. They
can considerably reduce the impact of Intersymbol Interference (ISI) and hence
allow longer signal paths. De-emphasized signals are prescribed by a couple of
popular standards for high-speed data transmission.
