DATASHEET
Note: “Boost” could result in non-USB Compliant parameters, OEM should use a ‘00’ value unless
specific implementation issues require additional signal boosting to correct for degraded USB
signalling levels.
8.2.1.29 Register F8h: Boost_4:0
Note: “Boost” could result in non-USB Compliant parameters, OEM should use a ‘00’ value unless
specific implementation issues require additional signal boosting to correct for degraded USB
signalling levels.
1:0 BOOST_IOUT_5 USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream Port ‘5’.
‘00’ = Normal electrical drive strength = No boost
‘01’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Low (~4% boost)
‘10’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Medium (~ 8% boost)
‘11’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = High (~12% boost)
