5.12.12.1Margin Control Subpage (Sub Page 1 of Mode Page 19)

The Margin Control subpage (see Table 5-74)contains parameters that set and report margin control values for usage between the initiator/target pair on subsequent synchronous and paced transfers.

A MODE SELECT command will return the current settings for the initiator/target pair. Fields that are not implemented will be reported as zero.

Table 5-75Field Descriptions

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

Driver

The DRIVER STRENGTH field indicates the relative amount of driver source cur-

Strength

rently used by the driver. The Driver Strength field affects both the strong and week

 

drivers. A larger value indicates more driver source current.

Driver Pre-

The DRIVER PRECOMPENSATION field indicates the relative difference between

compensation

the weak driver and the strong driver amplitudes when precompensation is enabled.

 

A larger value indicates a larger difference between the weak and strong amplitudes.

Driver

The Driver Asymmetry field indicates the relative difference between the amplitudes

Asymmetry

of asserted and negated signals launched from the driver. A larger value indicates a

 

relatively stronger asserted signal compared to the negated signal.

Driver Slew

The DRIVER SLEW RATE field indicates the relative difference between the asser-

rate

tion and negation magnitudes divided by the rise or fall time. A larger value indicates

 

a faster slew rate.
