SLLA565 September 2021 TUSB1044
The TUSB1044 receiver equalization (EQ) is to compensate for channel insertion loss and inter-symbol interference in the system. The receiver overcomes these losses by attenuating the low-frequency components of the signals with respect to the high-frequency components. Each channel has a receiver equalizer with selectable gain settings as shown in Table 2-4. Set equalization control for upstream and downstream facing ports using the UEQ[1:0], and DEQ[1:0] pins, respectively.
Figure 2-1 shows the TUSB1044 equalization settings.
Using the given trace lengths and data rate referring to the Figure 2-2 example, the method to select the equalization values for upstream and downstream EQ is to select the closest EQ gain value available to match the trace loss as follows:
In the I2C mode, the equalization settings for each receiver can be independently controlled through I2C registers. For this reason, all of the equalization pins (UEQ[1:0] and DEQ[1:0]) can be left unconnected. If a different I2C slave address is desired, UEQ1/A1 and UEQ0/A0 pins should be set to a level other than âFâ which produces the desired I2C slave address.
