DATASHEET
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.
8.2.1.30 Register FAh: Port Swap
BIT
NUMBER BIT NAME DESCRIPTION
7:6 BOOST_IOUT_4 USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream Port ‘4’.
‘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)
5:4 BOOST_IOUT_3 USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream Port ‘3’.
‘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)
3:2 BOOST_IOUT_2 USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream Port ‘2’.
‘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)
1:0 BOOST_IOUT_1 USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream Port ‘1’.
‘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)
BIT
NUMBER BIT NAME DESCRIPTION
7:0 PRTSP Port Swap: Swaps the Upstream and Downstream USB DP and DM Pins for
ease of board routing to devices and connectors.
‘0’ = USB D+ functionality is associated with the DP pin and D- functionality
is associated with the DM pin.
‘1’ = USB D+ functionality is associated with the DM pin and D- functionality
is associated with the DP pin.
Bit 7= Controls Port 7
Bit 6= Controls Port 6
Bit 5= Controls Port 5
Bit 4= Controls Port 4
Bit 3= Controls Port 3
Bit 2= Controls Port 2
Bit 1= Controls Port 1
Bit 0= When this bit is ‘1’, the upstream port DP/DM is swapped.
