BIT
NUMBER BIT NAME DESCRIPTION
7:6 BOOST_IOUT_4 Upstream USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream
Port ‘4’.
‘00’ = Normal electrical drive strength = No boost
‘01’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Low (approximately 4% boost)
‘10’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Medium (approximately 8% boost)
‘11’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = High (approximately 12% boost)
Note: “Boost” could result in non-USB Compliant parameters (one
example would be Test J/K levels), the OEM should use a ‘00’
value unless specific implementation issues require additional
signal boosting to correct for degraded USB signalling levels.
5:4 BOOST_IOUT_3 Upstream USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream
Port ‘3’.
‘00’ = Normal electrical drive strength = No boost
‘01’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Low (approximately 4% boost)
‘10’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Medium (approximately 8% boost)
‘11’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = High (approximately 12% boost)
Note: “Boost” could result in non-USB Compliant parameters (one
example would be Test J/K levels), the OEM should use a ‘00’
value unless specific implementation issues require additional
signal boosting to correct for degraded USB signalling levels.
3:2 BOOST_IOUT_2 Upstream USB electrical signaling drive strength Boost Bit for Downstream
Port ‘2’.
‘00’ = Normal electrical drive strength = No boost
‘01’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Low (approximately 4% boost)
‘10’ = Elevated electrical drive strength = Medium (approximately 8% boost)
