Steve, yes that sounds reasonable, when looking thru PCI-SIG presentations,
it's clear that the fixed -3.5 dB de-emphasis for PCI Express Gen 1, was
made as an trade-off, with respect to target channels where it is supposed
to be used.
Are there any other SerDes interface standards besides PCI Express Gen 1 &
2, that has default tap settings?
