The transmitter pre-emphasis (PRE_EMPHASIS) feature allows pre-emphasis on the drivers for certain I/O standards. This attribute must be used in conjunction with ENABLE_PRE_EMPHASIS.

The allowed values for the PRE_EMPHASIS attribute are:

PRE_EMPHASIS = RDRV_NONE (default)

PRE_EMPHASIS = RDRV_240 (where ENABLE_PRE_EMPHASIS must be set to TRUE)

The PRE_EMPHASIS attribute uses the following syntax in the XDC file:

set_property PRE_EMPHASIS value [get_ports port_name ]

A typical pre-emphasis gain when using the PRE_EMPHASIS attribute in a DDR4 application with an OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE of 40 is listed in Table: Typical Pre-emphasis Gain when Using the PRE_EMPHASIS Attribute in a DDR4 Application .
