1.3.1. Transmitter PCS Datapath

Table 11.  Blocks in the Transmitter PCS Datapath
Block Functionality
Transmitter Phase Compensation FIFO
  • Compensates for the phase difference between the low-speed parallel clock and the FPGA fabric interface clock, when interfacing the transmitter PCS with the FPGA fabric directly or with the PCIe hard IP block
  • Supports operation in phase compensation and registered modes
Byte Serializer
  • Halves the FPGA fabric–transceiver interface frequency at the transmitter channel by doubling the transmitter input datapath width
  • Allows the transmitter channel to operate at higher data rates with the FPGA fabric–transceiver interface frequency that is within the maximum limit
  • Supports operation in single- and double-width modes
8B/10B Encoder
  • Generates 10-bit code groups from 8-bit data and the 1-bit control identifier in compliance with Clause 36 of the IEEE 802.3 specification
  • Supports operation in single- and double-width modes and running disparity control
Transmitter Bit-Slip
  • Enables user-controlled, bit-level delay in the data prior to serialization for serial transmission
  • Supports operation in single- and double-width modes
