   Cyclone® 10 GX transceiver channels have three types of PCS blocks that together support continuous data rates between of 1.0 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps
| PCS Type | Data Rate | 
|---|---|
| Standard PCS | 1.0 Gbps up to 12.5 Gbps | 
| Enhanced PCS | 1.0 Gbps up to 12.5 Gbps | 
    Note: The GX channel can also operate in PCS Direct configuration for data rates from 611 Mbps to 12.5 Gbps.
