5.2.8. Ten-bit Interface

In PCS variations without embedded PMA, the PCS function implements a TBI to an external SERDES.

On transmit, the SERDES must serialize tbi_tx_d[0], the least significant bit of the TBI output bus first and tbi_tx_d[9], the most significant bit of the TBI output bus last to ensure the remote node receives the data correctly, as illustrated in the following figure.

On receive, the SERDES must serialize the TBI least significant bit first and the TBI most significant bit last, as illustrated in the following figure.
