1 The BURST_SIZE for Basic mode approaches infinity, hence a large number is used.
2 In Full mode, the BURST_SIZE_OVHD size is inclusive of the START/END paired Control Words in a data stream.
3 For Basic mode, BURST_SIZE_OVHD is 0 because there is no START/END during streaming.
4 Refer to Link Rate and Bandwidth Efficiency Calculation for bandwidth efficiency calculation.
5 Refer to Link Rate and Bandwidth Efficiency Calculation for effective rate calculation.
6 Refer to Link Rate and Bandwidth Efficiency Calculation for maximum user clock frequency calculation.
