2.1.1. PMA
Each PMA channel offers exceptional signal integrity capability for NRZ transmission across various supported protocols and proprietary serial interfaces. The PMA includes transmit and receive buffers, serializer/deserializer, built-in debug features, individual TX PLL, and RX CDR PLL for independent channel operations. The PMA also has a control unit which is a firmware wrapper for RX adaptation, AN/LT for Ethernet and on-die instrumentation (ODI) functions. The independent transmitter and receiver supports combining simplex protocols implementations into a channel.
