14.6.3. Byte Serializer and Deserializer

The byte serializer and deserializer allow the PCS to operate at twice the data width of the PMA serializer. This feature allows the PCS to run at a lower frequency and accommodate a wider range of FPGA interface widths.
Note: For more information refer to the Byte Serializer and Byte Deserializer sections in the Transceiver Architecture in Arria V Devices.

Description

Enable TX byte serializer

On/Off

When you turn this option On, the PCS includes a TX byte serializer which allows the PCS to run at a lower clock frequency to accommodate a wider range of FPGA interface widths.

Enable RX byte deserializer

On/Off

When you turn this option On, the PCS includes an RX byte deserializer which allows the PCS to run at a lower clock frequency to accommodate a wider range of FPGA interface widths.
