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. Table 13–13 describes the byte
serialization and deserialization options you can specify.
f For more information refer to the Byte Serializer and Byte Deserializer sections in the
Transceiver Architecture in Arria V Devices.
Byte order pad value (hex)
User–specified
8-10 bit pattern
Specifies the pad pattern that is inserted by the byte ordering
block. This value is inserted when the byte order pattern is
recognized.
The byte ordering pattern should occupy the least significant byte
(LSB) of the parallel TX data. If the byte ordering block identifies
the programmed byte ordering pattern in the most significant
byte (MSB) of the byte-deserialized data, it inserts the appropriate
number of user-specified pad bytes to push the byte ordering
pattern to the LSB position, restoring proper byte ordering.
Enable rx_std_byteorder_ena
port
On/Off
Enables the optional
rx_std_byte_order_ena
control input
port. When this signal is asserted, the byte ordering block
initiates a byte ordering operation if the Byte ordering control
mode is set to manual. Once byte ordering has occurred, you
must deassert and reassert this signal to perform another byte
ordering operation. This signal is an synchronous input signal;
however, it must be asserted for at least 1 cycle of
rx_std_clkout
.
Enable rx_std_byteorder_flag
port
On/Off
Enables the optional
rx_std_byteorder_flag
status output
port. When asserted, indicates that the byte ordering block has
performed a byte order operation. This signal is asserted on the
clock cycle in which byte ordering occurred. This signal is
synchronous to the
rx_std_clkout
clock.

Parameter Range Description
Table 13–13. Byte Serializer and Deserializer Parameters
Parameter Range 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.
