Transceiver PHY Control and Status Registers
The TX serial rate (PCS clock) is based on the input transceiver reference clock and should be precise and
stable. The RX serial rate is recovered from the remote system. The RX serial clock typically shows some
instability during lock acquisition.
In variations that target a Stratix IV device, the registers in the transceiver PHY provide dynamic access to
the analog configuration capability on a per channel (pin) basis. You can also use these registers to place
the transceivers in loopback mode for diagnostic or error injection testing. In loopback mode, the TX
output connects to the corresponding RX channel.
