The Standard PCS requires a specific word alignment for the PRBS pattern. You must specify a word
alignment pattern in the verifier that matches the generator pattern specified. In the Standard PCS, PRBS
patterns available depend upon the PCS-PMA width. The following table below illustrates the patterns are
available based upon the PCS-PMA width.
