Signal
Direction
Description
txcompl0
Output
Transmit compliance
disparity to negative in compliance mode (negative COM
character).
txdata0[31:0]
Output
Transmit data. This bus transmits data on lane
txdatak0[3:0]
Output
Transmit data control
for
txdata
rxdata
, and so on. A value of 0 indicates a data byte. A value of 1
indicates a control byte. For Gen1 and Gen2 only.
txdataskip0
Output
For Gen3 operation. Allows the MAC to instruct the TX interface
to ignore the TX data interface for one clock cycle. The following
encodings are defined:
• 1’b0: TX data is invalid
• 1’b1: TX data is valid
txdeemph0
Output
Transmit de-emphasis selection. The value for this signal is set
based on the indication received from the other end of the link
during the Training Sequences (TS). You do not need to change
this value.
txdetectrx0
Output
Transmit detect receive
start a receive detection operation or to begin loopback.
txelecidle0
Output
Transmit electrical idle
electrical idle.
tx_margin0[2:0]
Output
Transmit V
OD
margin selection. The value for this signal is based
on the value from the
Link Control 2
Register
. Available for
simulation only.
txswing0
Output
When asserted, indicates full swing for the transmitter voltage.
When deasserted indicates half swing.
txsynchd0[1:0]
Output
For Gen3 operation, specifies the block type. The following
encodings are defined:
• 2'b01: Ordered Set Block
• 2'b10: Data Block
