txsynchd0[1:0]
O
For Gen3 operation, specifies the block type. The following encodings are
defined:
■
2'b01: Ordered Set Block
■
2'b10: Data Block
txdataskip0
O
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
rxblkst0
I
For Gen3 operation, indicates the start of a block.
rxsynchd0[1:0]
I
For Gen3 operation, specifies the block type. The following encodings are
defined:
■
2'b01: Ordered Set Block
■
2'b10: Data Block
rxdataskip0
I
For Gen3 operation. Allows the PCS to instruct the RX interface to ignore
the RX data interface for one clock cycle. The following encodings are
defined:
■
1’b0: RX data is invalid
■
1’b1: RX data is valid
