For integration with the FPGA fabric, the full-duplex transceiver channel supports custom configuration
with physical medium attachment (PMA) and physical coding sublayer (PCS).
You can customize the transceiver with one of the following configurations:
• Standard PCS— Physical coding sublayer (PCS) and physical medium attachment (PMA)
• Standard PCS in low latency mode— Low latency PCS and PMA
