Custom Configuration Channel Options
There are multiple channel options when you use Custom Configuration.
The supported interface width varies depending on the usage of the byte serializer/deserializer (SERDES),
and the 8B/10B encoder or decoder. The byte serializer or deserializer is assumed to be enabled. Otherwise,
the maximum data rate supported is half of the specified value.
The maximum supported data rate varies depending on the customization.
Table 5-1: Maximum Supported Data Rate
The following table shows the maximum supported data rate for the fastest speed grade in Standard PCS (transceiver
speed grade 6) for Cyclone V GX and SX devices, and (transceiver speed grade 5) for Cyclone V GT and ST devices.
