Primary Differences
R
Serial Rate Support
As the Xilinx transceivers continue to migrate, so do the supported serial rates.
shows the rates supported by each MGT and GTP transceiver.
Encoding Support and Clock Multipliers
Protocol encoding support and clock multiplier support vary depending on the transceiver
generation.
shows the encoding support available in each MGT and GTP
transceiver.
