TX Phase Compensation FIFO
The TX phase compensation FIFO compensates for the phase difference between the
low-speed parallel clock and the FPGA fabric interface clock, when interfacing the
transmitter channel to the FPGA fabric (directly or through the PIPE and
PCIe hard IP). The FIFO is four words deep, with latency between two to three
parallel clock cycles.
shows the TX phase compensation FIFO block
diagram.

The FIFO can operate in registered mode, contributing to only one parallel clock cycle
of latency in Deterministic Latency functional mode. For more information, refer to
“Deterministic Latency Mode” on page 1–73
.

For more information about FIFO clocking, refer to
Interface Clocking” on page 1–43
.
Byte Serializer
The byte serializer divides the input datapath width by two to allow transmitter
channel operation at higher data rates while meeting the maximum FPGA fabric
frequency limit. This module is required in configurations that exceed the maximum
FPGA fabric-transceiver interface clock frequency limit and optional in configurations
that do not.

For the FPGA fabric-transceiver interface frequency specifications, refer to the

(1) The x refers to the supported 8-, 10-, 16-, or 20-bits transceiver channel width.
