Stratix II GX Transceiver Architecture Overview

Control Detect

The 8B/10B decoder indicates to the PLD logic array the difference 
between data and control codes through the 

rx_ctrldetect

 port. This 

port is optional but, if not in use, there is no way to differentiate a Dx.y 
from a Kx.y. 

In double-width mode, the 

rx_ctrldetect

 port is 2-bits wide inside 

the PCS. The lower bit indicates if the LSByte is a control word or data, 
and the upper bit indicates if the MSByte is a control word or data. When 
a control word is decoded, the corresponding 

rx_ctrldetect

 bit goes 

high. For data, the corresponding 

rx_ctrldetect

 bit goes low. The 

rx_ctrldetect

 port in the PLD logic array is edge-aligned with the 

code group it is associated with.

Figure 2–88

 shows an example waveform that shows the receipt of a 

K28.5 code (BC + ctrl). The 

rx_ctrldetect=2'b1

 is aligned with 8’hbc 

on the LSByte, indicating that it is a control code. The 8’hbc on the MSByte 
is a data, not a control word. The rest of the codes received are Dk.y 
control codes.

Figure 2–88. Control Code Detection

Reset

The reset for the 8B/10B decoder block is derived from the receiver digital 
reset (

rx_digitalreset

). When 

rx_digitalreset

 is asserted, the 

8B/10B decoder block resets. In reset, the disparity registers are cleared 
and the outputs of the 8B/10B decoder block are driven low. After reset, 
the 8B/10B decoder starts with either a positive or negative disparity, 
depending on the disparity of the data it receives. The decoder calculates 
the initial running disparity based on the first valid code received. 

1

The receiver block must be word aligned after reset before the 
8B/10B decoder can decode valid data or control codes. If word 
alignment has not been achieved, the data from the 8B/10B 
decoder is discarded and considered invalid.
