Chapter 3
Transmitter
This chapter shows how to congure and use each of the funconal blocks inside the transmier
(TX). Each transceiver includes an independent transmier, which consist of a PCS and a PMA.
The following gure shows the funconal blocks of the transmier. Parallel data ows from the
device logic into the TX interface through the PCS and PMA, and then out the TX driver as high-
speed serial data.
