For integration with the FPGA fabric, the full-duplex transceiver channel supports custom configuration
with physical medium attachment (PMA) and physical coding sublayer (PCS).
You can customize the transceiver with one of the following configurations:
• Standard PCS— Physical coding sublayer (PCS) and physical medium attachment (PMA)
• Standard PCS in low latency mode— Low latency PCS and PMA
Figure 5-1: Custom Configuration Options
Up to 5 Gbps with PCS (Standard PCS and low latency mode)
- 5 Gbps channels are available in GT and ST device variants

Standard PCS Configuration

In this configuration, you can customize the transceiver channel to include a PMA and PCS with functions
that your application requires. The transceiver channel interfaces with the FPGA fabric through the PCS.
