15.5.3. 10G PCS Interface

The following figure illustrates the top-level signals of the 10G PCS. If you enable both the 10G PCS and Standard PCS your top‑level HDL file includes all the interfaces for both.

Figure 83. Arria V Native PHY 10G PCS Interfaces

The following table describes the signals available for the 10G PCS datapath. When you enable both the 10G and Standard datapaths, both sets of signals are included in the top‑level HDL file for the Native PHY.

Note: In the following table, the column labeled “Synchronous to tx_10_coreclkin/rx_10g_coreclkin” refers to cases where the phase compensation FIFO is not in register mode.
