16.6.2. Byte Ordering Block Parameters
Because the timing of the RX PCS reset logic is indeterminate, the byte ordering at the output of the byte deserializer may or may not match the original byte ordering of the transmitted data.

Range |
Description |
||
---|---|---|---|---|
Enable RX byte ordering |
On/Off |
When you turn this option On, the PCS includes the byte ordering block. |
||
Byte ordering control mode |
Manual Auto |
Specifies the control mode for the byte ordering block. The following modes are available:
|
||
Byte ordering pattern width |
8–10 |
Shows width of the pattern that you must specify. This width depends upon the PCS width and whether or not 8B/10B encoding is used as follows: |
||
Width 8, 16,32 10, 20, 40 8, 16, 32 |
8B/10B No No Yes |
Pad Pattern 8 bits 10 bits 9 bits |
||
Byte ordering symbol count |
1–2 |
Specifies the number of symbols the word aligner should search for. When the PMA is 16 or 20 bits wide, the byte ordering block can optionally search for 1 or 2 symbols. |
||
Byte order pattern (hex) |
User-specified 8-10 bit pattern |
Specifies the search pattern for the byte ordering block. |
||
Byte order pad value (hex) |
User–specified 8-10 bit pattern |
Specifies the pad pattern that is inserted by the byte ordering block. This value is inserted when the byte order pattern is recognized. The byte ordering pattern should occupy the least significant byte (LSB) of the parallel TX data. If the byte ordering block identifies the programmed byte ordering pattern in the most significant byte (MSB) of the byte-deserialized data, it inserts the appropriate number of user-specified pad bytes to push the byte ordering pattern to the LSB position, restoring proper byte ordering. |
||
Enable rx_std_byteorder_ena port |
On/Off |
Enables the optional rx_std_byte_order_ena control input port. When this signal is asserted, the byte ordering block initiates a byte ordering operation if the Byte ordering control mode is set to manual. Once byte ordering has occurred, you must deassert and reassert this signal to perform another byte ordering operation. This signal is an synchronous input signal; however, it must be asserted for at least 1 cycle of rx_std_clkout. |
||
Enable rx_std_byteorder_flag port |
On/Off |
Enables the optional rx_std_byteorder_flag status output port. When asserted, indicates that the byte ordering block has performed a byte order operation. This signal is asserted on the clock cycle in which byte ordering occurred. This signal is synchronous to the rx_std_clkout clock. |
