3.2.3. DCFIFO

The design uses two DCFIFO blocks at both TX and RX paths. The DCFIFO blocks handle data streaming and control signals for clock crossing between different clock domains.

Table 8.  TX and RX DCFIFO Configuration
Parameter Value
lpm_width (Number of lanes x 64)+32
lpm_numwords 64

The format of the data that transmits through the FIFO is similar to the format generated by the traffic generator.

Figure 8. Data Format
Table 9.  Control SignalsThe table lists how the IP concatenates the TX and RX control signals with the data bus signals and passes through the data.
