4.1.1.2. TX ILAS
When lane alignment sequence is enabled through the csr_lane_sync_en register, the ILAS sequence is transmitted after the CGS phase. The ILAS phase takes up four multiframes. For Subclass 0 mode, you can program the CSR (csr_ilas_multiframe) to extend the ILAS phase to a maximum of 256 multiframes before transitioning to the encoded user data phase. The ILAS data is not scrambled regardless of whether scrambling is enabled or disabled.
The multiframe has the following structure:
- Each multiframe starts with a /R/ character (K28.0) and ends with a /A/ character (K28.3)
- The second multiframe transmits the ILAS configuration data. The multiframe starts with /R/ character (K28.0), followed by /Q/ character (K28.4), and then followed by the link configuration data, which consists of 14 octets as illustrated in the table below. It is then padded with dummy data and ends with /A/ character (K28.3), marking the end of multiframe.
- Dummy octets are an 8-bit counter and is always reset when it is not in ILAS phase.
- For a configuration of more than four multiframes, the multiframe follows the same rule above and is padded with dummy data in between /R/ character and /A/ character.

The JESD204B TX IP core also supports debug feature to continuously stay in ILAS phase without exiting. You can enable this feature by setting the bit in csr_ilas_loop register. There are two modes of entry:
- RX asserts SYNC_N and deasserts it after CGS phase. This activity triggers the ILAS phase and the CSR stays in ILAS phase indefinitely until this setting changes.
- Link reinitialization through CSR is initiated. The JESD204B IP core transmits /K/ character and causes the RX converter to enter CGS phase. After RX deasserts SYNC_N, the CSR enters ILAS phase and stays in that phase indefinitely until this setting changes.
In ILAS loop, the multiframe transmission is the same where /R/ character (K28.0) marks the start of multiframe and /A/ character (K28.3) marks the end of multiframe, with dummy data in between. The dummy data is an increment of Dx.y.
