1.2.2.3.2. 8B/10B Decoder in Double-Width Mode

In double-width mode, two 8B/10B decoders are cascaded to decode the 20-bit code groups into two sets of 8-bit data and two 1-bit control identifiers. When receiving the 20-bit code group, the 10-bit LSByte is decoded first and the ending running disparity is forwarded to the other 8B/10B decoder for decoding the 10-bit MSByte.
