1.2.2.1.8. Receiver Byte Reversal
For a 16-bit input data width at the word aligner, the two symbols are bits[15:8] and bits[7:0]. For a 20-bit input data width at the word aligner, the two symbols are bits[19:10] and bits[9:0]. The byte reversal feature at the word aligner output can correct this error by swapping the two symbols in double-width mode at the word aligner output.
Byte Reversal Option | Word Aligner Output | |
---|---|---|
16-bit Data Width | 20-bit Data Width | |
Disabled | D[15:0] | D[19:0] |
Enabled | D[7:0], D[15:8] | D[9:0], D[19:10] |
The reversal is controlled dynamically using the rx_bytereversal_enable register. Enabling the byte reversal option may cause initial disparity errors at the receiver with 8B/10B-coded data. The receiver must be able to tolerate these disparity errors.
