1.2.3.1.1. Transmitter FIFO

The transmitter FIFO provides an interface between the transmitter channel PCS and the FPGA fabric.

In 10GBASE-R configurations, the transmitter FIFO receives data from the FPGA fabric. The data output from the transmitter FIFO block goes to the 64B/66B encoder.

In Interlaken configurations, the transmitter FIFO sends a control signal to indicate whether it is ready to receive data from the FPGA fabric. The user logic sends the data to the transmitter FIFO only if this control signal is asserted. In this configuration, data output from the transmitter FIFO block goes to the frame generator.
