1.3. PCS Architecture

Figure 21. PCS Block Diagram of a Transceiver Channel in a Cyclone V DeviceThe serial and parallel clocks are sourced from the clock divider.

The transceiver channel PCS datapath is categorized into two configurations—single-width and double-width, based on the transceiver channel PMA-PCS width (or serialization/deserialization factor).
