1.3.1.3.5. Reset Condition

The reset_tx_digital signal resets the 8B/10B encoder. During reset, the running disparity and data registers are cleared. Also, the 8B/10B encoder outputs a K28.5 pattern from the RD– column continuously until reset_tx_digital is deasserted. The input data and control code from the FPGA fabric is ignored during the reset state. After reset, the 8B/10B encoder starts with a negative disparity (RD–) and transmits three K28.5 code groups for synchronization before it starts encoding and transmitting the data on its output.

Note: While reset_tx_digital is asserted, the downstream 8B/10B decoder that receives the data might observe synchronization or disparity errors.
