1.3.2.1.6. Word Aligner Operations in Deterministic Latency State Machine Mode
In deterministic latency state machine mode, word alignment is achieved by performing a clock-slip in the deserializer until the deserialized data coming into the receiver PCS is word-aligned. The state machine controls the clock-slip process in the deserializer after the word aligner has found the alignment pattern and identified the word boundary. Deterministic latency state machine mode offers a reduced latency uncertainty in the word alignment operation for applications that require deterministic latency.
After rx_syncstatus is asserted and if the incoming data is corrupted causing an invalid code group, rx_syncstatus remains asserted. The rx_errdetect register will be set to 1 (indicating RX 8B/10B error detected). When this happens, the manual alignment mode is not be able to de-assert the rx_syncstatus signal. You must manually assert rx_digitalreset or manually control rx_std_wa_patternalign to resynchronize a new word boundary search whenever rx_errdetect shows an error.
