4.3.3. PMA

The PMA layer uses four transceiver channels to get the four required physical lanes. Each physical lane operates at 10.3125 Gbps. The interface width is 66 bits wide per lane giving a total PMA data width of 264 bits. The reset controller resides inside the GTS PHY transceiver. The serial clocks are generated inside the PHY.

In the Low Latency 40G Ethernet design for Agilex™ 5 devices, the PMA interface uses 80 bits per PCS lane.
