4.3.4.1. Transmitter Transceiver

The transmitter transceiver is an embedded megafunction in the Arria II GX, Arria II GZ, Cyclone IV GX, or Stratix IV GX device, or an embedded Custom PHY IP core in the Arria® V, Cyclone® V, or Stratix® V device, or an embedded Intel® Arria® 10 or Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX Native PHY IP core in the Intel® Arria® 10 or Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX devices.

The transmitter transceiver implements the following process:
  1. Multiplexes the 16-bit or 32-bit parallel input data to the transmitter to 8-bit data.
  2. Performs 8B10B encoding on the 8-bit data to convert it to 10-bit code groups.
  3. Serializes the 10-bit encoded data and sends it to differential output pins.
