Figure 5–10. Disparity Error
Control Detect
The 8B/10B has the ability to differentiate between data and control codes
via the rx_ctrldetect port. If this port is not in use, there is no way to
differentiate Dx.y from Kx.y.
Figure 5–11 shows an example waveform demonstrating the detection of
a K28.5 code (BC + ctrl). The rx_ctrldetect=1'b1 is aligned with
8'hbc, which indicates that this code is a control code. The reset of the
code received is data.
