Table 5–4 lists the XGMII character-to -PCS code-group mapping.
8B/10B Encoder
The 8B/10B encoder is part of the Stratix GX transceiver blocks. The
purpose of the 8B/10B encoder is to translate 8-bit data and a 1-bit control
identifier (via tx_ctrlenable) into a 10-bit DC balanced data stream.
For additional information about the 8B/10B code itself, refer to “8B/10B
Code” on page 10–1. The 8B/10B encoder translates the 8-bit data or 8-bit
control character to its 10-bit equivalent. The conversion format is shown
in Figure 5–18. The10-bit resultant data is transmitted LSB first by the
serializer.
