This section shows how to configure and use each of the functional blocks inside the receiver (RX). Each transceiver includes an independent receiver made up of a PCS and a PMA. The following figure shows the blocks of the transceiver RX. High-speed serial data flows from traces on the board into the PMA of the transceiver RX, into the PCS, and finally into the interconnect logic.
