Note: TX pre-emp is not supported in pre-CDR loopback. TX pre-emp is recommended to set to zero for all taps.
Figure 179. Reverse Serial Loopback Path/Post CDR
The reverse serial loopback path sets the transmitter buffer to transmit data fed directly from the CDR
recovered data. Data from the serializer is ignored by the transmitter buffer.

5.2. Cyclone 10 GX Enhanced PCS Architecture
You can use the Enhanced PCS to implement multiple protocols that operate at around
10 Gbps or higher line rates.
The Enhanced PCS provides the following functions:
• Performs functions common to most serial data industry standards, such as word
alignment, block synchronization, encoding/decoding, and framing, before data is
sent or received off-chip through the PMA
• Handles data transfer to and from the FPGA fabric
• Internally handles data transfer to and from the PMA
• Provides frequency compensation
• Performs channel bonding for multi-channel low skew applications
