Chapter 3: Transmitter
Due to the nature of the 64B/66B and 64B/67B encoding schemes, user data is held (paused) during
various sequence counter values. Data is paused for two TXUSRCLK2 cycles in 2-byte mode and
for one TXUSRCLK2 cycle in 4-byte mode. Valid data transfer is resumed on the next
TXUSRCLK2 cycle. The data pause only applies to TXDATA and not to TXHEADER. The
TXSEQUENCE pause locations for various modes are described in Table 3-10 and Table 3-11.
