Primary Differences
R
Serial Rate Support
As the Xilinx transceivers continue to migrate, so do the supported serial rates. Table A-3
shows the rates supported by each MGT and GTP transceiver.
Encoding Support and Clock Multipliers
Protocol encoding support and clock multiplier support vary depending on the transceiver
generation. Table A-4 shows the encoding support available in each MGT and GTP
transceiver.
