A Transmit PCS soft bonding logic required for multi-lane bonding configuration and a Receive PCS multi-
lane deskew control logic is provided in the design example.

To implement 40GBASE-R/100GBASE-R using the Low Latency Enhanced PCS preset, change the number
of data channels to four and select appropriate PCS- FPGA Fabric and PCS-PMA width.
(22)
To implement 100GBASE-R via CAUI using the Low Latency Enhanced PCS preset, change the number of
data channels to 10 and select appropriate PCS-FPGA Fabric and PCS-PMA width.
(23)
Low Latency GT protocol preset requires some modification to implement OTU-4 (100G) via OTL4.4/CEI-
28G-VSR.
