The Memce Design MC-XIL-10GEPCS core implements the physical coding sublayer required between the Media Access Control (MAC) device and the optical transponder. A MAC-level device interfaces to the PCS via XGMII. The PCS performs the physical coding using 64/66 encoding and scrambling in the transmit direction, and descrambling, 66/64 decoding in the receive direction. The 66-bit words are read / written 16-bits at a time between the optical transponder via the 16-bit LVDS 10 Gbps Serial Bus Interface (XSBI). The optical transponder serializes and deserializes the electrical data and drives the fiber.
