Notes to Table 24:
(1) Valid data rates below the maximum specified in this table depend on the reference clock frequency and the PLL counter settings. Check the
MegaWizard message during the PHY IP instantiation.
(2) ATX PLL is recommended at 8 Gbps and above data rates for improved jitter performance.
(3) Channel span is within a transceiver bank.
(4) Side-wide channel bonding is allowed up to the maximum supported by the PHY IP.
