Notes to Table 25:
(1) The maximum data rate is in Gbps.
(2) The Phase Compensation FIFO can be configured in FIFO mode or register mode. In the FIFO mode, the pointers are not fixed, and the latency
can vary. In the register mode the pointers are fixed for low latency.
(3) The maximum data rate is also constrained by the transceiver speed grade. Refer to Table 1 for the transceiver speed grade.
