Introduction

PolarFire® FPGA family includes embedded low-power, and performance-optimized transceivers. 
The transceivers include the Physical Media Attachment (PMA), the associated logic of the protocol Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS) and interfaces to the FPGA fabric. Each lane in the multi-lane architecture supports serial data transfer rates ranging from 250 Mbps to 12.7 Gbps. The transceivers can be configured either with PMA, or embedded PCS with 8b10b, 64b66b, PIPE, and PCIe® interface modes for connecting to the fabric. For an overview of PolarFire transceivers, see Appendix 1: PolarFire Transceiver Overview.
