The Ethernet 400G and 200G Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) IP is compliant with the IEEE 802.3bs standard and provides a complete set of features that enable users to define an optimized PCS in products across a range of 400G/200G Ethernet applications.
The PCS IP is designed to work with the Ethernet MAC IP to deliver solutions for 200G & 400G Ethernet applications. The multi-channel, multirate PCS allows flexible use of the various lanes for different PMA interfaces. The IP also includes multiplexed Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC) functions for use by different channels at various speeds.
