  1. Clocking must be implemented as described in UltraScale Architecture GTH Transceivers User Guide (UG576).
  2. For speed grades -2E and -2I, a 16-bit and 20-bit internal data path can only be used for line rates less than 8.1875 Gb/s.
  3. For speed grades -1E, -1I, and -1Q, a 16-bit and 20-bit internal data path can only be used for line rates less than 6.25 Gb/s.
  4. For speed grade -1LI, a 16-bit and 20-bit internal data path can only be used for line rates less than 6.25 Gb/s when VCCINT = 0.85V or 5.15625 Gb/s when VCCINT = 0.72V.
  5. When the gearbox is used, these maximums refer to the XCLK. For more information, see the UltraScale Architecture GTH Transceivers User Guide (UG576).
