To set the comma pattern that the block searches for in the incoming data stream, the RX_ALIGN_MCOMMA_VAL, RX_ALIGN_PCOMMA_VAL, RX_PCOMMA_ALIGEN, and RX_MCOMMA_ALIGNEN attributes are used. The comma lengths depend on RX_DATA_WIDTH. The following figure shows how RX_ALIGN_COMMA_ENABLE masks each of the comma values to allow partial pattern matching.
The following figure shows how the commas are combined when RX_ALIGN_COMMA_DOUBLE is TRUE.
The following figure shows how a comma is combined with RX_ALIGN_COMMA_ENABLE to make a wild-carded comma for a 20-bit internal comma. If RX_ALIGN_COMMA_DOUBLE is TRUE, the MCOMMA and PCOMMA patterns are combined so that the block searches for two commas in a row. The number of bits in the comma depends on RX_DATA_WIDTH. Either a 16-bit or a 20-bit comma alignment mode is possible. A double comma is only detected when the received data has a PCOMMA defined by RX_ALIGN_PCOMMA_VAL, followed by an MCOMMA defined by RX_ALIGN_MCOMMA_VAL with no extra bits in between. For commas in RAW data mode with 32- or 16-bit data widths, only the lower eight of the ten comma bits are available, even though the Wizard displays all ten.
