Hi,
I designing an Elastic buffer for Ethernet, I would like to insert/ delete I1 and I2 characters. I1 = K28.5 & D5.6, I2 = K28.5 & D16.2
I would like to know if I can delete/insert a part of the I1/I2 character? For example, can I just insert/delete K28.5 character or should I insert/delete k28.5 and D character as well?
Normal sequence would be KDKDKDKDKD After insertion it would be KDKDKKDKDK After deletion it would be KDKDDKDKDK
is this OK?
My second question is
The 8B/10B encoder would encode the 8B data to either a +ve or a -ve disparity 10B data. So is it OK to transmit only I1 or only I2 all the time irrespective of the current running disparity? Because the current running disparity would be corrected by the 8B/10B encoder.
Thanks,
