Why is there a mismatch in the PFC width between the theory calculation and the hardware measurement in the F-tile Ethernet Hard IP design?

Description

You might observe a mismatch in the PFC width between the theory calculation and hardware measurement at max PFC quanta. This is due to the alignment marker (AM) pulse window within the PCS data, which is causing this variation. 

Resolution

Estimating the deviation of the PFC width from the expected value is impossible. Quanta variation is not quantifiable, and the variation is expected.

There is no plan to fix this problem.
