PTXA+/-
PTXB+/-
PTXC+/-
PTXD+/-
Primary Differential Serial TX Outputs for Channel n. These pins output
serialized transmit data when PTXENn is HIGH. AC coupling is
recommended.

RTXA+/-
RTXB+/-
RTXC+/-
RTXD+/-
Redundant Differential Serial TX Outputs for Channel n. These pins output
serialized transmit data when RTXENn is HIGH. AC coupling is
recommended.

IDLEA
IDLEB
IDLEC
IDLED
IDLE Detect for Channel n. When HIGH, an IDLE character has been
detected by the decoder and is on Rn(7:0).
When ENDEC=LOW, this is equivalent to COMDETn.

KCHD
Kxx.x CHaracter Detect for Channel n. When HIGH, a special Kxx.x
character has been detected by the decoder and is on Rn(7:0).
When ENDEC=LOW, this is equivalent to data bit Rn8.
