The TLK2701's datasheets specifies RX latency to be in the range 76...107 bits and to be constant as the link is established.
Does this mean
a) after a loss of sync or a power-cylcle, the new latency is different. In a design where the RX data bus is connected to an FPGA I would have to readjust the input delays after each power-cycle or loss of sync.
or
b) the latency for a certain silicon is always the same (as long as temperature and voltage is constant). In a design where the RX data bus is connected to an FPGA I could adjust the input delays once (factory calibration). Of course I still would have to expect some small latency variation over temp/voltage in the same order like the TX latency.
